    From the buyers guide: "On cars with power steering the wiper motor can work only when it wants to, while starting problems ...." :confused: Where is the coherence?

    "How-To"-section anyone?

    Guten Morgen This is still bothering me: Is nobody interested in establishing a "How-To"-section anymore? :( I can not find the appropriate thread(s) anymore, but I think it would be worth the efford, as so many things are repeated, and some are hard to find when needed. Seems to me that we...

    RAF-P6s?

    Guten Tag Yesterday somebody on a supermarket parking lot smiled at Jimmy, and as I inquiered "Looks funny, don`t he" the middle-aged man answered "No, stylish is what springs to my mind". I asked further, and I was told that my dialog partner had been a driver for the RAF/Rheinarmee in the...

    The Wobbly Stick

    Guten Tag alle zusammen! I am about to getting used to Jimmy being an ongoing project. Work does never end, but neither does the fun - what a GREAT car, what a cool drive! I had the steering/front wheels aligned this week, and it did improve driveability hugely! I never noticed that one could...

    Floored by heater box

    Guten Tag everybody We spent some time trying to get the heater box working this winter AGAIN! I cannot count the number of times Rolf and I have taken it out, worked it over and put it into Jimmy again to no avail. Once we fixed one side of the darned thing there is another lever coming off...

    Sorry!

    Guten Tag zusammen! Please allow me only a short update for you, after being away from the forum for such a long time. There is not too much to tell, and I don´t feel like going into detail. We are doing very well now, but had some troubled times (Illness) and quite a bit to do (our house...

    Petrol tank ventilation? Emergency posting. Ideas please!

    Guten Morgen everybody Within a few weeks time, Jimmy has driven me to dispair and made three competent mechanics doubt their abilities. His engine has cut off after not gaining revs (due to fuel starvation), he has not started and not accelerated beyond the 2500 rpm-mark for some impressive...

    How much water can a heater box hold?

    Guten Morgen I am not about to test that on my own box, mind you! :lol: And I am aiming at something slightly different, in fact - let me put it this way: Is the heater box designed to cope with water that gets inside :?: Lets say the box is in perfect "working like new" - order. The car is...

    (Owl?) screams in British Horror films

    Hi zusammen! I am constantly http://listverse.com/ when there is no "Roverporn" to watch ( :wink: ) I have read there, I think, something about an animal that screeches at night in the British woods, and that noise is frequenty featured in British horror movies. I THINK that it was about an...

    Heater box "elbows"?

    Guten Morgen zusammen Only yesterday I discovered that I did NOT order the tubes that lead from the top level of the heater box right into the long draining tubes on either side. To be quite honest: I did NOT see them in either heater box that I posess - not in Jimmys nor the canibalized one...

    What manifold - which screws?

    Guten Tag zusammen I cannot help but feeling that my "Rover 3500 & 3500S Parts Catalogue", Part No. RTC9022B, dated September 1977, does NOT show the inlet manifold that I removed, glass bead blasted and sprayed clear :? The two that are pictured within look different from Jimmys. Whilst...

    Best plugs for LOW COMPRESSION engine?

    Guten Tag I found something on the 10.25 compression ratio engine, but not for our 8.25 (?? I did find the number stamped into the side of the block) engine. Thinking about the "hot" and "cold" plugs available for my Heinkel Tourist, I am wondering especially if the engine might benefit from...

    Serious sagging taken too lightly?

    Guten Tag zusammen Only now I have asked around a bit concerning Jimmy sagging "a bit" on the front drivers side, which we noticed when storing him in december. What I heard does not make me happy: It could be "something serious" as the upper suspension arm might push through the spring cup...

    Choke light otter switch

    Guten Tag The above switch is corroded beyond belief on Jimmy. As a result it has come apart of course, leaving me with the hull stuck in the manifold... . :shock: As I have the manifold out I have to try and get it out of there, even if I do not buy a replacement right away (How much should I...

    Guten Tag zusammen! I GOT to order parts with Geoff from WinsLtd VERY SOON, so this is just a quick inquiry before I do so: - Are there different quality manifold gaskets? - How to recognize them? - Is the dearest one the best one? - Are there differences to the two rubber seals that go under...

    Cooling hoses/manifold part(s)

    Guten Abend zusammen I tried to figure out what part I need from the Parts Catalogue or the reference section on RoverClassics, but I could not find it. Maybe I can find out this way: The flange (???) that is mounted on the rear side of the inlet manifold with two screws, where the coolant...
