Was out in the wet this morning - probably a first for me and the car. Found some water in the boot on return, and with a bit of contortion found it coming off the bottom of the filler grommet. Anybody have any wisdom relating to work in this area please? Will I need to remove the rear deck...

I have an SD1 oil pump pick up now, and it has a brace on it, meant to bolt to a stud on main cap #4. Interesting part is that the P6B engines dont have any sort of brace, and neither do the later Disco 3.9 engines - have one on a stand. Anybody have any idea why the SD1 might have needed a...

Are the rear bumper irons slotted in any fashion to allow me to move the bumper more clear of the valance please? Pic says the irons are not....if they are original - they are part of local tow bar fitted. I suppose the worst it could mean is I remove the whole thing and drill new holes. thanks

Can anybody suggest a way to improve tatty/torn boot lining plastic please? I have replaced the cardboard panel covering the fuel tank with textured ABS, which I think looks pretty good, but the ragged bits of thin plastic on the sidewalls is not attractive. thanks

In measuring the two big ends I have exposed in the 3.9L block I find a discrepancy in the manuals. In the P6B manual for crank pins I see metric specs of 50.800 to 50.812 given in inches as 2.000 to 2.0005 - using 25.4 a calculator gives 2.000472. In the later Discovery manual it gives the same...

Can anybody who knows, or has the sump off an SD1 advise how far below the block face the oil inlet is please? This pic shows a Melling pickup is 5" below the block face. The SD1 sump I have is 5.75" deep at the pick up point, which might make for bad news if oil surges a lot. thanks

Has anybody tried this - cant see anything in search. thanks

Can somebody advise what thread is used on the bolts that fix the badge to front of p4 bonnet please? Dia ~3/16, thread 30 or 32 tpi (they are bit second hand). thanks

There is a thread on Triumphexp (LT-77 Gear change retainer : TR7 & TR8 Forum : The Triumph Experience) about 3d printing a better engineered lever retainer. They have now tested a couple of variants, and I have put my name down for one. If anybody else would like one, you might check out the...

If these will fit a P6 hub, am after a pair please. Preferable already in Oz... And now I would like an SD1 oil pickup please. ERC1585 and ERC1587 steady bracket also would be bonus! thanks

Anybody able to give size of part that goes into the hub please? Surely these are not a screw in item, as shown here..https://picclick.co.uk/Rover-Sd1-Front-Wheel-Hub-Grease-Cap-282381865762.html Are they CRC289? thanks

Apologies if this is old news. Looking at diagram on sheet 5 of 86.00.01 in AKM3621, for RHD Chassis D 3500, and chassis C 3500S, S2. In the key both 34 and 45 are listed as Ballast resistor, and 34 is adjacent the Rheostat for instrument lighting. It also implies that coil negative line goes...

I have an SD1 dizzy etc as in below pic. I have a plan to get the dizzy to fit and pick up the P6B oil pump drive. In exploring if anything else is needed I have some questions. Of the two leads that come out of the separate module, one has a black trace - Coil negative? Other lead - coil...

Have posted this before, but no answers. On the offside HIF6 carb there is a part shown 607800, listed as a bush for RH carb.When I carefully watch how well the RH carb spindle moves with the LH spindle there is some obvious lost motion at this bush before the spindle moves. Was wondering if...

Has anybody looked at this possibility? The viscous fan on P6B has 13 blades, the hole in the radiator cowling is 460mm dia. The Fan I have (Discovery) is 435mm dia, 11 blades, but they are quite a bit wider than the P6B viscous fan.. On the viscous coupling the assembly is 70mm deep. The...

Hints please...many seem to have some danger of damage to the block.

Getting ducks in a row before I start on my 3.9 rebuild, have some cam questions. I have heard that a 3.9 cam was a good upgrade for a 3.5, having some timing advance, but have not found any information to back that up. The original cams until at least the SD1 had timings of inlet 30BTDC-75ABDC...

I have a plastic tube from the spare LT77 - 6-7mm dia, 30-35mm long , 25+mm of it is open on one side, as though its meant to pick up oil spray and feed it out through the hollow end. Dont have my exploded diagram here now, and Rimmers diagrams arent good enough to show it... Anybody know where...

Have been stewing on this years now, ever since we started watching QI. Re Alan D - is it my ears, or is his name being pronounced 'Dav-iss' , despite being spelled 'Davies', which we (Strines) would pronounce 'Dav-ees'? Or something in between? Is it normal to pronounce both these spellings...

Is it a fair bet that as the overhaul kits are the same part no (605164) that these 2 m/cyls are the same, despite being different part nos - GEC307 vs 560105 (Girling type)? Or maybe GEC303 for the 4 cyl? Both 7/8" bore?

Mine lets in lots of air noise, verified with the strip-of-paper test - open the vent , lace a strip of paper between the glass and the seal, close the vent, see how easily the paper slides through the gap - very easily up the rear edge. I can force the glass in closer to the seal by hand, but...
