The chrome door lock covers on the front doors which rotate out of the way to reveal the key lock are very loose on my car they rattle about. What is it that should keep them tight and flush with the main body of the lock. Any one know a fix

When I've been bord and started messing about in ebay I've seen rover efi set ups come up for sale and wondered about fitting one to my 3500S (it already has sd1 heads). I guess it's not an easy upgrade or everyone would do it but how in depth a job is it an what would you need. Or is it just...

Can you still get folding style sunroofs fitted. Always fancied getting one fitted to my 3500S. I know the big maker back in the day was Webasto but can't find anyone that still supplies/fits them. I keep looking out for a second hand one but they don't come round very often from what I can see.

I've always had low oil presure on my gauge on my p6 3500S. As in zero when stationary after its warmed up. The oil light never comes on and I had a compression test and all is good so I am told the oil presure sender units are temperamental with age. Is it the oil presure sender unit that is...

I have an unusual issue with my seepometer in that it generally under reads by quite a bit but if you stick to the same speed for a short bit then the creeps up to what seems more accurate. Strange part is that if you dip the clutch it drops again. If you blip the accelerator with the car in...

Is the manual gearbox on the 3500S prone to leaking. I seem to have one. I've had a look but can't seem to work out where it's coming from. I can see where it's been dripping onto the exhaust. Wonder if there is a place that they do leak or a gasket that might need renewing

Has anyone replaced this with the engine in situ? Mine leaks and I read in the original workshop manual that this can be replaced without a complete strip down but I think back in the day they used a special tool. Just wondered if it was do'able and any tips for the job.

I need to replace the brake light switch but I'm struggling to find it. Sure that sounds stupid but I assumed that it would be around the pedal box but I can't see it. Also when I do replace it will I need to re bleed the brakes after or iis it just Purley in the electrical part and not part of...

Anyone have the above for sale I'm in sheffield. So happy to collect from anyone local. Just in the process of replacing my carpet set. When I have come to remove the plastic centre console all the plastic areas where it fixes to the tunnel are broken. As are the studs the retain the gear...

Can anyone tell me what other models use a diff suitable for a 3500s. Was going to look out for a good used diff to replace the one on my car which needs a rebuild

have just bought some rubber seals that go between the doors and the wings. In the original or what's left of them they are secured to the aliuminium strips which are riveted to the doors. Question is how have people fitted the new rubbers to the aliu strips. Originally they were stapled (or...

Set of 4 14x6 inch Classic Wolfrace wheels from my P6. Excellent condition with no kerbing damage. The tyres are Goodyear Eagle almost new with full depth tread. I am based in Sheffield so any viewing is welcome. £400. Any questions please feel free to ask.

I've been reading so many threads on wheel offsets pcd and various other measurements and now I'm just confused. But from what I've read I don't think they will I've been offered some wheels for my P6 v8 manual. They are a minilite style. 15 inch rim 5.5inch width. Offset et12 and a...

Just a quick hi to everyone. And thanks to those who have helped out with a number of posts I have already listed. Im a new member having just got hold of my Monza Red 3500S. So far really pleased drives beaufiful but some scope for improvement and tinkering which I like. I dont know...

On my v8 manual I have noticed a vibration through the car when I reversing up my driveway onto the road. I get a slight vibration setting off forwards too but it's much worse in reverse. Thinking it's the diff any ideas? if I twist the prop shaft how much movement should there be wondered...

Ive only recently bought my 3500S and the doors dont line up quite right. Visible by the chrome strips and swage lines not being quite right. The car was apart in the very late 80's when it was restored. I would like to have a go at getting it all right. Are there any tips or advice. I will...

My 3500S presently has some period wolfrace alloy wheels which I am not keen on at all. Been thinking of going to original steels as I have the trims already with the car. How much should I expect to pay dont suppose anyone has any near sheffield. Have been looking at alternative wheels though...

I've been thinking about a new carpet for my P6. Something nice and a little different but the more I think about colour options the more I'm driving myself round the bend. My car is a monza red V8 with black leather. The carpet is so bad it's hard to tell what the original colour was...

im looking to get a carpet set for the boot of my P6. I see most of the sets you can buy are 5 piece sets but unusually they leave some area of the boot as bare metal, like the shelf near where the battery goes and the sides into the wheel well. But Coverdale do a 10 piece set that covers all...

I've just bought my P6 3500S. One the thing is that the Rev counter does not work. It was suggested by the previous owner that it stopped working when he fitted the electronic ignition. I've not heard of this before. I don't know the brand of electronic ignition but it is the type that fits...

My car has the boot mounted spare but I'm wanting to return it to inside the boot. I've never been fond of the look. Anyone know where you can get the badge that fills the hole. It's a bit special I understand and I'm getting thd feeling quite rare.
