All, I've been using the P5B a lot recently and while comfortable and reliable I have some niggles with the engine: 1. Whole car vibration at 2500 - 3000 rpm. This is no matter the gear selected and can be simulated at standstill in 'P'. The toolkit, steering wheel and my single filling start...

Certainly brightened up a gloomy walk to the pub, spotted near The Grove in Balham:

Afternoon all, Can anyone confirm the power steering belt for a 1972 P5B will be the same as on V8 P6? The former is difficult to track down but I am hoping they are exactly the same. My current belt is making the most awful racket and is past its prime. Thanks in advance,

With some trepidation I signed up to the Littlewick Show on last Bank Holiday Monday. This would be the first proper show I had taken the P5B to after a year of getting it safe & roadworthy; I was dreading a breakdown en route and rain turning the venue into a Glastonbury-esque quagmire...

Evening all, Aiming to attend this event in June, if the P5B is running. Is anyone else in attendance or able to send me (perhaps by PM) a summary of their previous experience? http://classicmotorevents.co.uk/london_brighton.html Thanks.

Evening all - and a very Merry Christmas. For those that can brave flood water, hangovers and also get their car started on Boxing Day there is a meet in Romsey for pre-1976 classics: http://www.romsey-classiccarandbikemeet.co.uk/# I intended to attend but alas His Lordship failed to start...

I've spotted this nice s2 2000 in Kew a few times but haven't ever seen the owner. Does it belong to anyone here?

Evening all - The vacuum advance on my P5B is seized and beyond repair. I've been looking at replacement units - will any an advance from any Rover V8 (land rover, 3.9 etc) fit and work within the 1972 engine specs? While the engine is running relatively smoothly once warm I am keen to bring up...

All, I had been looking for a 3500 P6 for a number of months when Frazzle posted up his recently acquired P5B in the 'Selling' section of this board. I was struck by its looks and began researching in earnest. After driving two that were for sale in London (one an ex-Government car) I was...

As my search for the right car has drawn a blank for three months, I think it's best to post here & cover all angles. Sought for weekly driver, European rallying and UK Hillclimb events: Rover P6 3500 All years considered up to and including 1975. (Don't care about tax free status - this is to...

Evening all - has anyone been to see/recognise this one? http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C286937 Price is steep but tempted to make the journey as some friends are nearby this weekend & put on a haggling smile... The search for a solid 3500 auto continues...

Evening all, Has anyone found an outdoor car cover for a P6 that has a window for the tax disk? While I have assigned parking here in dismal London, the Demons of Wandsworth have decreed I must display a parking permit and tax disk at all times. Any guidance would be very well received. I am...

Hello all, Longtime lurker but thought best to join and start posting as I now have the required funds & parking space to make the purchase! Having started with a Ford Capri and a Mercedes 190 that were enjoyable to work on; the latest Ford-era Jaguar just doesn't interest me when I open the...
