    Why is the V8 not faster?

    Thanks chaps, the whole linkage is very baggy but I'll start with that one. Cheers Edit - Sorry Paul, I still can't find it listed, could you post a link please, unless this is what I'm after? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-P6-THRO ... 0780643900

    Why is the V8 not faster?

    Had a quick look (it's pouring down) and there is play at the pedal. I've had a look in the manual though and I can't find mention of bushes and can't see them listed as a spares, anyone help out. Also I suppose I need to check at the carbs to check the butterfly's are opening fully.

    Why is the V8 not faster?

    Why is the V8 not faster?

    Hi, I've only had my car a couple of weeks, I really like the feeling of wafting along and I'm not complaining at all but I thought that with such a big V8 engine that it would be faster with quicker acceleration. I don't know much about engine set up but I know the V8 is used on other...

    Rear Seat Belt Fitting

    Hi all, I've just bought my first P6 today and my first job will be to fit rear belts for the kids. The seller said that the fittings are all there and from reading this thread it sounds like they are. Are the securon's the best belts to go for and if anyone's got any pics that would be...
