[ROVERNET - UK] Foam strip in P6 heater and Rover Shirts

[Ray Wilkins]

Firtsly the shirts. I am not aware of any 'Rover'
shirts specifically. Apart from Rover Club shirts the
only other ones I know of are Aston Villa soccer (ooh
how I hate that word!) shirts as the club were
sponsored by Rover/MG. Can be found on eBay.
OK. Now for the stupid question. Which is the inlet
hose INTO the heater on the P6 (same for P6B?). The
top or bottom one? I get confused.

Regards,
Ray Wilkins
