just ordered one, thanks for the Tip. Much appreciated

thanks very much, very helpful

I am just considering putting an MP3 radio in my P6 and I know it doesn't have a speaker in the centre console. The car is at home and I was just wondering is anyone knew off top of their head whether it was a single 4" , 5" or 6" round speaker that goes in there?? Thanks in advance

Totally agree about the film, really well shot and acted, despite the odd speed hump getting into view it all looked very period. The DS is used to brilliant effect yet I left wanting an Alvis TD saloon!!!

Thanks Michael, the dodgy one wasnt old and it would run perfectly 'sometimes' and then suddenly misbehave. I now have 2 spare ones in glove box, just waiting on the recon dynamo now but be mobile again by the weekend. There was a similar problem with rotor arms a while ago I think....

it was actually the condensor, swapped that and problem vanished. Not that it really help as dynamo failed on way into goodwood on second day.......

thanks Harvey, will have a look at that tomorrow, had never thought of that as a problem so better rule it out.

Thanks Phil, will have a look at that, have cleaned carb and going to see if I can replicate the fault this evening, fingers crossed I can't!! Last year he lent it to me with a similar fault and it expired in the single lane bit of the A3 at Hindhead when the LT wire in the dizzy broke, so keen...

Just collected my dads car for my annual pilgrimage to Goodwood and he advised it has developed an odd misfire. I drove 70 miles in it on A1 A14 and runs like a swiss watch but apperently when he tries to pick it up off a long coast into say a roundabout it stutters and misses before picking up...

Nick, It has the 120mph speedo as far as I recall, the interior light is in the base of the rearview mirrow and the funny little maplights under the dash....shes a real nice old girl and I am very lucky to be able to borrow her, fill her with chums and do 500 mostly motorway miles before giving...

Been there the last three years at least in it so very possibly the one you saw Nick, Thanks for the nice comments, we think she's great as all so original and ever so slightly different being an early S1

I was there again in my Dads wedgewood blue 65 car again, uneventful 500 miles apart from the low tension wire in the dizzy breaking going over the hogs back on the thursday night which was popular, fixed it with my leatherman in about 30 seconds so not too long a queue!! I saw a mustard v8 on...

thanks for the tip, if I cannot get a cap then that will be the way forward. should not have the problem with the air cleaner on a right hooker!!

My Dads early P6 (dunlop brakes) is suffering from a disintegrating reservoir cap, I know these things are not being remade does anyone have a nos one or a good used one they would sell?

thanks for the compliments guys, 96k from new and all original, drove it Nottingham to Newmarket, then to Goodwood and back in the day, then back to nottingham, all in a weekend. never a moments fuss and over 30mpg. Bet the blast did her good!! We were there Saturday so missed you guys on the...

Anyone on here go? We did but only saw one other p6 in the pre 66 car park, this one is mine (well my dads but we can't get 4 6 footers in a healey so I borrowed it)

Agree about the handling against an MX5, I borrowed my girlfriends MGTF to do an MGCC trackday and as they were oversubscribed was slotted into the MX5 group, mine was a bog standard girlie can and the mX5's were all tricked up but the MG was way faster through the turns carrying much more...

There was an article on the Pheonix four consortium and someone had done a 'demise of rover' timeline across the top of the page. The picture of the P6 was accompanied by the comment that this was once decribed as 'the worst new car for sale in Britain'. There was no source ascribed for the...

I bought a 75 diesel tourer new in 2001 and had it chipped to 135bhp, done 190,000 in it, had a new battery and thats all, apart from tyres pads and discs. Original exhaust, clutch etc etc. found it more economical and more reliable than the two audis I had before it. Still does over 40mpg...

Anyone on here own the white p6 I followed between milton and fenstanston last night? I was in my healey 3000 and saw this p6 come down the slip then accelerate away, I was going quite quickly and had to get on the gas to maintain contact. Must have been a v8 and in pretty good order the small...

thanks colin, park lights work correctly on the switch but need the ignition on, suppose i had better have a look under the switch panel to see what is going on. Dads car is warly so has one switch for park/side and a second one for fog/head. possibly with two switches to turn the lights off...

sorted the flashers, poor connection. Fuse box is wired as per the wiring diagaram. Was just wondering, should the parking lights work when the ignition key is turned to the anti clockwise position? If so I bet the ignition barrell has been re wired possibly to stop a previous owner from...

I borrowed my dads wedgewood blue 1965 s1 to take to the Goodwood revival meeting and have actually been running around in it ever since. i have noticed a couple of odd electrical issues. Firstly the flash function doesn't work, I am assuming it is a contact issue in the stalk which should be...

Thanks, sounds like lots of fun, no wonder the local garages won't touch it!
