Congratulations to all the organising committee - a fantastic day of Rovers and owners - much enjoyed by yours truly and Mrs Yours truly. Very well done :D :D :D Apologies for submitting this twice I have severe slow broad band .... :roll:

View of my set up from a Land Rover, even adapted the L R mounting bracket. System works well, new 15lb rad cap - no fluid loss over 12 months and easy to see fluid level when cap removed (when engine cold obviously)

Rich - congratulations and very well done. :D

Ron I have always thought you were right ! :D

Electronic Ignition You do not mention in above post what model you have , 4 cylinder or 8 ? I can only comment on my experience of trying to go "pointless" on my own car. I "trial" fitted a electronic ignition kit to my early (suffix A) 3500S with the early type (triangular)base plate within...

Series 1 = Still before my time Nick, but a very nice momento to have if your car - as yours was - supplied by GF I regret that mine was supplied to Father by Henlys - you cannot win them all ! :(

Nick - what a lovely bit of history ! That advertisement was pre my time at the establishment, and only Rover mentioned - assumes the Austin/Morris & Land Rover franchises came later. The Rover Car Company sponsored the excellent exhaust extraction system in the workshop, there was a Rover...

I forgot to add a correction to the initial post. To my knowledge Gavin Fairfax Ltd never held a Jaguar dealership, although we did work on them. Dealership was "ROVER, Land Rover, Triumph, Morris & Austin"

Mandb, Hi Martin, Yes as Nick Dunning so rightly says the site where Gavin Fairfax Ltd once stood was developed some years ago, I cannot tell you exactly when, but it was a VERY valuable site for some property developer to exploit, being situated next to Virginia Water railway station (the rear...

That would be gold if it was on video Jim, :lol: I bet you could tell a few yarns as a result........ Bye the bye is there a masonic handshake to get a pic posted on here now, I`m glad you managed to get your moggie pic uploaded but an hour earlier I was refused...... :?: It seems new server...

How I agree with you Ron.. My girl is from The Labrador Rescue Trust previous owners wanted rid once the puppy stage had passed and she was fully grown. My constant loyal companion and loves stretching out across the back seats of my 3500S (on her own seat protecting rug of course !) Tried...

I dont know about Rover dealership networks or import quantities etc but my ex-company shipping agent in Madras had a P6 2000 auto, which with it being an auto and I think it was air conditioned , it always seemed very sluggish. It was a pleasant change from seeing the millions of Hindustan...

Engineering company explanation = they have nil stock - price to deter purchasers until stocks arrive - keeps e.Bay listing "live" I guess. There has to be a less confusing way of saying "we have run out of these ".....please wait until price returns to normal :lol: :lol: :lol:

No such problems with the Huco pump, flow rate is 1/2 as much again as the Facet I had fitted to a Rangie I owned a few years ago !

Happy Birthday Dave :)

That is great news, I was under the same impression as you Chris, my top link bushes have been grunting for a few years now, dont seem to have got much worse since I first started to hear them after cornering round Silverstones` GP circuit on the 1998 Guardian RAC Classic Rally, have a picture...

Never had a problem with them. Usually fairly robustly grip the pulley in the jaws a vice (fit soft jaws if you have them), hand support the alternator then a smart smack with a copper/hide Thor type hammer, I have never had to resort to applying a bit of heat to the the pulley ( oxy or blow...

Glen, JRW have the LH (595740)in stock - not cheap at £110 GBP, there is no mention of RH (595741) on their stock lists - so you would be best advised to give them a ring to find out availability. https://www.jrwadhams.co.uk/index.asp

As an informative programme by channel 5 its an absolute waste of time, devoid of any obvious expertise, showed nothing worthwhile "actually" being done by people in the programme, and as for doing the paint job before sorting the mechanicals - just showed what they do not know about...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yes Dave - just what I did - well. to be truthful - I made a drawing of my companys one from the tool board and got a friendly machine shop to make it (was doing a lot of "homers" in those days!!!)- the steel used was not quite up to Churchill standards so it showing signs of...

I use DOT 4 Mintex in all my vehicles now including the P6, refilled with this when I resealed all the brakes a few years ago, I change it every couple of years too.
