Thank you very much for your replies. @mikecoombs : Thanls for your reply, cristal clear, in fact I quite like the idea of sourcing a manual closest a possible to the year of the car too and I did spot a couple of these on internet in the meantime. Searching catalog instead of manual did help...

Thank you! However I am after a parts catalog, I already have a workshop manual. "Parts Manual" was probably inadequate

Good day to all, I am willing to purchase a parts manual that applies to my early LHD 1964 model, either paper or pdf. All I can find on Internet is a 1977 publication "ROVER 2000 Illustrated Car Parts List Sep 1974 #RTC9021" Can someone help me by confirming which edition is suitable please? I...

Thanks Dak for your reply

Hello, It's been a long time since visiting the forum... I am now motivated again to put my Serie 1 from Aug 1964 on the road. One item I need to source, may be you have?, is the solenoid for the starter motor. I know Christmas was yesterday, still... trying my luck! Thanks Marc

I am back! and just started a specific post in the Electrics section. However reading again Dimitris "how to " reply, I realize I yet have to check is there is power reaching the solenoid with the test lamp before calling it a late solenoid

Hi, It's been a long long time since I last posted on this great forum. Due to lock down and the shark's tooth being garaged too far away from home, 2020 has been year of no progress. Still, motivation is here and I encountered last weekend the following problem : With a new battery in place and...

Thanks Dimitris, very clear.

This coming saturday, I will try again starting the engine...(Now I have a workshop manual, it helps:)) Just wanted to check the approach : Since it did not start at the turn of the key, I plan to connect the battery with jump leads directly on to the starter motor to bypass the solenoid. (HT...

The horn on this car delivers only the discreet sound whatever the switch position. I will change this with one like this from a Citroën DS to Demetris point!

Well spotted!:oops: Probably of secondary concern right now but definitely requires changing if only I can find one at some point

This one on the left

Good idea, thanks! Just to be clear on the polarity question : neither solenoid nor starter motor are polarized, right? In other words, If I get it wrong on polarity, this would not prevent starting the engine ("only" the dynamo may not like it as I understand it)

Oops, I meant "town and country" (must be because I live in town...)

Thanks for the trick but mine is a manual gearbox Marc

Same here! I tried switching the "home and country" lever but this makes no difference to the horn sound :confused:

Hello Demetris. Yes that's what I'll do, but I need someone with me for this which I did not have yesterday :( I was actually thinking of testing power on the starter motor contacts, but starting with the solenoid is best.

Hello, some news in the new year : 1. steering box and ball joints : managed to split the ball joints at both ends but the other one is definitely not accessible with the fork model (mr task is right!!). I wonder if there is chance to get away with this ball joint by unscrewing the linkage next...

Hi Chris Thanks for the proposal. Would you like to let me know the details on a PM? (and also keen on the airbox...)

Not yet removed alas.... I wonder if I have to remove this main nut on the box in place to ease the removal from the ball joints

I definitely need to procure a workshop manual and a parts manual.... I see most manuals for sale on internet are for 66 and later. Is it worth it or should I absolutely strive for "early models" manuals?

Steering box unbolted Then the ball joints are stuck Replacement Box ready but first remove the one in place… Found this loose in the engine compartment beneath the Steeering Box, I suppose it’s a forgotten fixing bracket of some kind, looks like an adjustment screw, any ideas ?

Yesterday was a mishap : Travelled all the way from home to my garage where the P6 is sheltered with a key target in mind for the day : start that engine... First I was able to ascertain the polarity thanks to all good comments received here. So it is wired as negative earth with CB contact on...

Hello, At some point I will need to get new tyres and I looking at the Michelin XAS... Probably on the dear side but I guess are top quality and correct for period (launched in 72)

Hello, I am also after this book and found on eBay both from James Taylor a paperback version 2012 cover shows a red (V8 I think) right side a hardback version 1993 cover shows a yellow TC from the front I am not sure which one to pick though...
