Hi All, What are your favourite blocks that you use for flatting. I need a new one ..... How about a link to an eBay item to show me what you like best. Cheers, Bri.

Hi all, I've been thinking about getting the Gunson Eezibleed kit, but what puts me off is that the maximum cap size in the kit is 46mm. going from my hazy memory (and I've not taken a ruler to the reservoir, but IIRC ours is much bigger than 46mm in diameter. So..... am I barking up the wrong...

Hi All, Mate of mine looking for a runner with MOT (or MOTable). He's a capable mechanic, so many things are no problem to him. Anyone know this car he's seen on eBay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180703605185 cheers, Bri.

As the title says ....... budget air tools in Aldi on Sunday. Bri.

Hi All, It occurred to me while checking eBay that many items are listed with their part numbers from the manufacturer rather than the Rover part number. Does anyone on the forum have copies of catalogues that are available in either electronic or paper copies that could be shared/scanned? A...

Hi All, I'm a bit late posting, but holidays etc have been a distraction (ah sunshine, heat - not like here!!) Anyway - I got a sort of "living inheritance" from my Aunt to "spend it while she's still alive". So I bought a pair of these from CJAutos at Stoneleigh. Bl**dy hell they were heavy...

Hi All, I was at the local Rover meet at the Lilacs Pub in Kettering on Tuesday and picked up a entry form for their National Rally. They'd like to have some other Rovers present, and as I don't want to be the only P6 there, perhaps some of you would like to come ??? It's going to be held on...

Hi All, If you've been reading the Events section on the Malvern show on Sunday, you'll know that I've been discussing the purchase of a new toy, well today, Tina finally arrived home! She's a 1965 TR4 in Wedgewood Blue. Doesn't she look lovely :D How happy can a man look ...

Hi All, Pilkie and I are meeting up at the Malvern Classic Car Show and Spring Spares Day on the 18th April. It's a great day out for the "Carnut" as they fill the exhibition halls with auto-jumblers for a really good rummage - and not much of the market traders either, a proper auto-jumble...

All, I was chatting tonight with "Pilkies Classic Carnuts" and Forum member Dave Roan (Bigmoose on here) when he popped round to sort through some of his P6 stash that I'm storing for him. We were talking about seating capacity and what we are insured for. We were sure that it would say...

Hi All, I've been offered a pair of ball joints and apparently they're stamped with "011126A" Does anyone recognise this number? Or is driving over and looking at them going to be the only way to recognise them. Thanks, Brian.

Hi All, Does anyone have a genuine Rover boot mount wheel cover for the 165 wheel in good condition that they'd be happy to part with please. Thanks, Brian.

I was just looking through my parts books for the rear suspension (books are published in 1969 for the 2000, and 1979 for the 2200) and there are different parts numbers listed for the: Trailing arm bushes Shock absorbers etc Are they all different but interchangeable, or is there some aspect...

Hi All, I've had my 12 months with Practical Classics and I've just canceled my subscription ....... so that I can restart it and claim another free gift :D Last time I subscribed I got the Draper 40 piece ¼" square drive socket set - lovely piece of kit (sorry if you think it's cheese...

I had to do the dutiful thing and visit my folks for a few days just after Christmas, they live in Telford, so I gave Mark and Angie Gray (Editor and Chairman of the Rover P6 Club) a telephone call that I'd be passing Wolverhampton on my way through and would the kettle be on for a spot of Rover...

Hi All, In the past when tinkering and tuning my HS8 carburettors, I've never paid any attention to the fast idle / choke settings. they've always "just worked", often a bit lumpy, often needing to warm up on the drive rather than on the road, but non the less, they worked. I've just finished...

Hi All, I've failed to understand the concept of the lost motion linkage on the HS carburettors. I know what it is, I know how to set it, I know that the result is that the rear carburettor will open before the front carburettor and that at full throttle, the rear carb is fully open, and the...

Hi All, I want to take one of my spare S2 clocks (round dials dash) apart so that I can get at the cogs and fathom out why it keeps stopping. I've cured most of my clocks but this one's baffling me at the moment and I need better access. I can't get the fingers off, I've tried prising, pulling...
