Hi All, Some ne'er-do-well has vandalised my beloved P6 and snapped off both my wing mirrors and stolen them. I am looking for some serviceable replacements. They were the chrome type that mount toward the front of the wings and not up near the doors. If anyone has some spare then please...

Hi. Could someone point me in the direction of a good 'how to' guide for bodywork repairs. I have tried TV shows like car sos but they always seem to gloss over so much. My Rover is starting to look sorry for herself with cracking/flaking paintwork on the bonnet and rust holes in the wings. I...

I just spotted two Rover P6 Estates on the M5 near Worcester. Anyone in here? They looked fantastic. Someone should be very proud. Photo to follow later.

So I've decided it's time for some much needed maintenance on my 2000SC. I'm still on a steep gradient on my mechanics learning curve so I thought I'd ask a bit of advice. There has been a lot of brake squeal recently so I stripped off the brake pads and discovered the anti-squeal shims and...

Hi All, Since I had my P6 the front near side suspension has occasionally creaked. Recently however it has been creaking all the time and is infuriating! I suspect it might be a bush which has perished away. Having never taken a panel off a car before, I took the wing off yesterday (which was a...

Hello All, As money has been tight recently, my other half forced me to get rid of one of my cars. After much thought as to whether to sell my P6 or my Mondeo, I have decided to keep my P6, and got rid of the Mondeo. The other half thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am, but i'm sure most of you here...

Hello All, I am buying my first house with my girlfriend and therefore am having to sell my beloved P6. It is a 1973 Rover 2000 SC in Cameron Green with 75,300 on the clock. It has recently passed it's MOT (MOT until 1/8/13) without needing any work done, although it did get an advisory on a...

Hi All, My girlfriend and I are buying our first home together and as a result I am having to consider selling my beloved 1973 Rover 2000 SC in order to raise funds for the moving van, furniture, solicitors costs etc. I wanted to ask you for a fair valuation before I make a decision whether to...

Hi All, My P6 is coming up for its MOT at the end of the month and I was wondering if anybody could give me a few pointers as to what to check over before it goes in for its test. Thanks in advance, Dayle

Hi All, Just in case anyone is interested I have seen a K reg Rover 3500 S manual at a scrapyard in Bedfordshire. The bloke tells me that the engine and gearbox have been sold and that he is going to break the rest up later in the week. I bought the gearstick, sills, rear lenses, and indicator...

Hi All, I have a P6 that was first registered in 1973 and a friend tells me that it might be worth checking the date of manufacture, as the tax exempt status is for cars manufactured before 1st Jan 1973, and not first registered before that date. Does anybody know how I can check the date of...

Hello Everyone, Yesterday I became the new owner of a 1973 Rover 2000 SC with 71,000 on the clock. This is my first classic Rover and I bought it on a bit of a whim, but I have always loved the look of them and I think I’m going to love this car. The condition seems fair for the price I paid...
