Hi everyone, I just thought I'd let you all know that I've decided to take the big fella off the market. I had alot of enquiries from all over the place and a few phone calls, but I got annoyed when the car had a viewing from someone who clearly just wanted to kick tyres and get the car for...

Hi everyone, Yes, regretfully I have to say goodbye to my Rover :( There has been alot of interest in it. Quite a few enquiries from abroad too :shock: I always thought it would stay with me, but lack of time means I can't give it the attention it deserves, plus the fact I've hardly driven...

Re: P6 V8 project: Alloy wheels fitted! time for bodywork Hi mate, I was having a nose about as I haven't been on here for some time. I came across this thread and realised I'd seen your car at the Mopar Euro Nationals in July - although the penny didn't drop until I saw your wheels...

Hello again everyone, sorry I haven't been on here for a while. The last time I posted, I told you all about my latest (at that time) purchase which I still have. I have however been busy working on it since then, and I will update my post in "Members Projects" soon. Although I don't know the...

Hi everyone, long time no type :D I would like to pick your brains about a problem i'm currently having. The arse end of my P6 is sitting to low on the drivers side, so I bought some new heavy duty springs and a pair of new shocks. Unfortunately, although both sides are approx. an inch higher...

Hi everyone :D I didn't know where to post this, but I thought I would let you all know that I have a complete set of Sundym Glass for sale on eBay if anyone is interested. I bought it to put in my P6, but I would much rather get the engine sorted as it's really spoiling my enjoyment of...

Hello everyone, I have a question for you all regarding the inlet manifold on my V8 P6. Looking at various pics and flicking through my operations manual, I can't find any info regarding a pipe that has been blocked off. There is a small pipe that comes out of the manifold which goes to the...

Hello again everyone. Firstly, I have been away for a bit as I haven't had chance to play with the Rover much. I have had to sort my daily runner out which means any spare dosh has to be put into that. Secondly, thanks for reading so far and leaving your comments :D I have been having the odd...

Sorry, I forgot about this :roll: Thanks for posting those pics mate, very helpful :wink: :D

Hi y'all :D I would like to ask a question about my dipstick. On top of the dipstick tube there looks like there's a rubber 'O' ring, and on top of the dipstick there is a 'top hat' if you like. Is this meant to have a tight push on fit with the dipstick tube, or is it meant to be like a stick...

Thanks for your reply Harvey... I am pleased to say I have found the problem :D At some point in the past, probably when it was last on the road (1989), some person had removed the Thermostat :roll: Now this always worries me because there must have been a reason to take it out. Anyway, I...

Hi Harvey, thanks for the detailed reply :D I wouldn't say it over pressurizes as it still has alot of water in it & it would be constantly overflowing (which it isn't). It does build pressure up quickly, but it's always maintained at the same pressure if that makes sense. I checked the...

Hi everyone, I have what I think maybe a problem. My cooling system seems to pressurize quite quickly without the top heater pipe getting hot. I thought Bonza, it's a blocked matrix. So yesterday I spent an hour and a half flushing crap out of it, and trying to bleed the system of air. I went...

From what I have seen, 'Cat C' can be given to vehicles that can have a bent wheel and wing, right up to my mates Zetec-S when he bought it. We both didn't realise just how much work his car would need as it only looked like a front end, but it was cheaper than buying a second hand 3 owner car...

Hi mate, 'Cat C' means the vehicle was deemed uneconomical to repair and in most cases needs a fair bit of work to put right. I have been told that a category C rating is given to vehicles with suspension damage, but i'm not sure if this is true (although it was with a friends Fiesta Zetec-S)...

Thanks mate, I will have a rummage and see what I can find :D Just thinking, do you use the threaded handle (which secures the wheel in the boot), to secure it to the boot lid?

Unfortunatley I have found a flat tyre on my Rover today, and it looks like it's because the tyre itself is old and slightly perished. I knew I would have to change the tyres at some point, but it has happened sooner rather than later. First of all, what tyre size should be on a 3500 S... Are...

Hello again, I keep forgetting to ask this question. My bootlid has been converted for a boot mount spare wheel, but I know there are some parts missing. I have the strengthening brace inside the boot lid, and the badge and holder are there too. Oh it's also got the chrome lifting handle. What...

Hi all, I wondered if you could tell me where the safest place is to jack up a P6 with a trolley jack? Unfortunatley my car didn't come with a jack and I don't want to be jacking up a 2 ton mansion in the wrong place lol. BTW, it's the rear end I need to raise as one of my tyres has perished...

Re: My 3500 S - WITH PIC'S >>> Ah fair doo's mate, I obviously got my wires a bit crossed there :oops: Thanks for all your comments lads :D I made some brakets up on Monday for the fog lamps I won on eBay before I bought the car :lol: If you put the bits of metal back together, they...

Ah lovely stuff, thanks for that :D It has had a bit of wiring done by an auto-electrician in the past. I suppose it's an easy mistake to make considering he didn't have a circuit diagram to work from. I will let him off :wink: :lol: Thanks again :wink:

Hi everyone :D I wondered if anyone could tell me what the positions on the interior light switch operate? At the moment, position 1 turns on the interior light and position 2 turns the interior light & map light on together. Now me being me, I have a habbit of looking at things logically. I...

Re: My 3500 S - WITH PIC'S >>> Thanks for the replies fellas :D 'TwinPlenum3500S' : Your're right, the doors are a bit boss-eyed, the passenger ones are better, but they all need a bit of attention. It looks like the bottom half of the doors have had new metal let in. I'm not sure what to do...

Re: My 3500 S - Picking It Up Today!

Re: My 3500 S Good news... I am picking the car up this afternoon. Expect pics in the next few hours!!!
