    Manifold fuel/air flow

    Just replaced a set of plugs in my 3500s to cure a misfire. Noticed that plugs 4,6,1,7 were sooted. This hints to me that one of my carbs is either a bit rich, or the choke might be not coming fully off on that carb. Question is... Which carb feeds those 4 cylinders? Also can anyone point...

    Oil filter

    Since the intermaweb is SUCH a convenience for us classic lovers - I'm hoping to find much of my servicing stuff out there on Ebay - where very often, postage is much cheaper than my usual suppliers. My query is about oil filters for the V8. One on Ebay is listed as for the Land Rover Disco V8...

    wipers halt half way (sometimes)!

    Partly because I don't want to wait for the post, and partly for the satisfaction of using my lathe to make something ... can anybody supply a tech diagram, or dimensions of the selector rod bushes fitted to a 3500s gearbox? :D

    New clutch in 3500s V8

    Hi I'm considering changing the clutch in my "new" 1972 P6 myself. While I've gone to the trouble of dropping the gearbox etc. what other things could I quickly and simply replace / renew? I'm thinking: engine mounts gearbox rubber mounts (are there any?) any oil seals - gearbox/ crankshaft...

    Fell into this marque!

    Hello all - please allow me an introduction. I'm Chris and live in north Wiltshire with my understanding and tolerant car-widow, Caroline. I have a newly acquired P6, intended to be my every day transport, and it's all her fault. A few months ago, she sent me a link for a ropy looking Hillman...
