Good evening all, I have a petronix ignitor system replacing the points in the distributor in my 1974 3500 auto. The chap who fitted it declared the vacuum advance redundant and wound the adjuster drew shut on the dizzy. This was nearly a year ago, and the car has run OK but not as well as I...

Hi fellow enthusiasts, http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C611751 This looks pretty tasty to me, if a little expensive! Does anyone out there know the car?

In the course of trying to solve my fueling/vapour lock issues (see my previous topic), I have decided to renew my coil, ditch the points and condenser, and go for electronic ignition. I would really welcome any advice on which system/brand to go for... Thanks, John

Good evening all! Some of you will remember that I was re-united with my previously-owned 1974 almond 3500 auto two years ago. The car had developed an occasional, and then progressively more regular, running problem. Once warm and switched off for anything from 20 minutes to a couple of hours...

Greetings one and all! I need some advice please... My 1974 V8 has HIF6 carbs with AUD623 tags. Due to an irritating and long-running problem my only option now is to replace them. I was able to buy a pair of used HIF6's cheaply on ebay and want to have these stripped and renovated as necessary...

Greetings P6ers! Has anyone out there got any info on the latest crime against humanity by the BBC on the set of Eastenders? In addition to the usual lamentable acting and abuse of the English language, the producers have just spent over £1 million on writing off a Rover P6 and not even...

Help Guys!! I recently had my V8 auto rolling-road tuned. My replacement carb (due to another previous problem) was found to have been, at some point in the past sealed with silicone. This suddenly caused major running issues (maybe brought on by the workout on the rolling road), and the carb...

Good evening all, I need some advice... About ten years ago I purchased a brand new boxed Unipart 18ACR alternator. My local Unipart outlet sold me various goodies which were obviously languishing on their shelves. Now I have my V8 back, I felt maybe I should fit it even though the current one...

Hi everyone Just thought some of you may be interested to see some pictures of that 3500S which I sold four years ago precipitating my temporary absence from the P6 world! She was completely restored by the previous owner at JP Restorations, and he spent a small fortune. I further improved the...

Greetings Rover enthusiasts! I got into Rover P6's back in 2000 owning about ten different cars until stupidly selling the last of them, a beautiful 3500S, in 2008 to by a Jaguar! The Jag has gone, and I'm desperate to get behind the wheel of a P6 again! The car I most regret selling, to buy...
