Thanks Harvey The garage owner has fetched my vehicle this morning,so i have asked him to check and see if he can repair the indicator .They will let me know once the car is finished,as there are other things that i have asked them to check as well. Will let you know,once i get her back again.

Thanks Harvey I will forward accordingly.I have been tellling them that i think there is something else causing the speedo to keep failing, but it seems that the mech knows better than me , so everytime it fails i send back to him at his cost.I think they have now realised the i am right ,and...

Thanks for the tips will forward them on as my car is going back to the garage that did the fittingof the speedo (twice Before).The speedo cable, once disconnected turns quite freely , even by hand,however i will have them look at both.(as they should've done). In terms of the float chambers...

I would like to know if there is any detailed drawing regarding the speedo drive gear available,as on the original part the shaft had twisted and broke.I have this machined 3 times as per the original , but after a few kms it breaks again.How is it installed in the gearbox housing and is there...

Hi all I have tried to locate the contact no.,but to no avail, however browsing on gumtree (google it and then type rover & southafrica) i found another 2 series 1 vehicle in good nick . The black one in particular is in immaculate condition and is going for R35 K, the blue on is going for...

Hi there I found this "convertible" p6 while browsing, for R29 K. In addition to this the person has also included an old parts car which i originally sold for R5k.

thanks will have a look.

Having had another chat to my mech it seems that the speedo end is ok.He had disconnected both ends and tested the cable, by turning it.The speedo would then work fine. This indicates that the gearbox side is at fault.How big an excersize is it to rectify this,and does the gearbox need to be...

Does any one pehaps have a detailed diagram of the dashboard & speedo items.The reason for my request,is as follows.I have had my mech look at the speedo cable, thinking it had snapped on my last run.He has said to me that is all ok,however the speedo still does not work.According to my mech...

Hi there Have you thought about the thermostat , it may need replacing as this can affect the reading.

Hi Phil I removed the fuel filter and blew through it .There was a no. of small sandlike deposits,put it back and then took her for a run.As my speedo cable had snapped,i decides to drive her a around 4500 rpm (thinking that the engine would rally be working here) for around 30kms.I think this...

ron thanks for you help.I am taking my rover in today to replace thespeedo cable and will ask my mech to check through your suggestions as well . Will let you know in due course if it solves the problem.

As far as I am aware my car has two SU carbs.In terms of the coil i havent tried this,but would this not have an effect if the car was idling? as she idles smoothly wth no missing.The diaphragm i am refering to is where the carb would bolt on to the main block,as it was leaking originally.I will...

In terms of the bowels, this has crossed my mind,so i had spoken to the guy who helped me(he had worked for rover in their workshop when they were in SA,and is around 70 years of age.He had also worked my mates mg midget,who was extrememly satisfied with the work.he had indicated that the bowels...

Hi there If i pull off then i can accelerate to around 80 - 100kms/h ,for around 10 - kms, and then she starts to hesitate (jerk) as if there is no fuel.You can here that the pump is running and pumping strong enough.I then take my foot off the accelelrator a little so that the bowels ( i assume...

Hi ron When i bought the car one of the diaphragms needed replacing .this was done with the correct part,and i also had the carbs balanced and set.The car drove better but still had the same surge.I then filled the car as Phil had mentioned as well and it seemed that all was well until the tank...

Hi Phil Have you manaed to find the culprit.I have exactly the same problem.I have also had my fuel system checked,as well as the carbs reset,but to no avail.I have also replaced the fuel pump from 0.25bar,to a 0.5bar. My car drives ok for a while and then starts to surge( fuel starvation) .i...

Chris thanks for the info. when you drive a round 100km/h she suddenly loses power as if she has fuel starvation.This results in having to stop until the bowel is full, and then pulling off again.If you keep it below this speed then she seems ok.I have a suspicion that the tank may be causing...

Hi there Can anyone tell me what the correct pressure for the fuel pump on series 2 p6 v8,should be/ As my car surges when the accelerator is applied.All the lines,carb's etc have been checked and are fine. Currently i am told the fuel pump in my car pumps at .25 bar,and this should be .5 bar.Is...

Hi there Yes they do , however having look through the workshop manual,which indicates where the chassis no. is situated i will have another look and let you know.The plate is the same as your rover's,and also the re is another plate popriverted by the radiator (this indicates the 2425) Do...
