Hi, I'm having some starting issues. And as the weather here has now reached sub-zero temperatures.. it's become a real problem. I already replaced the battery and starting with jump leads makes no difference, so it's my guess the starter motor is at fault. My p6 is fitted with a V8 efi from a...

The waterpump on my p6 started leaking, the shaft seal seems to be failing and there is a lot of play in the shaft. Needless to say I need a new pump, but since my car is fitted with an SD1 engine I need to make sure I get the right one. I believe in order to fit a SD1 engine in a P6 the...

I've been refurbishing my brakes, and currently I'm rebuilding the front calipers. Starting to look good! :D But I'm not sure where the copper grease should be applied, is it just between the pads and the shims? Or also on the back of the shims at the piston side?

Hi everyone, I have been hunting down the vibrations in my drivetrain, so far I have gotten my wheels balanced, refurbished the half shafts and fitted new u-joints to them (old ones were pretty stiff and rusted), changed the oil in the diff, overhauled the rear hubs (new wheel bearings)...

I'm refurbishing a set of rear calipers and I want to get them resleeved. But can't seem to remove the studs from the caliper, how should I go about removing them? The manual doesn't tell either, doesn't even list them as separate parts. p.s. I want to give them a good clean too, but since they...

My car has been fitted with SD1 wheels ever since I got it, but I would like to go for a more period look so I have been looking for a set of rostyle wheels for my p6 3500S. I have had no luck finding them, so now I'm looking for alternatives. I'm very curious if anyone here tried fitting 14"...

Hi, do all P6's have the same rear calipers? I can get my hands on a set of 1973 2200TC calipers, but need to know if they are the same as on my 1972 3500S. Thanks!

Hi The u-joints on my driveshafts (rover 3500S) are pretty worn and need to be replaced, I use my car as a daily driver and as such can't really take it out of commision. I can however get my hands on a set of driveshafts from a 2200TC. To my knowledge these are the same, am I correct...

As I'm getting to know my p6, and am improving and replacing some bits and bobs (the car hadn't been running for over 7 years when I bought it) one of the things I replaced was the thermostat as the engine wasn't getting warm enough. I fitted a 88 degree stat, but now when the engine is hot the...

Lately if I try to start the car in the rain, or some time after it has rained the engine falters, even if I rev it it's still like it doesn't fire on all cylinders. When idling the revs drop and it stalls. The engine behaves as normal after keeping it running for a few minutes. It's clearly a...

Hi everybody, As I have mentioned in the introduction topic, I've got a P6 with a SD1 fuel injected engine. The temp gauge I have isn't working properly, I thought it had to do with the fact the SD1 temp sensor is not a match with the P6 temp gauge. So I ordered a Land Rover temp sensor (part...

Hi everybody, my name is Eise and I'm from The Netherlands. I have driven a 1964 Volvo Amazon as a daily driver for 7 years, but I started to long for something with a bit more comfort and a bit more power :wink: . Then this 1972 Rover 3500S came up for sale, it has been modified and has a...
