Hi all, I'm on the final stretch to get my car to a mechanic to finally get it back on the road. However the problem I keep running into is not having something that will support the gearbox. So this is a super desperate request - and I am obviously willing to pay - for a gearbox mount from...

Hi all, Currently planning on getting my 3500S back on the road with a handy gearbox swap to an LT77, but I'm missing one part that I need and one that isn't so vital. I desperately need a gearbox support plate from an SD1, but cannot find one online for love nor money. The other part I...

I'm going to cut straight to it - I ruined the standard gearbox in my 3500S. It started making some alarming noises a few weeks back so I knew it was coming and one hot getaway from a standstill just tore it up. My P6 is currently out of use. I've been trying to find some information about...

Hi all, My friend thinks she spotted a P6 driving down Stanley Hill in Amersham at around 18:40 this evening. Was this you? If so, give me a shout! :D I understand this is INCREDIBLY vague, but I figured I'd try anyway. Thanks!

Hi all, The other day, when turning the interior lights on from inside the car, the knob split in half. After this, I noticed there is also a three-pronged version of this knob which (I believe) is commonly used as a headlight switch (easier to feel in the dark). MGBD Parts are charging £10...

Hey all, I noticed my 3500S actually has a 3500 badge on one of its wings (I have a feeling the panel was replaced after a crash at some point, but the part must have come from an automatic model). I was wondering if someone had a series 2 3500S badge for a wing knocking around somewhere and...

My father pointed out to me that the turn signals on Brol are a bit slow. The hazard warning lights are fine, but the turn signals stay on for 2x or 3x the time they are off... If that makes sense. We thought it could be the battery so we charged it up but that didn't help. Has anyone else had...

Hi everyone! So the 3500S I'm picking up tomorrow is currently sort of suffering from a fuel starvation issue, as far as I can tell. The replacement electric fuel pump (because the mechanical one completely died) isn't providing enough fuel to the engine when in use for long periods. My...

Hi! I have some SD1 alloys on my P6 and... well, they're in need of some TLC. I don't know where to start, however. I know I can spray paint them, but only after cleaning them up and applying some special alloy primer. Is this correct? Anyone got any handy tips when I eventually get round to...

Hi all, As was always the plan, I'm going to be leaving my P6 on the drive during the week and commuting via the London Underground. The car will most likely be used at the weekends and on the occasional Tesco trip in the evening during the week. However I don't want to leave it open to the...

Quick question: does anyone know the original wheel sizes on the 3500S? I'm buying one with SD1 wheels on it at the moment (with some decent 195/70 tyres) and I was wondering what the dimensions of the original wheels are, just so I can look around at tyres, different wheels and other stuff...

Hello all, I'll be short and sweet with this: I'm a 21-year-old looking to buy my second ever car. I was originally looking at a 4x4 but a friend is selling his 3500S, so I figured I'd grab that off him instead. I'm still waiting to get paid so that I can buy the car, but it's pretty much a...
