I Have just completely rebuilt my front suspension new springs top and bottom ball joints. Quite a difficult job but where there's a will there's a way. On my Rover P6 2000 SC 1970.

I have parts for Rover P6, these are original parts; 2 x Boot Badges 3500, one in excellent condition the has a mark on the front; Indicator Stalks 54320842, Horn, High Beam & Dip Stalk 39614A. A large number of interior door handles amongst other stuff. If you are interested in any of these parts get intouch via the forum or jillianpreston@hotmail.co.uk.

Lost a res. full of brake fluid in a coulpe of days of non-use, seems to come from front left & rear, does this sound like a major job, or some seals rotted, unable to inspect. Topped up & pumped a bit & o.k. to get me to get more brake fluid. I live in hemel hempstead if anyone know of a competent garage nearby. thanks

There is surface rust on the steering arms, but a wire brush will sort that out. The paint job on the rear wing and rear O/S door isnt too bad but a fine polishing paste and a buffer will sort that out too. Overall I'm happy with it and even on a fairly cold morning with full choke it started first time. The steering is a bit heavy though, any ideas?

One more thing, about 3 or 4 weeks ago I was coming back from Bridgewater and a red p6 was turning right. The dates a bit vague, but was it you by any chance?

It's my first p6, but not my first classic. Late 90s I had a ford consul, after that hillman super minx, ford anglia 105E super, mk1 Cortina then the last one I had was another 365 consul hi line. In between that I had a suzuki gt500 twin.

Hello jp28 - I understand you have fitted SD1 alloy wheels. Please can you confirm if the P6 front hub dust caps can be used. I understood the SD1 rubber dust cap is required given the diameter of the hole at the centre. Previously, when fitting SD1 wheel trims, I had to trim down the height of P6 dust caps to permit fitting.
Much appreciated,

Simon

I was, but I've sourced a NOS one now. Haven't test fitted it yet, but it should be the right type

the old girl had her annual birthday test and boats a new MOT! hurrah. performed well until I picked dit up after test..started and ran O for 1 min then well down on power .no acceleration .choke made little difference. getting slowly up to speed got a couple of backfires via exhaust and bit of black smoke. after 4-5 mins driving it suddenly found its 'legs' and started driving normally.sheesh .

Hello all. I think I must have a stuck clutch. The clutch was new last April, but has been standing over winter, and now won't go into gear. I tried jumping it with foot on pedal and brake then starting in gear. But nothing still stuck. Tried warming the engine up and depressing pedal with a length of wood and leaving for a while, still nothing.. Does anyone have any other ideas please..

Steve - did you see my post today (21.1) on the front brake flexi hose fitting - are you able to comment on this. I have begged, stole and borrowed time this weekend to fix this but as usual the little details cause the most time - much appreciated, Simon
