    Fuel tank vent issue

    Ah I think I see where I've gone wrong now. I only have one pipe exiting the car next to the fuel sender where you have two. Think I might have to pull the tank out again to see where all these pipes are going because I threw it all together in an excited rush to get the car going again...

    Fuel tank vent issue

    Ok thanks Mike, I'm going to head down the workshop now for another look see. I think I may have an emissions tank as there are 2 breathers coming from the top of the tank and several hoses going all over the place. Think someone has removed the flat tank and then done something with the hoses

    Fuel tank vent issue

    Hi all, Just got the car back together after a year long restoration, everythings going well except I seem to have an issue with the fuel tank vent tubes in the boot not being right and the car is perpetually stinking of petrol when I drive it. Should have taken pictures when I took it apart, as...

    Cheap rockers and shafts from Wadhams - Any good?

    Yeh thats why I'm wary of buying any cheap parts, I've heard a lot of bad stories On the other hand I find it hard to believe JR Wadhams would be selling any substandard engine parts. I think I'll give them a call and find out who the manufacturer is, as it doesn't state on the listing

    Rover P6 with a Suffix D?

    Hey all, Can't seem to find much definitive information on this, but as far as I am aware, V8's fitted to the P6 were all Suffix A & B, whereas the one fitted to mine is a Suffix D which I thought were only fitted to Range Rovers. These are a lower compression (8.25 or something) and lower...

    SD1 Gearbox Rattle and Crunch

    Wow I wonder how many people have wrecked their gearboxes not knowing that. Cheers for the tip! Do you know any way of testing the oil pump? And how is it driven from the engine?

    SD1 Gearbox Rattle and Crunch

    Yeh it does sound like a loose metallic rattling - that's why I kind of thought it might be the 3rd or 4th syncro ring, but I dont really know much about gear boxes. Can they come loose or get broken somehow and rattle about on the shaft? It still shifts into 3rd/4th quite well, just a bit...

    SD1 Gearbox Rattle and Crunch

    Hey y'all, Looking for someone who may have some insight into the SD1 LT77 gearbox, or just gearboxes in general. Ive got a P6 with an LT77 and it's making some unusual noises in 4th gear, like a rattling tapping sound especially at lower revs. It starts under gentle load, gets louder as the...

    Faulty oil pressure gauge diagnosis

    Ah okay, I thought it would move a bit faster with the revs. I seem to remember the pressure gauge on my old Scimitar moving up and down quite quickly when you revved it, but I seem to remember a lot of things sometimes

    Faulty oil pressure gauge diagnosis

    Thanks Richard, I'll be sure to try that the next time it stops working, as the gauge is now working again and has been for a couple of days (with no help from me I might add, it just pinged back on one morning). Surely must be a wiring fault Whilst we're on the subject, what's likely to cause...

    Faulty oil pressure gauge diagnosis

    Thanks for the reply mate, Well on my way back from work today the gauge mysteriously started working again, so I think I must have a wiring fault. If it stops raining at all today I'll have a probe with the multimeter and check the wire from the sender. On the plus side changing the oil...

    Faulty oil pressure gauge diagnosis

    Hi all, New to the forum and this my first post, so please be gentle with me.... First on the list of many repairs needing carried out on my new 3500s is a faulty oil pressure gauge. The gauge was temperamental when I first got the car, then for the past couple of weeks seemed to be working...
