Hi All, I have a perfect condition Rover P6 fuel tank (I think from a V8) Free to a good home - collection from Twickenham. stevehodder@blueyonder.co.uk Cheers, Steve

Thanks for the pointers Gents, I'll do some investigating. Steve

Hi All, Now I've started to use my P6 in the cold - I've realised my heater isn't working. The 2 speed fan works a treat either in the demist or interior position, but it just blows cold the whole time. Any ideas / pointers on where to start. Thanks, Steve

Hi All, I've now changed the tyres for modern Goodyears, and the sound has quietened down considerably It's still there slightly but has reduced in volume. I'll put some miles on the car and report back for future readers! Cheers, Steve

To further update this thread, I fitted a new fuel tank sender purchased from John Wadhams (for the 4 cylinder cars, V8 ones are no longer available apparently) and it all works perfectly, shows FULL when the tank is actually full. Cheers, Steve

Gents, I’m experiencing fuel smells in the cabin with my P6 3500. I removed the tank, replaced the sender and the two filler hose pipes, and it still smells in the boot. Opening the window as your driving along seems to suck the fumes back in the car. Can anyone give me any pointers on how...

Thanks Chris, I'll await more advice. Me and auto boxes tend not to mix (and by fate all of my cars are autos :roll: ) The whining noise is more of a high pitched "whizz" linked to engine revs. More pertinent information - the car is low mileage and looks like was last MOT'd in 2001 (and has...

Hi Chris, Thanks for taking the time to reply. To answer some of your ideas; Interior Fan is off. No power steering. The alterantor bearings' are a bit noisy from cold, but it's a different noise. The noise in question really is right from stand still, (i'd expect noisy tyres to be more at...

Hi All, As an update to this topic, I changed both front wheel bearings, discs and calipers with new pads (all were past their best) and the noise is still there! Any other ideas? its' deffinately a rotating noise that gets louder the faster you go, but can change "pitch" over different road...

Hi all, I have a problem with my 1974 P6B V8. Took the car for a drive this morning, happily driving at about 30mph and I noticed an engine speed dependant whine from the engine or gearbox. Stopped the car, checked under the bonnet = all was fine, jumped back in the car and put in gear no soft...

Thanks Stan, that’s really helpful. Can anyone tell me where the voltage regulator physically is? And does it control more than one instrument - what is 111 in your diagram? (everything else is working fine – except the clock…) I can check the voltage output from the voltage regulator to the...

Hi All, As an update to this thread, I rebuilt the fuel pump with a kit from Rover Classics. Straight forward enough, fitted it back on the car and no leaks - perfect! Fuel Gauge - jacked the car up this evening underneath with a multimeter - the green cable I presume should be constant 12v...

Morning All, I fitted an LPG kit to my P5B - different under the bonnet with a bit more room, but you get the idea. Its' a relatively easy kit to install and setup as long as you're mechanically minded and methodical. The engine runs better on LPG than on petrol, slightly down on power (LPG...

Hi Ron, I've only had the P6 two weeks, and it's covered just over 31,000 miles - tyres were fitted by the previous owner. I did a 60-mile round trip yesterday so slowly getting used to what I've bought... :D Pics from yesterday; The sound is only coming from the passenger side...

Thanks for the pointer gents, Tyres are all new, but a cheapy brand. I'll jack it up again tomorrow and have a good route around. I have new bearings so will change it anyway and see if it goes away... Cheers, Steve
