Blockbuster by The Sweet for my one. Good job it wasn't several months later in 1973 - Gary Glitter at no.1! :shock:

Don't risk cracking the screen if the rubber is shot and you plan to replace it. Get a nice sharp Stanley knife and cut the front face of the rubber away from the screen to make removal less fraught.

I would personally avoid. There is no way on earth these will look straight and crisp if stuck over the existing vinyl. Plus the existing vinyl has a sewn horizontal line near the top of the trim that would be absent. I had 2 new rear cards made up in plywood, upholstered in the original vinyl...

I thought it was so you could get your fingers in to retrieve the rad drain plug when you unscrew it and it drops into the deepest recesses of the front valance. :shock:

I have pondered the same question as I have lost my garage and the old girl has sat outside since mid 2012. There are a couple of minor paint peelers that need sorting but nothing major as I did fully overhaul the old girl. I have owned her over 20 years and if I let her go there is a risk that...

The re-build of the house needs to be completed first. Unfortunately cost is a factor - I am looking to build a triple garage 70m sq.

1973 Rover P6 seeks dry garage in the Chelmsford, Essex area for companionship, whilst his master gets the old, leaky garage demolished and the new one up. Might be needed for a year or two. RSVP. :mrgreen:

A nice car, but it has recently suffered from the dreaded clutch slave cylinder failure! The slave cylinder on the 75 is located within the gearbox bellhousing, which means major surgery - n/s suspension leg off, subframe down and gearbox drained and dropped down. A nice man from the 75 forum...

Following the birth of our first son, Elliot, in March this year, my Mrs has now commandeered the company car (Merc C220 CDTi) to ferry the little man around, given this has the Isofix seat fixings in the rear. At the weekend, I picked up a genuine 60,000 mile diesel Rover 75 Classic on a 06...

It is possible that the pin worked its way out from one side and then not being supported both ends, moved at an angle, jamming the actuation lever. I had this happen to me but it didn't break the pump. It was cured by getting a new pin made up with a circlip groove each end. The factory...

Ron has the holy grail! The thing is that many of the chrome covers and innards are in a fine condition, so it is just the outer rubber seal that is needed, not the whole unit. I will drop a line to Mark Gray to see if he would consider manufacturing a run of these seals.

The rubber seal between rear number plate light unit and bumper - "Rockin' 'orse shyte, mate!"

I certainly would be interested to hear more from Vaultsman as to how much difference he believes the uprated bar has made.

Thanks guys. A clean up and a very small top up of fluid was all that was needed. Now I just need to sort out the non functioning fuel and temp gauge and the lack of IGN and OIL warning lights when the key is turned to the 2nd position. Oh and the non functioning clock...
