Afternoon All, am looking for some opinions on new front discs for a 3500s. I can see evilbay listings for Wins and also EBC discs, does anyone have experience of either before I shell out my hard earned beer tokens! I notice that the EBC ones are listed as 262mm diameter as opposed to 270mm for...

All now sold.:):):)

Evening all, I've just listed on ebay an LT77 gearbox from an SD1 (D suffix) along with bell housing, mechanism etc. I've also got a new boxed clutch, a good auto propshaft, clutch bearing, in fact virtually everything needed to carry out the conversion. I'm mentioning it on here as well, so if...

Evening All, I'm starting to plan getting my 3500s ready for the good weather (got plenty of time to kill!) and am wanting to get a set of seat covers that won't look like they've come from the local boot fair and made by Stevie Wonder. I don't want to spend a fortune as I will be re-stitching...

Good evening all, am attempting to finally sort out the remaining few problems on my 3500s to get her ready for the glorious summer ahead, and found what I thought was the perfect solution for one of the issues which was a NOS ignition switch - listed as part number 586750 - which I believed to...

Hi Mike, I know, I've spent what seemed like an eternity going through previous posts on the subject, but others seemed more concerned about retaining original dimensions so as not to screw up their speedo readings. As I'm not worried about that I was just hoping someone may have already gone...

Hi All, after a bit of advice. Over the next month or two I'm planning to get round to fitting an LT77 to my 3500s (finally got all the bits :D ) and at the same time fitting a set of 15" Rostyles from a P5. I'm after hearing from anyone with experience of tyres for the 15"ers. As I'm going to...

Hmmmmm, love that dappled brown finish, maybe it's mum was a giraffe :wink:

Looks like a nice one, and with the 'notchy' gearbox it's ripe for a 5-speed conversion! :D http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C251464 Wonder if the interior's as nice?

Hi Dave, have checked connections where obvious, but not at the switch. May well have a delve into that when the weather dries up a bit - cheers.

Afternoon All, I'm hoping someone will be able to help with a problem I've had with for a while now (no, not THAT, the car!). :oops: She's starting fine, but will cut out for no apparent reason at absolutely any time..... sometimes within seconds of being re-started, other times after miles...

A final reminder to anyone who's thinking about coming along on the 22nd May. Entry forms must be received back at least a week before so that pennants can be ordered and passes sent out, as there is no just turning up on the day as no-one without a pass will be allowed on site. As I mentioned...

Just to let anyone who's interested know that my local village fayre will be holding a classic vehicle show on May 22nd with all vehicles welcome (cars, bikes, agricultural). The venue is the village playing fields, Hempstead, Kent. I have an electronic copy of the application/registration form...

Hi Nick, would you by any chance still have a NS rear door? If you could let me know it would be much appreciated. Kind Regards, John

Wonder if any one can help. I'm after a set of door handles for my '72 3500s as I want to get mine re-chromed but still need to get in and out of the car while they're away :D . Therefore, I don't need a set of minters (although if they were cheaper than getting mine re-chromed I would :wink: )...

When you've sobered up enough to read this, congratulations on going up! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Am I missing something here? :?

If this does turn out to be an SD1 badge then http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-BRC6198 would have been a better bet :cry:

Thanks for that, I didn't realise. I'll just check if I've got a spare arm and leg............... :wink:

That part is easy enough, but I want them to look as original as possible so I'd like to measure widths, depth, height etc to get the overall shape just so :?

Wonder if anyone can help. I'm after a pair of rear headrests, preferably black vinyl/ambla. If all else fails, is there anyone near me in Kent that's got one that I can have a look at and measure, and get my friendly trimmer to copy. My eventual plan is to incorporate a pair of speakers inside...

Well spotted that man! :D No, he wasn't looking to buy, I had to give him a lift to my daughters junior school, where he'd been asked to perform an opening ceremony for a new outdoor classroom for the kiddiewinkies. As parking at the school is an issue, I thought he'd like to arrive in style...

I'm attaching a photograph of a former member of the Royal Family who appears to have fallen for a 3500s Well, he was King of the Jungle for a while!!

Dear anyone and everyone, have any of you had experience of this set-up? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rover-P5-P6-SD1-e ... 483a8b6c2c If it works, it looks like a very cost-effective set-up. John

Whereabouts are you? There's a very good trimmer near me who I do some work for and is very helpful. He works on all both modern and classics - he's just finished off an old MG and a Rover 90 front bench which both looked stonking after he'd finished. He's based in Chatham in Kent. If that's any...
