I have severe N/S/F and O/S/R wheel bearing noise/rumble. I can see removing the front hub is straight forward, but reading the overhaul manual for the rear, the hub is removed along with the drive shaft? Is this necessary? Can I just remove the bearing housing from the De Dion elbow? Also they...

Hi everyone, Much to my horror after a short drive this afternoon I discovered both inertia seat belts are not working. The passenger side does not even retract with the drivers not stopping as it should when tugged quickly. Is there a repair company anyone could recommend? Or, just bite the...

Any advice welcome on this one. Drove my car over the weekend for a short journey to test it before a longer drive over the weekend and to cut a long story short, the nylon throttle coupling broke (accelerator pedal link to carburetters) and I managed to rig something up in order for me to...

Can any member suggest a decent breakdown recovery company. I have just taken a quick look and most will not over any car older than 18 years. I am after driver cover which will not only cover my 72 P6, but also my van. (business) Any suggestions / advice welcome. Many thanks in advance...

Since owning my car (4 yrs) the fuel gauge has never registered on my dash, so I have had no idea on how much fuel was in the tank. Today I topped it up with hardly any miles driven in 4 years as I was always working on it until today when after a long time in my garage working on various...

One of the biggest events of the year and I am certainly going to this. Is anyone else going? Also perhaps just an idea, but how about sharing what anyone has and what it is they are looking for? I have a few things I need and of course will be going with cash. I also have stuff which I have...

After months of working on the car (dashboard removed) replacing wiring and sorting out gauges where they make electrical contact with the PCB with everything back in place now, I decided to take my car for a short drive and everything behaves as it should do aside from the speedometer is no...

I am after decent main beams headlamps, ideally Cibie as per factory fit as the ones currently on the car are in such a bad way due to the reflective chrome having dropped off. I've looked at a few suppliers which offer Lucas. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Thanking anyone in...

A general inquiry for replacement head light which are the main beam units as the chrome has deteriorated (inner pair) so the pair need replacing. Can anyone recommend replacement as no doubt there are some cheap replacements on ebay, but I am after quality. My second inquiry are mirrors as...

I had cause to remove air the intake valance in order to remove the wiper motor assembly to access the cable which goes through the bulkhead. Now I have come back to refitting this and I am struggling trying to get this to line up on the side where the small screws either side which screws to...

After resolving an ignition problem and running the engine only to discover fuel leaking (badly) from the second carburetor float chamber lid, so assume it's the gasket. Can anyone direct me to a supplier please. I am desperate to have this car running before the next lockdown.... I wish I was...

At long last Gene is running and very smooth, but concerned as the new ignition coil is running so hot that you can't touch it. The initial problem was the cable which runs from the tachometer to the + side of the ignition coil was essentially passing heavy current. To cut a long story very...

I ordered a replacement starter solenoid as the original was faulty in the fact it was shorting and pulling current (with the big help of an auto-electrician) through the cold start feed cable (heavier gauge wire) which goes to the + side of the ignition coil. In order to replace the solenoid...

In the end I engaged the services of an auto-electrician to find out why too much current was being drawn from/through the tachometer. To cut a long story short, the alternator solenoid is faulty, so I am after another solenoid. Can anyone help with a supplier as the usual ones do not have any...

Now I am confused... To cut a long story short. After finding some burnt wiring which I followed back from the + side of the ignition coil, through the bulk-head, getting lost behind the dashboard with the only option but to remove the complete dashboard. I carefully unwrapped the electrical...

My first posting on this forum and I am wondering if anyone can help. I have four Rover P6 manuals (genuine service manual) with differing wiring schematic. I have a 1972 P6 which uses the lumenition MK12 (fitted in the late 70's) and the car was working perfectly (all gauges) so I know the...
