Hi all,

I need recommendations for my P5 PAS system ( power steering ) What shall I
use for fluid?
While I am at it have most been using type F for the transmission?

Thanks
Dirk

They have 2.
The gaiter end one should have a spot right on the end of the outer tube.
Digital photograph perhaps?

Subject: [ROVERNET - UK] de dion oil seal

i've taken apart the de dion tube to change the gaitor and the seals but
find only one seal on the non gaitor end...........is this correct
.........i look in the book and it calls for 2  but the gaitor end doesn't
have a space for one.........only the brass sleeve and a flat
cover........unlike the cupped cover on the other end...............the
brass sleeve seems to have room for a seal inside the tube but the seals i
have are too big for this ......only fit the offside

Puzzled

Hi all,

We'll I'm about to take the plunge and rebuild the tired old motor on my '70
3500S.  Actually I'm going to have someone else rebuild it, but decided
to save a lot of money and remove and reinstall it myself.   I would
appreciate helpful tips from many of the Rovernetters who have infinitely
more wisdom and experience than I.   I have a fair amount of mechanical
skill, but not necessarily experience-----READ----I've never pulled an
engine (but have rebuilt the master cylinder/brake servo, the de Dion tube,
and the carbs)......so................

1) Since the transmission has been rebuilt, is it advisable to place a jack
under it and unbolt the engine to remove it, or is it easier to pull the
engine and tranny and then separate them for the engine rebuild?

2) How much 'stuff' should I remove, before pulling the engine (e.g.,
obviously the bonnet, I'm assuming the radiator.....but what about any other
bits.......I do have the complete shop manuals and will be studying them,
but often advice on the Rovernet is much more precise).

Any help in advance would be appreciated.

It looks like a straight original car.
Pull up the driver's carpet though, there may be rust there.
It needs lots of cleaning up, and I agree the door rust is the major issue.
