Afternoon, In this thread from 2018 there's a link to a body assembly drawing showing the P6 sill cross section. The link no longer works, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction for the source? I downloaded a PDF from the Australian Rover Club site which is a reprint of the...

When removing my driver's side glovebox to replace some broken rivets on the hinge bar, I was reminded of the poor state of my bulkhead insulation/trim panels. Driver's side is tatty with the black card/plastic cracked in several places. Passenger side is mostly absent, leaving visible bare...

https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2024-02-03/cars/ref-104-1977-rover-3500-dl/ This tidy P6 with a lot of police provenance sold for £17,070 at the weekend. What do people think of that price? It seemed to me that a lot of high-end stuff wasn't meeting reserve but under-£20k cars did...

I picked up these cufflinks on eBay. Can't find any information online about where they might have come from, other than a reference in James Taylor's book "Rover P6 The Complete Story" that a set of branded cufflinks may have been among the gifts given out at the Press Launch in October 1963...

I've broken the "trunnion" that holds the fuel reserve cable to the lever on the tap. I ordered a replacement part no. 566902 from a Land Rover parts supplier, listed as a heater cable trunnion, but its diameter is too big to fit through the hole on my fuel tap. Does anyone know where I...

As an occasional visitor to this forum, and very occasional commenter, I dip in now and again depending on how much time I have to spend on my P6, and how much is wrong with it! I've been struck by how useful a resource it is, with reliable technical advice stretching back years. I've been...

Hi all, I need a fan belt in a hurry and would prefer not to wait for mail order - does anyone know the length of belt I should be looking for for a 2000 SC with its original dynamo? It seems the subject was last discussed on the forum in 2009 and that seemed to be for alternator equipped cars...

Just took my insurance valuation photos, so thought I'd stick a few pics of my P6 in the gallery.

Hi all, This is in the electrical sub-forum because the parts I'm talking about are in the electrical bit of the Parts Manual, but aren't actually electrical... Does anyone have an image of the correct route for the windscreen washer pipe on a Series 1 2000? After a lot of faffing about with...

Hello all, I have my P6 at work for the first time, and the front passenger door won't open from either outside or inside. Something has happened to the lock mechanism - maybe affected by the hot weather? The interior lock button doesn't "snap" into place like it should, likewise when using...

Hello all, After refurbishing my tatty seats, I'm putting them back in the car, along with some new Securon 254 rear seat belts. I know there are issues with needing spacers to mount the reel to avoid the belt dragging, as well covered on this forum over the years. I have spacers of about...

Despite much searching, I'm finding it difficult to discover how to take the back rest (reclining) part off the base cushion on my front seats. In the process of cleaning, feeding and repairing a set of S1 2000 SC flat pleat leather seats and it would be easier to get into the nooks and...

Hello, When replacing the dash-top on my Series 1 2000, the foam strip between the speedo and dash top came out in 3 pieces. The foam is very brittle and not repairable. Does anyone have a source for a suitable replacement? I can't see it in the parts catalogue, and none of the usual spares...

I'm looking for some better seats to improve my newly-purchased Series 1 2000 SC. It's got buckskin leather, but the front seats in particular have seen better days, with a number of splits and tears in the leather. If anyone has decent buckskin parts, particularly driver and passenger seat...
