I was made redundant 18 months ago so the P6 got parked up and has been ever since. Someone suggested I use the Rover for school prom nights and weddings so it pays for its own expenses etc but it seems none of the regular classic car insurance companies allow it. I have tried Richardson Hosken...

The alternator on my 76 V8 has packed up (light on and erratic ammeter), I have acquired a reconditioned 18ACR alternator via Ebay but it doesn't have the extra connection. Will it work Ok? I have been led to believe I can tape up the extra wire and leave it disconnected but I am unconvinced.

Found this on another forum......... Taken from driftireland.com; Warning..!!!! Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public car park in the city . As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for...

I have heard a rumour on another forum that someone has got one for racing next season,which even though I used to race myself I think is an act of sacrilege! Just wondered if anyone has had one stolen as I cant imagine one being sold for "banger" money. Unless its that horrendously modified one...

Does anyone know what the correct servo ratio is for a late V8 auto with a Lockheed servo so I can source one on Ebay for sensible money? The vacuum side of the servo is OK but the seals have given up letting all the fluid escape into the vacuum tank. :roll:

Will this fit a V8 P6? bloke selling says no but I got the impression he didnt want to sell to someone who doesnt own a stag :? The photo looks identical to the one that is currently on my bench and stopping my Rover from working.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Triumph-Stag-NEW- ... 7C294%3A50

I need the bit with the short silencer that goes from about where the handbrake is to the back axle. Anyone got a half decent second hand one? doesnt matter if it needs a SMALL repair, I think its the bigger bore one as its a late car. I welded a big patch on it just to get it through the MOT...

The Rover V8 engine has been used in many unusual applications over the years but is this a first? http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=ho ... 682&ref=nf

Just got the V8 MOTed, done all of 3 miles and the starter has packed up. Sometimes it will turn the engine but most of the time it just clicks. Has anybody local-ish to South Lincs got one? Will any rover V8 starter fit? plenty on Ebay but they are nearly all off Range Rovers or Land Rovers.

I have been thinking about getting AA or similar cover but dont know who is the best to go with, I dont need home start or "tow to the nearest garage service" (not many modern garages would be able to help a dead P6 anyway, nowhere to plug in laptop!). I just need a tow home if for instance the...

Temperature gauge has stopped reading now! gauge is ok as the needle goes right across when I short the wire out. Does anyone know if a sender from anything else will fit? Had a quick look on Ebay but there is nothing for 4 cylinder P6s. Someone suggested BMC A series sender might be the same...

Has anyone got a litre or two going spare or even a nsf wing and door in good condition in Mexico brown? I am in south Lincs so will need to be fairly local if poss.

Relisted for what must be the third or fourth time, dont let the banger boys have it :( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROVER-P6-2000-SC- ... 240%3A1318

Has anybody tried them in the longterm? I believe they used to be called FuelCat or something similar and there are some on Ebay now for £35. I cant justify the expense of having the valve seats done as the Rover wont do more than 1000 miles a year. I know the technology was developed for piston...

Has anyone got a spare one? can collect from South Lincs, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk area. Might take complete engine and automatic gearbox (2000 or 2200).

It was blowing from No4 port when I got the car so I removed it, got some new gaskets from JRW and had the face of the manifold trued up on a milling machine as it was pitted and quite badly warped from one end to the other. Its been back together a few weeks but the bolts are refusing to stay...

Has anybody done it and whats the best engine gearbox combination to go for? I have a solid MOTed tax excempt 2000sc auto with a now totally dead gearbox which I cant really warrant spending £4-£500 on as it will never be a minter and I would rather spend the money on my long term P6B project...

I have just recommisioned a 2000 automatic that has been stood since 2001, It passed its MOT this morning and I have done about 50 miles in it mostly round the lanes but I did run it up to 60Mph at one point on an A road. The gearbox doesnt seem to want to change up to third gear even at 60. I...
