Very sad news indeed, please pass on our condolences to Richards family. Richard was one of life's good guy's, and we will all miss him as a friend and Rover Guru. Mike Breading.

Hi Guys, Many thanks for the replies: My friends 3500 auto had been already converted using a 2000 pedal box by a previous owner, and that you can only get a feeler gage between the exhaust manifold and clutch master cylinder :shock: and is not ideal at all, and with missing/leaking fluid most...

I would be interested to know if anyone has converted a V8 Auto to manual box :D I am especially interested the clutch master cylinder arrangement, I'm aware of the closeness to the exhaust manifold using the 2000 pedal box but has anyone done the 's' pedal box fitment, along with all the...

Just to report:- Now that I have successfully established how to bypass the 'Ballast Resistor' with the help of other forum members on my late P6 and different set-ups with the P6 V8 range, I'm now at last up and running :D with a more smoother running and easier start up. I can say that I...

Hi Stan, Yes the wiring diagram is the same as yours, and when you think about connecting to a differnt power suply it makes sense! I will give it a go tommorrow and hopefully all will be resolved. :) Many thanks to you and Will for your responces and help. :D Mike.

Just to update what I have left of the boot mount kit:- The locking device that is bolted to the underside of the boot which is intact and the large supporting boot frame. I now only need the 'cup' that locks onto the top of the boot that the spare wheel rests!

Richard, Hope you'll soon be feeling fine The way you were before Because things just won't be the same Until you're well once more :)

Found this very interesting site of old film archive of central England by Mace, (Media Archive for Central England) but only two of the P6 related films have to date been uploaded. As can be seen that about 22 pages are available if you search Rover, the first link is of 114 FLK and the second...

Hi Demetris, Yes no problem, send me a pm with your details. Mike.

Cheers Nick, many thanks. Chris, as explained I need more than one for my project for the fitment of my roof lights! I do have other bits of the kit that are not required if anyone else needs them, stay, bracket, cup etc! Mike.

Bump! Items still required. Mike.

Wanted:- metal locating ring that sits on top of boot lid and boot badge holder that is used when wheel not fixed to boot, badge not required or condition of holder is important, as it will need to be cut/altered!
