    Non Rover!

    Anyone in Cardiff close enough to buy one of these please, and stick it in an envelope? FUHR INFRONT KEEP (KICK PEDAL) (FIFKPKEEP) – LockStocker – King Solutions Can't believe the shysters want twelve quid to post it to me in Leicester. :oops: Which, of course, I'm not up for. Cheers, Stan

    Door Locking Buttons

    Hi, Would anyone have 4 interior door lock buttons they could let me have for beer tokens please? Maybe somebody breaking a P6? Mine are damaged. The ones I'm replacing are 2" long......I seem to remember seeing shorter versions back in the dim and distant. Thanks, Stan

    Battery Drain

    UPDATE: Thanks for this, Graeme. It is indeed the stereo that's causing the issue. When I unplug it the current drain at the battery drops to 2 to 3 mA. :) Stan

    Battery Drain

    Thanks. It's an integral regulator on the ACRs and, as Colin suggested above, I've unplugged the alternator but the draw's still there.

    Battery Drain

    Thanks mate, The stereo dates from 2008 when I put it in from new, I'll pull it and see what effect that has on the drain. Stan

    Battery Drain

    Thanks Graeme, I'm far from au fait with all the technicalities :), but I did think the existing battery going completely flat may have knackered it, so I put a brand new one in. At the moment I'm pulling #1 fuse while the car's stationary, and the voltage is still holding steady around 12.7V...

    Battery Drain

    Basically what I listed on my original post, mate. Agree, 40mA is not a lot.......but it seems to be enough if the car's not in use for a couple of days or more. :)

    Battery Drain

    Yes, that's basically what I did to find the source of the drain although I always disconnect the negative to avoid the possibiilty of a short to the body. The parasitic draw is 40mA across fuse #1. Stan

    Battery Drain

    Just the stereo head unit which is ignition controlled. Hmm...but, from memory, I think there's a permanent live connection as well.

    Battery Drain

    Alternator disconnected but still the same current across the fuseway, sadly. :rolleyes:

    Thanks Colin, I'll give it a go. :thumb:

    Battery Drain

    Having been away for a couple of weeks, I came home and went to start Occie, my Series 2 3500S, only to find the battery was completely dead. No voltage reading at all on the multimeter. Managed, to my surprise, to get it back to seemingly fully charged using the CTEK charger in Recondition...

    Electric fuel pump for rover 3500S

    That's the one I used, and it works really well. I sited it next to the washer bottle and ran the new fuel line under the wing. Don't forget to fit an inertia switch for safety.

    Series 1 clock

    Thanks, Phil. By coincidence I came across a non-working Series 1 clock in the garage (when I was looking for something else :)), so I might have a delve into it for interest.

    Series 1 clock

    How does the bezel come off, Phil? Is it just a push/force fit on the can?
