Message-ID: <SNT101-DS2481002F597A6EC26EB5AFB5AC0@phx.gbl>
I was asked by a judge at a recent British car show event to see my tool kit. I didn't have one.
I know that my TC 2000 came with a tool kit, but did the 3500S have one too?
Thanks.

Also it is best to take out the ridge prior to removing the pistons. The pistons will then slide out easily. Otherwise persuasion with a hammer and a drive extension will be needed, right next to the crank. As a result the cankshaft may be damaged if you miss the drive extension, and you may well damage the pistons as well.

I have read in some books to take to the top edge of the top ring with a file, so ensure that it does not hit the ridge. I think you are better taking off the ridge with a ridge reamer rather than risk damage getting the pistons out and then taking to the new rings with a file.

Message-ID: <SNT101-DS13FA6C95BF7A1606125FF5B5AD0@phx.gbl>
Dear Gianluca:
At many car shows, especially at the level of Concourses d'Elegance, very well- informed and qualified judges inspect the entrants' cars parked on display on the field in various classes and allot points for a number of factors: certainly appearance and mechanical condition count a lot, but also on technical issues such as whether all the instruments function properly, lights all work, and whether they are equipped with spare tire, jack, tool kit and other equipment that came with the car originally.
Cars with the largest number of points in their respective classes are awarded trophies.
I have lost points for not having all my lights working (back-up lights needed an inhibitor switch which I now have), one directional signal was out due to a dead bulb, and no jack or tool kit.
At other car shows, trophies are awarded to the cars that are the most popular with the public. They are not judged by a panel of judges at all.
Hope this answers your questions.
Best regards
Albert

An example of this type of balloting happened at our Club T-MG car show this past weekend. The MGA that took 3rd place in the MGA class, won the peoples choice award. It is a very ncie car, but it does not have bumpers, does have a roll bar and a big red racing stripe down the center (the car is white). So, from a hot rod point of view the public liked it. Peoples Choice, ballots are by just casual vistors observing the show. Participants vote for the other class awards and best of show. My 74 MGB won 1st place in the Chrome bumper MGB class, (it really shows well), but a 1955 MGTF won best of show.
I had a breakdown on the way to Bend, about 13 miles short of my destination. I had some difficulty troubleshooting it, but finally found a bad rotor. It was shorting the entire hi voltage ignition to ground. Apparently many of the newer rotors are made of very inferior plastic and will break down. MOSS Motors carries three different rotors for the MGB, one Lucas, One after market and one superior. The superior is $11 where the other two are about $4. The exxtra $7 is better than standing along a very busy hiway for two hours with a thunderstorm coming. Just though that I would mention that you should probably carry a rotor in your travel spares kit. I wasted about six hours of troubshooting for a three minute fix, because I didn't have the reight tools along (timing light for one). I now have a spare timing light, thanks to the local Harbor Freight store, for $24 with a 20% discount coupon. I do not like to grab the plug wires to check for spark. I was carrying a spare fuel pump and a spare distributor, but not a rotor. I do now!

Yes the North american 3500S cars at least that came to canada came with a tool kit...vynal pouch with slots for specific tools ...then a wrap tie to close it up. I have the one that came with my car and actually I thought the one Albert purchased had one that was with it as well...but perhaps I recall wrong:)..

Hi Albert.
My 3500S came with a tool roll but according to the book it is not complete......The tool roll is listed in the part manual as part # 367480 and it comes with 5 wrenches and 1 spark plug wrench ,tommy bar for the spark plug wrench ,dual purpose screwdriver, and a tire guage.......Mine doesn't have the screwdriver or tire guage .........The tool roll looks a better quality leather than my 2000TC , but neither actually have Rover insignias or anything so who knows.....What the judge should look at is whether the tools were any good in the first place LOL........Now i know someone will tell me they are for roadside repairs ..not garage items
Cheers

I have never been able to undo a wheel nut with a factory wheel brace...
I carry my own tools.
On spares carrying, I only carry known weak points, like fuel pumps in P4s.

Hi Ed, hope all is well. I'm off to see a guy on thurs who has these NOS
magstars, I hope to persuade him to sell a few sets. I have at this stage no
idea what he wants for them. Would you be interested in a set if I can get
them at the right price of course?

Did my first oil change yesterday on my rebuilt 2000 to 2200 engine.
The edges have been mangled on the drain plug on the right hand side
by the clutch slave, so I had to use the plug on the left rear of the
sump by the bellhousing.
The edges of this plug are not in great shape either.
Does anyone know the type and size of thread these are, and if I can
find and fit a plug from NAPA or other jobber.

HI Roy
First off, the plug on the right hand side by the slave cylinder is not the drain. The other is. No harm in opening the right hand one, but the sump will not completely drain.
You won't get one from your NAPA store. But I, or someone else on the list, will surely be able to offer you a couple of good used ones to make it all pretty. I'm here in BC, anybody closer to Roy?
Yours
Vern

Hi Vern.
Ok, slightly confused now.
My maintenance manual shows the one on the right side of the engine,
under the oil filter, as being the drain plug. If it isn't, then what
is it for?

HI Roy
I just checked, and you are right. So I'm confused too. Perhaps I've gone dotty in my old age. I've got a disassembled engine up at my sister's place, I'll check out a sump tonight.
As for why two plugs, I always wondered if one was originally going to be an oil level sensor, like on the P5 3 litre. It seems to me that one goes into the sump proper and the other opens up into a weir.
Yours

That sounds like a great tip!
1. Use Vice-Grips or an easy-out to remove the OEM plug.
2. Locate a plug at a car parts place or a plumbing store, online, etc, that has
a smaller diameter, a known thread size
3. Drill and tap the OEM brass sump plug for the replacement plug.
Sounds good

The righthand plug opens into the pickup area between the sheet metal de-aerators, while the left hand plug opens into the extreme back corner of the sump, directly below the substantial passage that drains the oil delivered to the valvegear.
So either plug works fine, and I probably made my own rule up years ago as I typically raise the car a little to drain the oil and the back corner makes more sense when you do it that way.

My Percy Grangers old 6 light 47 P2 16.
The body and loads of parts for the 47 SS P2 16.
What else?

Subject: [RoverAustralia] Crank shaft problems
I dropped the big end caps off tonight and all was going OK untill I got to number 4. The journals seemed surprisingly good with little to no visable wear but I think that the reason for this is that the journals have been tricked up with some sort of hardened coating. The journal on number four has a deep ring running all around it on the flywheel end and a lesser ring resembling a crack all around on the timing end. The deeper groove has the edge chipped off as shown in the photo and the surface of the journal is full of surface cracks. I wounder if the crank has had some sort of hard metal applied and this journal wasn't prepared properly resulting in the damage as shown in the photo. In any case I think I,m up for another crank. I will have a closed inspection when I get the crank out.
Regards Steve.

You could also work on the existing plug with a file or angle gringer to create a new smaller hexagon head for a smaller wrench. But then that is what a machinist might do! Files are a wonderful tool, used properly.

I would think that a P6 sump plug would be about the easiest thing on
the planet to replace. Were they made of unobtainium and uniquely

I heard rumours about two in a paddock somewhere in the hills area
behind Perth. Then two of the W.A. Rover club members spoke about them
at a club night, said they had seen them, even gave me some photos. The
rest was a case of tracking the owner down going to see them and as he
wanted to burn them and turn them into flower pots I bought them on the
spot!!!
As said one of them is in a super condition needs new trim and few
weeks work on tidying up. The blue and silver paint, body and chrome are
all fine. No idea what the engine will be like, it's all there never
tried to get it running.
The other car is not in such a good condition. It has a Holden red motor
( 186 I think) body panels are fine but paint is shot. Trim is all gone
however lots of spares in the boot.
The other Rover Australia list uses yahoo and is easy to send in photos,
I dont know how to on this one otherwise Id send in more photos of the
cars.

The other Rover Australia list uses yahoo and is easy to send in photos,
I dont know how to on this one otherwise Id send in more photos of the
cars.
Den Gallacher
</SNIP>
Method 1:
Go to this page:
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rover_net/
1. Enter your Yahoo ID and password
2. Click on "Photos"
3. Follow the directions to set up your own photo section name
4. Post photos
Method 2:
Go to this page:
http://photobucket.com/
1. Follow the directions to set up an account
2. Follow the directions to post pictures
Suggestion:
Method 1 is preferable as a person can set an "Album Name" (owner's name?) thus
making other photos by the same person easier to find.
Hope that helps.

Those are gearbox plugs, but I believe the thread is the same. The hex is smaller than the engine sump plugs.

Thanks Stewart,

Any information you have names contact details ect will be most helpful.

Mor?ning All.
Dont be to quick in dumping that crank Steve marvellous what these engine rebuilders can get up to now a day. I may be able to help in big end bearings when you get a bit more info such as size and so on.
On a personnel note. AFTER LOTS OF PHONE CALLS AND DRIVING AROUND I HAVE JUST FOUND A 34 RICHARDS BODY 14.?? .It?s all complete and tucked up in a shed with a nice coat of house paint to keep it warm and damp free. I will be going to take some photos of it tomorrow so stay tuned for the next episode?
As a quick calculation and Just to make Jim move to W.A .let?s see what we now have over here.
The 1904 at the museum.
Tom Saggers 20s something
I have a Richards?s body 34 12hp.
Martin has a 34 10? (The one with the apple tree instead of an engine)
This 34 14 I just found.
Marks 35 14(?)
My 36 Speed 14-streamline coupe.
Martin 37 and 39 P2
My 46 Tourer with the chasse now finished and off for the body and paint next week.
My Percy Grangers old 6 light 47 P2 16.
The body and loads of parts for the 47 SS P2 16.
What else?

I dropped the big end caps off tonight and all was going OK untill I got to number 4. The journals seemed surprisingly good with little to no visable wear but I think that the reason for this is that the journals have been tricked up with some sort of hardened coating. The journal on number four has a deep ring running all around it on the flywheel end and a lesser ring resembling a crack all around on the timing end. The deeper groove has the edge chipped off as shown in the photo and the surface of the journal is full of surface cracks. I wounder if the crank has had some sort of hard metal applied and this journal wasn't prepared properly resulting in the damage as shown in the photo. In any case I think I,m up for another crank. I will have a closed inspection when I get the crank out.
Regards Steve.

1. Enter your Yahoo ID and password

3. Follow the directions to set up your own photo section name
4. Post photos

Method 1 is preferable as a person can set an "Album Name" (owner's

Morning Richard,
The West Australian Rover club has been given a huge amount of post 60s
Rover parts. Doors wings boot lids trim lots and lots of parts. Mostly
second hand however untill we get in there and sort we won't know what
there is.
Send me your contact details ( den at aachenkennels.com) Soon as we have a
list I'll pass it along.
BTW I'm also on the search for any Pre WWII NOS.

James,
Filing only takes a few minutes with a sharp file. I was trying to suggest a way of removing the plug without totally destroying it and possibly being able to continue using it. I was working on the assumption that they were scarce because of the thread profile.

Hi Eric, Thanks for the tips. Just set up a photo album on the yahoo
site as you suggest in option 1.
Thanks again.
Den.
Method 1:
Go to this page:
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rover_net/
1. Enter your Yahoo ID and password
2. Click on "Photos"
3. Follow the directions to set up your own photo section name
4. Post photos
Method 2:
Go to this page:
http://photobucket.com/
1. Follow the directions to set up an account
2. Follow the directions to post pictures
Suggestion:
Method 1 is preferable as a person can set an "Album Name" (owner's
name?) thus
making other photos by the same person easier to find.
Hope that helps.

Seeing as two switches are involved, I'd make sure the bulb isn't just burned out first. If you unscrew the brake fluid reservoir cap and rest it on a cloth (to soak up the brake fluid), then turn the ignition on, the brake warning lamp should glow.

You can sometimes repair the brake fluid reservoir switch, by dismantling it carefully, and cleaning the contacts. Once of the contacts will tarnish up, as there is always some electrical potential present, which is causing a slow electrolytic reaction with the brake fluid. Change the contacts around periodically you can stop this from happening. Also the cork float will disintegrate over time. You can find a replacement in any good bottle of wine. You can use either a synthetic cork or a real cork it does not really matter. Open the bottle of wine. Cut the cork down to fit the float, install the cork. Then drink the wine afterwards. Do not drink before installing the cork, you may not finish the job off if you do. Do not use cheap wine, it will not taste good!
James.

I am trying to locate a set of big end and main bearings preferably in the US for my Rover 2000 TC. A potential supplier who has some NOS, has asked for the Vandervell or AE bearing numbers. Someone out there must have a book with these numbers in them? If anyone has a set of bearings then that would be great as well.

My federal dual circuit car has just developed a loud squeaking when
stepping on the brakes.
The sound intensifies the harder I press on the brake pedal.
I was having the exact same sound every now and again while selecting
gears, but it would go away after depressing the clutch and
reselecting the gear.
Occasionally it would take several attempts at reselecting a gear.
I will check for a rock in the brakes and if a brake is stuck on, but
could this also be caused by air in the system affecting the clutch?

I would say squealing when the clutch is depressed points to the clutch
release bearing (Gearbox out job I'm afraid)
Air in the hydraulic system won't cause noise like that. My first check if I
were you is to see if you have worn down you pads. Especially with the
intensity varying with foot pressure.
Cheers,
Steven

Hi Steven.
When I had the car in to the restoration shop last year, I had new
brake pads installed front and rear in fully rebuilt calipers.
New, meaning never used in the original box, bought by the previous
owner in about 1986.
The shop rebuilt the front calipers, and I had rebuilt rear calipers
supplied by All British Cars in Vancouver.
As the car has only driven 300 miles since the rebuild, I am fairly
confident it is not worn pads.
When the engine was out, everything forward of the gearbox was
checked, and parts replaced as needed.
I am not sure if they removed the withdrawal race housing to check the
release bearing, but the sound goes away when clutch depressed.
Regarding the gears, the sound occurs occasionally when a gear is
selected and the clutch is released. Depressing the clutch and
reselecting a gear makes the sound go away.
What other things should I see if it's the release bearing?
Is it still a good idea to run the car up to speed and slam on the
brakes to see if the brakes will stop squeaking?

It's not unknown for disc brakes to suffer from squeal, but normally only
under no or light load. If its under those conditions you can mitigate that
by pulling the pads, smearing some copper grease on the back of the pads
(The surface the piston presses on) and re assembling them. If its a case of
squealing when used, I would check for loose bolts on the caliper mounts
(unlikely) or that the cover isn't interfering with the disc somehow.

Thanks Steven.
Yes the brakes were making noise when driving slowly so with light load.
I called my restoration shop, and they stated the brake pads can get
glazed "if not used enough". They suggested I remove the pads and
roughen them up.
Regarding the noise with gear change they though that sounded like the
clutch might be dry from not enough use, and suggested I drive the car
more.
Not sure if this is the case or not, but I'll take any excuse I can to
drive the car more.... Honey, we have to take the Rover, The clutch
needs to be used!

Thanks to all who responded to my message about my P5 gearbox. I've been
awaiting further information from the shop and, unfortunately, I got it.
While the basic shifting problems were solved by a new lever from Pierre,
4th gear and synchro are shot and broken respectively, necessitating a
rebuild. The gearbox won't stay in 4th gear. The distributor, too, is too
worn to adjust.
So, if anyone can help me, given this new information, please let me know.
A P4 gearbox would be okay, too.
Gordon.

Subject: [Rovernet ] Loud squeaking. Brakes or clutch?

Perhaps not worn, but I'll bet you have squealing front brakes. This is a continual problem with P6 (actually, almost all Girling cars from the period, Volvo's drove us nuts as well), and funnily enough the very next Roverview, out in a week or two, has tech articles on the rebuilding the dual circuit master cylinder and the front calipers, along with some handy tips to fend off the squeal.
I suspect you haven't bedded the pads well enough in this case, and they are a bit glazed. Try this: get up to 60 mph or so on a road without traffic and do a very hard stop, as hard as you dare without locking the brakes. Don't come to a complete stop, though. Release the brakes at about 10 mph and drive away. Drive for a minute or so, then repeat. Do that four times and see if the squeal is gone.
Even of it does work, the squeal will return. That's when the bag of tricks come out ;-)
Yours
Vern

Hi Gordon
I have a standard gear box here, its from a 1960 P4-100 and I have a distributor from a P5 Mk1A. The problem is I'm probably so far away from you it would be to costly to ship the gear box, also it would need to be checked over before installation. I removed the top some time ago and at least one roller ball fell inside. Not a major problem but would have to be found first. I'm located on Prince Edward Island Canada.
Cheers Ben (irishrover)

Hi Gordon,
Wouldn't 4th gear and synchro parts be the same as Land Rover?

Go to www.advanceddistributors.com to have your distributor rebuilt. He specializes in Lucas distributors and really knows what he is doing. He has a form on his web site that you print off to send in with your distributor asking what engine, mods, etc. that you have and he will re-curve your distributor for the engine specs and today's crappy gas formulations. There is a phone number also to discuss whether he has the appropriate parts for yours. Mush less than a new one (if available) and he can also rebuild a vacuum advance unit. Very good resource. He is located in Minnesota.

Subject: Re: [Rovernet ] P5 Gearbox Wanted
Thanks to all who responded to my message about my P5 gearbox. I've been
awaiting further information from the shop and, unfortunately, I got it.
While the basic shifting problems were solved by a new lever from Pierre,
4th gear and synchro are shot and broken respectively, necessitating a
rebuild. ?The gearbox won't stay in 4th gear. ?The distributor, too, is too
worn to adjust.
So, if anyone can help me, given this new information, please let me know.
A P4 gearbox would be okay, too.
Gordon.

Rudiger,
Martin sold his car near the end of April 2010.
He does not appear to be continuing as a Rovernet member (not appeared in a
search for that name).
His car was sold to someone else but the new name does not appear as a member of
the RCCC.
Hope that helps.

It was a white Series 1 Rover that he advertised for?sale on our Club website
I can't find any records?in our data that shows that he had anything other than
a white Rover.
Sorry, I can't help you more. I don't even know why?he left.

Hi James,
Verdervell numbers are VP91116 for rods and VP91206 for mains(these are
the numbers off the boxes). Unfortunately all I have are undersized
(.010 and .030 rods and .020 mains).
Roverunderly,

Message-ID: <F98F7AC9-BBF8-45C6-B328-A8E4BE89D367@telusplanet.net>
My 70 TC still seems to be losing oil through the rear top of the box.
As mentioned before, oil seems to be leaking at the top rear of the
gearbox, and the selector shafts have oil on them.
The sides of the gearbox are damp and dirty, but very little oil drips
to the ground.
Every time I check the fluid level, it's fine.
I am still thinking that the box must have been overfilled.
I may drain the gear box and refill it to be sure the level is right.
Any recommendations on the type of oil I should be using? Are there
any additives I should try?

You set the level by filling up to the filler hole, so it is very hard to
overfill them.
It is possible your selector seals are non existant.

It is also possible that this is actually a engine leak over the bellhousing. Either the cam cover gasket or the (more expensive) seal between the block and the head could leak and cause this, though I would expect a drip or two at least.

The block-to-head seal produces a leak at the back of the block which drips
off the bellhousing.
Have had that one!

Thanks for the insight guys.
I will get under the car sometime this week to look for evidence of an
engine leak.
One thing I have noticed, is that the gearbox oil is fairly dark.
I have been told it should remain clear, so first off, I think I will
be changing the gearbox oil.
So, it looks like I will have to start thinking about pulling the
engine and gearbox.
Are there gasket sets available for this gearbox, or do I need to
start looking around for a replacement...

gaskets are available, the gear box has three of them I believe. If the leaking oil is dark, that points towards the engine as the source.

Well, good news and bad news.
Good news is, after mopping up some of the caked on grime, I had a
better look at the box.
The front of the box is dry, and the oil is definitely leaking at the
back.
Oil has been distributed around the rear of the box and tunnel around
the joint with the prop shaft, so it looks like it is the rear main
seal.
I think it was mentioned that this could be replaced on the car
without having to remove the gearbox.
Please feel free to post the procedure if you have done this.
In trying to change the gearbox oil, the plug was securely fastened
and all I can do is round the edges, so unable to do this at this time.

It can be.
Take the back off the gearbox, after disconnecting propshaft and removing
gearbox mount.
Remove yoke (which is a pest to loosen) then 10 or so 7/16 nuts from memory.

"Take the back off the gearbox, after disconnecting propshaft and
removing gearbox mount.
Remove yoke (which is a pest to loosen) then 10 or so 7/16 nuts from
memory."
In the "other forum" it was suggested that the seal could be done in-
situ by probably removing an exhaust section to get the prop out, then
removing the rear flange, prising out the seal, and installing the new
one.
The pictures in the workshop and parts manuals aren't that helpful. Is
the seal held in place inside the speedometer drive housing or does it
sit inside a hole on the outside of the housing?

I seem to remember that the seal on that shaft is a lip seal with the cast
rubber into metal style press fitted from the outside of the housing to the
inner, usually while the speedo?drive housing is lying flat on a workbench.
Then, using rubber grease on the seal, the housing is offered up to the main
gearbox and gently fitted on the the box with a paper gasket (bought or hand
made from gasket paper). I always thought a smear of Hylomar on both sides of
that paper gasket was good to hold the thing in place and ensured a tight
oil-proof seal. If you are planning the re and re of the speedo housing?"in
situ", adaptation will have to occur based upon the advice given on the Rover
Fourm, this Mailing List, and any experienced Rover enthusiast with whom you
have talked.

The back of the gearbox is the speedo drive housing, and it has the seal.
Taking it off is not that hard (the propshaft is harder) and means you can
work on it on a bench, not under the car in the tunnel.

Not a Rover,obviously but information could be of interest to someone. I
was just told there is a Humber Super Snipe Saloon, complete ; even has
hubcaps, in a junkyard in Tampa Florida.It is a You Pick It place; I am not
sure if they will remove parts or how cooperative they will be. Those places
usually will not sell whole cars; but contact them. It is
LKQ Self Service Auto Parts
5109 Causeway Blvd
Tampa Fl. 813 247 1889.
Contact them. I am in Ft. Lauderdale on the East Coast; they are on the
West coast. I do not go there.

Hello All,
A good friend in the UK has been entered into a classic car challenge for
1940s car of the year. It is determined by online voting and is the only
Rover entered for pre war through the 1980s. I would appreciate it if you
would consider voting for the Guy Worrall's P3 by going to www.ccoty.co.uk
and going to the voting section and vote for Guy's car. It really is a great
car and I drove it in June to the RSR national so I can say without a doubt
is one of the great ones.
Thank you and Happy Rovering
Dirk

Hi to all,
I have had a set of SD1 alloys on my P6B for about five years. I've decided
to go back to traditional 'Rostyle look-alike' trims. <Applause> She is my
daily driver.
The problem is that I am not sure whether the wheel nuts holding the alloys
on are compatible with my old steel rims. I cannot for the life of me
remember what I have done with the wheel nuts from the traditional rims.
The SD1 wheel nuts have a flat face that buts up against the wheel rim, and
that does not seem right when the wheel rim has a dished indentation that
seems to require a nut with a curved end.
A fellow member of the local Rover tribe has lent me some wheel nuts that he
believes are for a Series 2 P6B; they have a rounded face that appears to be
a more likely fit against the dish in the metal wheel rim.
I was rather hoping that a learned member might be able to help with an
international wheel nut code, so that I can make enquiries of local
specialist retailers.
I have taken photos if anyone has specific knowledge and might be able to
look at the nuts for me.

PS Eric- I can fly over to pick them up if I don't have to go over the
Capilano Suspension Bridge!

Yes, sorry about that. Was it the middle of the bridge when you siad that
heights were not your "cup of tea".? You were such a gentleman.?"Yes, Captain
Blackbeard, I'll try this bit of wood stuck out over the side of the ship....."
Wheel nuts you ask...... mmmmm.... you are trying to get wheel nuts to fit
.....what sized stud?? Is that in inches or mm?
This would be for Rostyle chromed pressed steel wheels?
Any pictures to help?

that does not seem right when the wheel rim has a dished indentation that
seems to require a nut with a curved end.
A fellow member of the local Rover tribe has lent me some wheel nuts that he
believes are for a Series 2 P6B; they have a rounded face that appears to be
a more likely fit against the dish in the metal wheel rim.?
I was rather hoping that a learned member might be able to help with an
international wheel nut code, so that I can make enquiries of local
specialist retailers.
I have taken photos if anyone has specific knowledge and might be able to
look at the nuts for me.

PS Eric- I can fly over to pick them up if I don't have to go over the
Capilano Suspension Bridge!

You definetley need the tapered end to proberly secure the wheels.
Ian Wilson at Rover Classics in England offers stainless wheel nuts
which are IMO an improvement over the chromed steel variety supplied
when the car was new. Not cheap but they'll never rust

Wadhams has sump plugs for 4 pounds (about 10 dollars I think). It would not cost much to post across the channel. I just noticed that he had some today when I was looking on his website, and I recall that the question had been asked on Rovernet recently.

Hello to all again,
A friend here in Perth Western Australia has offered me the gutter trims off
his donor P6B.
I have prised a set off another car, but buckled one badly.
Any advice about the means of gently taking the trim off with a view to its
re-use would be greatly appreciated.
Have sorted out the earlier problem regarding wheel nuts - found the right
ones.
Many thanks
Peter Mitchell
PS: Eric, the Capilano Suspension Bridge was not that bad, it is just
unnerving walking on a seemingly unstable surface, even though the same
motion in a light aircraft would be quite natural.

Hello to all again,
A friend here in Perth Western Australia has offered me the gutter trims off
his donor P6B.
I have prised a set off another car, but buckled one badly.
I have successfully taken off one trim by lubricating it along its length,
then gently tapping with a block of softwood at one end.
Is this the accepted solution? Any advice greatly appreciated.

One is bent. Can these be replaced or straightened, or am I now on the

As, I am leaving for a week in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, I will not be able to scout things out for anyone until after Sept. 8th. Geoff. living in Portland gets first crack at it of course. This info was sent to me by my good friend Paul Rollins, another car nut.

It is the only way. Technically the strip should be able to be popped off, but I have never managed to do it without either buckling the strip or bending it to the point it wouldn't go back on.

Just straighten it out. You can remove the bit to better work on it, but make a mark so you can replace in the same position.
As for the lug nuts, no specs are available but I tighten my lug nuts to 90 ftlb.

James -
Surely we must have some decent ones around down here in Syracuse with more in Western Mass and perhaps Boston.
I'll have a look and if you're down this way you might want to survey our spare parts inventory. I think we're only 60 miles apart these days.

Hi, all.....
The Rovernet was apparently down from August 25. Thanks to Roy, who contacted me, I sent a test message, myself, to find that it, also, had not appeared in the archives.
I sent a support request to our web host technical support. Within minutes he had spotted my email, reset the website "Control Panel" and the list seems to be working again. Much appreciated monitoring and contact of me by Roy, and outstanding support from our webhost : JustHost.com

Only a curiosiry.
DAIMLER V8 250 RED
Much better than jag 2.4 and so on.
The same was for Daimler 4.5, with less problems than Jag 4.2 straight
six.
A Daimler majerstic Major remainmed for years in a barn nearby garda
Lake, and was often seen there by a friend of registro italiano Rover.
Berst regards, GR.

Subject: [Rovernet ] P5 seat leathers
Message-ID: <12D6D14A074EDA4CB9DA24918BECEB44FE5C24@winserver1.xitinc.com>
I'm looking for a set of red used front seat leathers for my '65 P5 Mk
IIc. Mine are cracked and torn in a few places. With the cost of new
leathers, if I can't find a set of used, I'll have to recover the seats
in cloth.
Thanks!

After much delay due to essential house repairs and modifications, preparations for a holiday, I have posted pictures I took at Dirk's RoveAmerica 2010 meet in June just passed.
Due to the quantity of pictures I took the liberty of leaving many photos out of this collection. I hope the result is acceptable.

David,
Some GOOD shops can replace just the panels that are bad and re-dye them to match the others.

Subject: [Rovernet ] Question for Electrical Gurus
Message-ID: <SNT101-DS1166603D69F497BCECC7DDB58B0@phx.gbl>
When I turned on the A/C of my 1970 Rover 3500S in 95 degree weather, all I got was a blast of hot air. No cool air. What's more, the directional signals ceased working.
I drove some distance and the outside temp went down about 10 degrees. I tried the A/C again, and it worked! And the directional signals also worked.
Do both functions use the same fuse or electrical circuits?
Why would both these functions be so sensitive to the outside temperatures, unless it was pure coincidence?
Thanks.
Albert

Rovers have an in-built aversion to hot weather, something to do with being
English.
I had an English router-modem (Draytek) that would shut down when the temp
reached 25C...

We could also discuss the British car built-in chassis lubrication system.
Oh,..... I think Albert wants some real help. Sorry. Hopefully, an A/C savvy person will kick in soon :-)
