Just saw this on eBay US. Rare as hens teeth...

I have decided to finally fit the UK spec dipstick tube to my NADA gearbox as the current breather is leaking and it is a pain getting under the car whenever I need to check or top up the fluid! I have the adaptor to screw into the gearbox and the later dipstick and tube with the flexible...

So the inevitable has finally happened. After my trip back from the NEC Classic car show, and the first time I have used the heater in years, a small puddle of coolant has appeared on the garage floor and for those with a NADA car, you will not be surprised to hear it is the Ranco heater valve...

My BW35 has been leaking for ages. I have changed the inhibitor switch, the speedo cable seal and the sump gasket (twice) now with an uprated rubber one). It isn't leaking from the oil cooler pipes and doesn't leak when driven. In fact it takes the best part of a week to start leaking after a...

Any idea what the best 'drop in' camshaft is for an SD1 Vitesse V8? I usually go for standard as they always work but I understand the 3.9 land Rover cam is a good option? I am not looking for race car performance, just driveability!!

Does anyone have an easy way for replacing the front engine mountings on a 2200SC? It is looking like the engine and bellhousing may need to be split to allow enough upward movement of the engine to remove the mounts?

I recently had my inhibitor switch seemingly come loose and leak a lot of gearbox fluid onto my garage floor! I have since replaced it with a new one. I have adjusted it and tightened the locknut carefully as not to damage the aluminium thread. I just looked under my car and there is another...

I have a leaking gearbox sump. I tried fixing it using a super dooper rubber gasket guaranteed never to leak but it leaks like a sieve so I am going to revert to standard and replace it with the original cork type gasket. My question is, do I use gasket sealant or not and if so, one face or...

I know there have been threads here before but I am having a nightmare setting up the gearbox isolator switch. All was fine until I had the gearbox rebuilt. I assume during this, the switch was removed and replaced in the usual set position. My first problem was that the car was fine when cold...

I have been going through my collection of manuals and handbooks and I have come across a service book for a 3500S NADA with the chassis number 43301919A, originally owned by a Mr Kyszkowski and delivered in Frankfurt, Germany on August 8th 1970, from SBC Automobile Services, Frankfurt. It's...

Ruediger Wicke's P6 Web page seems to have disappeared. Am I using an old link? It had a lotof interesting data on.

Does anyone know if it is OK to run a standard 1988 SD1 Vitesse V8 engine on Super unleaded without a lead addative?

Apparently Bristols Clean Air Zone will start operating on Monday 28 November 2022 so I thought I would check my vehicles. I have a 1988 TVR 350i, a 1987 VW T25 camper van, a 2005 Mercedes CLK320 Convertible, a 2011 Citroen C3 Picasso TDi, a 2020 Kawasaki Ninja H2 motorcycle, and of course my P6...

I was just looking through some old rally photos and there are a number of P6's in them that I can see the registrations. I wonder if anyone recognises them? From the late 80's early 90's Bristol area OAC 733M Blue and not a V8 BEA ?64J Tobacco leaf? PMO 118R V8 possibly advacado? ?JH...

I have a TVR 350i which is fitted with a Rover SD1 Vitesse engine and gearbox. The gearbox is an LT77 suffix E. I want to replace the rear oil seal but there seems to be some confusion as to what the part number is. Rimmers state UKC3949 as for suffix A to C and FRC6084A for suffix D, which as I...

I have Magstars on my NADA and I do get the wheel rubbing problem on one side. On inspection, and I assume due to build tolerances, on the nearside, the tyre is roughly 1/4" closer to the lip of the wheelarch than on the offside. Is it possible to adjust the diff on the diff carrier to move it...

On the subject of rip off parts, I found these two on line. The first is a throttle position sensor advertised for a Lotus Carlton. Original Lucas and apparently 'like finding a Unicorn'! And all for the bargain price of £999 +VAT and shipping, Tornado Systems | Rover V8 14CUX TPS throttle...

I have tried to set my kickdown cable by trial and error but I am not sure it is really in the right place so I want to set it using a pressure gauge as per the manual. There is a threaded bung at the back of the gearbox to screw an adaptor in but I don't know what thread size it is. Does anyone...

I am recolouring the inside front seat edges and backs, headrests, and door cards in my camper van with vinyl dye. I have tested a can of light beige TRG vinyl dye on an old headrest and the results are impressive. However the colour I want is only available in 150mm cans and not the larger...

A wise man once told me that the standard V8 inlet manifold was cast such that one carburettor feeds the two middle cylinders on one bank and the outer two cylinders on the other bank, and the other carburettor feeds the remaining four cylinders. Is this true?
