    Static seat belts

    Having bought a s1 interior for my s2 without bothering to read up first I find my inertia seat belts fit any more. I quite liked the static belts I had in my viva so not fussed about a retrograde! Has anyone got a set lying about?

    Just a quickie!

    Rad cap leaks on top seal. There is no rubber seal on the outer sealing surface just a metal spring steel washer. Both old ones I have are like that too. Water drips out from expansion tank when cold and is forced out of rad when hot. Has a rubber seal fallen off or do the rely on metal to...

    Alternative radiator for v8?

    Basically as the title says. Mine is in a right state - it's only the Kenlowe holding it together! Engines out at mo so don't mind messing around with brackets. Has anyone bothered finding something more modern that fits or is it always a recore job?

    Shopping list please!

    Right! My motor has spent more time off the road than on it for the past 3 years and I'm fed up with bodges and half measures in sorting the engine out. There is still a racket from the top left side when hot and I've already thrown a cam kit at it. To rebuild the heads is likely to cost me a...

    Surging.

    Sd1 on carbs, electronic timing. Was out and about and driving 'energetically' when engine just died. Twiddled a few wires near coil/fuel pump/ballast and then got it started but surging like mad. Managed to keep it going by tweaking throttle and then ran fine again. Drove to remaining 6 miles...

    'PAE' on 2 wheels!

    Spotted hooning towards B&Q in Loughborough this morning! I was sat in a Megane CC at the lights cursing the prat who only pulled away just as they turned back to red leaving me to sit through another cycle :x

    Brake warning light intermittent on the move.

    Guessing this is a loose earth somewhere. Tried fiddling with reservoir cap wires but no light. Comes on, on the move and more so the higher the speed (wind buffeting / vibration?). No loss of fluid. Any ideas where to start looking. Were all cars fitted with pad level circuits?

    Setting up timing from scratch

    Hi, Finally got new cam / followers fitted but having real trouble running up. I have to admit I didn't do it myself and I found a local mobile mechanic recommended to me - apparently with experience of landrover engines so I thought he'd be worth a punt. Maybe I'd have been better paying more...

    Identifying engine

    Hi, I have decided to order the cam kit but I can't find an engine number on next to the dipstick tube. Al that's there is "CC" stamped in the centre of the flat. there are no feint figures there either. I have no history of the engine and only know it to be SD1. How do I find out the CR? Is CC...

    Laying up

    Is there anything I should do to minimize deterioration to my V8 when leaving it for a few months? It's already sat for at least 2 months. I still need to fish that cam and followers out and sort out the leaking rear caliper. I've bought the brake seal kit but I can't afford any other bits /...

    V8 lump wanted

    Preferably one out of something a bit newer than an SD1 and without starship mileage. I don't need a project engine - I've got one of those already! Cash waiting for right motor. Dan Leics

    Expensive?

    Recently she's developed a bit of a clattering when fully warmed up. Only does it when revved in neutral - seems fine at tickover and under load. Changed oil 20/50 / slick 50 and its made no difference. Pressure might be a bit low - about 30 in gear - down to bugger all on tickover (when hot)...

    Moto gp

    Currently bouncing around the campsites at Donington in the back of a knackered plod LDV. Just seen a rather presentable cream series one. Our sgt wont let me out for a closer look unfortunately! Anyone we know?

    Noisey power steering

    When very cold first thing in the morning - ie recently - the power steering makes a bit of a racket for about a minute. Is this normal or a sign of imminent failure!

    Halogen headlamps conversion

    I realise there have been a few posts on this before as I've done the searches but the problems I'm having are in a couple of different subjects to I thought I'd create a new topic. When I bought the car it had sealed beam units which to be fair were next to useless - especially when one went...

    got a 3500S

    Despite being in the throes of a particularly virulant strain of manflu I braved the byways of London to pick up my new motor. It was on ebay for about a day but i rang the seller and made a cash offer. It's a 72 3500S fitted with a SD1 engine and 5 speed and it made the 4 hour return journey...

    East Mids

    Is there a regular meeting in this area? I live in Leics and am looking to buy a P6 in the very near future having had one eons ago. I used to know Alan in Leicester who I believe was the area chap for this club (not sure on that though). This was in the mid nineties. My Rover passed away...

    Ello x3

    Hi all, Just joined the site as I'm after a P6 - preferably a 3500. Just sold my 2.3 Viva HB which I had for best part of 8 years. This replaced a 2.2TC (GUR650L) I wrote off! Always hankered after a good P6 though hence the eventual sale of the veev. GURL was rotten as a pear so I'm well aware...
