If no one wants these bits by next weekend, they are going in the bin.

I bought an eezibleed many years ago. I wrote to them and they sent me a suitable cap for the P6 for free. Don't know if they will still do this.

Sorry, been away from the board for a week or so. These parts are still available.

I'm having a clear out of the garage and have a whole load of P6 parts. The parts include (but this list is not exhaustive)... Spare wheel and cover for inside boot Battery box lid Internal door "wood" trim strips (there are at least 5) "S" wheel trims Offside rear wing in usable condition I...

I've put my spare clock on ebay, along with a few other P6 bits

If you need some of the trim clips for the rubbing strips I have a set of them. I found them the other day when clearing the garage out.

I have a spare Kienzel clock in the parts that I'm selling. I repaired it many years ago, using fuse wire, as a spare for my car.

I'm having a clear out of my garage, as it needs re-roofing. I've also sold my P6, so there are some bits that need to go. All items are in Sittingbourne, Kent and are collection only. Set of leather seats. These are pale (I'm somewhat colour blind) and are in reasonable condition, with a...

How about a T16 turbo engine? You can pick up a donor 620Ti for around £400. For rear wheel drive you can use a gearbox from an LDV Pilot. The T16 turbo engine is 200bhp as standard, and with some minor modifications 250bhp is achievable. The stock internal on the T16 are good for up to...

That is correct. I believe that MGR did build one ZT with the 32 valve engine, but all the rest used the SOHC engine. BTW an anomaly in the cat tax system means that the Rover 75 V8 and ZT 260 are at quite a high rate (someone I know with one pays £425), whereas the SV and SV-R are only £195...

One of the reasons that MG Rover ended up with the Ford V8 was the purchase QVale. The Mangusta, which became the XPower SV, was powered by the Ford V8. The non-supercharged SVs use the 32 valve engine and the supercharged (only 4 built) used the 16 valve engine. MG Rover was of the opinion...

Would hardly call it an ideal engine to swap for the Buick V8. Remember, these are the 16 valve Mustang engines, so the design is nearly as old as the P6. It is also a 4.6l engine that produces only 260bhp and expect to get fuel consumption figures of around 25mpg when cruising on the...

I've got a stainless steel centre box from a 3500S that I would sell.

I've just listed a P6 3500S on ebay. The engine starts, but the car has been neglected for many years so needs a lot of TLC.

Most likely cause of the heater not blowing hot air is the valve on the bulkhead, or the hose that is attached to it. If the hose attached to the heater control valve is fitted with a Saab valve, then this is the most likely cause. Another possibility is the water pump. These seem to have...
