I'd like to import such a car in Italy, with a Triumph engine or with a rover one, but the second case could be very difficult because to enroll the car here and to have italian number plates you must take and pass a kind af examination based on a techincal data sheet and conditions of the vehicole, and if the engine is not original it would be difficult. Now, thanks again: this is a motoring history lesson. I could translate it and foreward to the friends of registro italiano rover. Best regardfs and thanks again, Gianluca. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: rovernet-bounces at rovernet.ca [mailto:rovernet-bounces at rovernet.ca] Per conto di Kent Kinard Inviato: marted? 1 giugno 2010 6.11 A: The original Rovernet ...

The Stag engine is not all alloy. It has a cast iron block as does the slant four. The Stag V8 weighs considerably more than the Rover V8 while the slant four and the Rover V8 are comparable in weight. > > There was a lot of argument about why a Rover V8 wasn't used for the > stag.

Not sure I believe > that but an interesting point. Spen King did not design the Triumph engine. He did not move to Triumph from Rover until the spring of 1968 by which time the slant four was already in production and the specification for the Stag V8 was nearly final. King did insist that the V8 be taken out to three litres. The Stag V8 was under development and in the pipeline long before the BL merger. Lewis Dawtrey's proposal for the Triumph V8 and related slant 4 was approved in 1963, predating the Rover V8 by several years. The V8 was actually designed first and the four resulted from cutting down the V8 design. Triumph received inquiries from Saab for the four cylinder version before the first engine was even built (Riccardo had contracts with both companies and arranged for them to get together. Saab had their own very similar engine running when they learned of the Triumph engine from Riccardo. Saab abandoned their engine in favor of the Triumph four.). Because Triumph received a contract from Saab to produce the slant 4, the four went into production first. The initial engines running in 1965. Since the four and V8 blocks were to be machined on the same transfer tooling, it made some sense to proceed with the Triumph V8 even after the Rover engine became a possibility. Initial plans for the Stag V8 called for 2.5 litre capacity, but torque output at that displacement was too low. Design parameters (bore spacing and crankcase space) allowed future V8 displacements up to 4 litres. There was at least one Triumph 2000/2500 shell built with the 3 litre Stag V8 for "executive" use. The Rover engine is not an easy fit in the Stag engine bay, the exhaust headers being very restrictive and the Rover engine with twin SU's is too tall. The Rover engine has also been fitted successfully to the Dolomite body. It is true that Rover V8 production was maxed out. Rover was selling every one they could build in P5B's and P6B's. The Range Rover was under development as was the P8 and both would require V8 engines. The combination of engineering changes to the Stag necessary to fit the Rover engine to the Stag and the ability to machine the Triumph V8 on existing tooling (though some changes were required) plus the limited engine production capacity at Rover, meant that cancelling the Triumph V8 was never seriously considered. The same circumstances delayed TR8 production by two to four years. Rover introduced the SD1 in 1976 and TR8 prototypes were on the road in 1974 with some being sent to the US in 1978, but the popularity of the SD1 and the Range Rover and limited engine production capacity kept the TR8 from ever achieving full production. MGB-V8 production suffered from the same lack of engine production capacity. Rover got the engines because markup on their high end models made for better profits for BL. > > That's my shillings worth. To unsubscribe to the list or change your settings go to this page.

I suppose my mind is more sieve like than I care to admit. I certainly didn't know about the V8 being first. I did know about Saab taking on the design for the 99 and 900 models though. Altgough being Swedish they turned it backwards.

The '71 Series II I'm driving we brought back to life after the previous owner went off the road and stove in the right front corner probably at more than 15 MPH. The wheel base on that side was shortened considerably and was pulled back out by the appropriate equipment at my local body shop. Some hammer and dolly work on the inner sheet metal, a new fender, hood, apron, and bumper has is back in pretty good shape. I'd be surprised if your "A" pillar is bent. And solid body shells are available as are good whole cars.

I have two problems. One is the distance from home, the second is that I doubt I have the cash to effect repairs to the car. At this point I'm considering finding someone who would like good spares vehicle as a lot of the car is in good condition. Braking system, engine is effectively brand new if it's survived the accident. Unfortunately the tree trunck was a good 24-28" diameter and looking back at the damage I may have been going nearer to 25mph. Although I must say I can't see how as I had only been moving for about 40 feet as most. Thing in other areas of my dictate that I might need tp wash my hands of the car. Even though it pains me greatly to admit it.

I note your chest pain and assume it is not just from a broken heart... Hope you won't mind a safety question for the benefit of the 'netters: **Were you wearing the shoulder belt? If so, was it an inertia reel? As an expert in safety and human impact tolerance, I would comment in advance that both types have the same potential deficiency: They allow too much torso movement. Paradoxically, the fixed, aircraft-type belt may be better, but only if VERY tight. All inertia reels are very reliable, but depend on deceleration or fast outward belt movement to trigger the lock. By that time, there is slack in the belt. (Ejection seats are the same: When you "pull the handle" the first thing that happens is that the shoulder belts reel back in very forcefully and pin you back in the seat. This is to align the spine for the 14G contemporary, and older 25G upward accel.) Contemporary cars have belt-tightening that is triggered by deceleration. This minimizes torso travel and therefore chest injury. If any of you out there are considering a new car, buy one that has the auto belts and auto headrests, etc. Geff and Julie McCarthy 677 NW Melinda Ave Portland OR 97210 503-241-8468 503-799-3809 mobile -----Original Message----- From: rovernet-bounces at rovernet.ca [mailto:rovernet-bounces at rovernet.ca] On Behalf Of Henry Manwell Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 4:44 AM To: The original Rovernet ...

The '71 Series II I'm driving we brought back to life after the previous owner went off the road and stove in the right front corner probably at more than 15 MPH.

I was driving my 69 Rover with factory seat belts, snugly buckled, and had an ET type headrest. The front of my seat tore loose and tipped into the back. The boot lid, and rear fenders were pushed in about a foot. I had no injuries or whiplash. Her insurance company Really wanted to settle before I sued. I wrote an estimate for $1,100; a lot back then, from my shop, and gave it to them.. They insisted I sign a release , that I was not injured.

The base unit is great as it is a California car and it runs fine. The panels are straight and it is more or less ready for the respray. It has the magnum wheels and the associated hubs. Interior is iffy so needs new carpeting and fabric trim. Seats are excellent. Naturally lhd with federal bumpers scoops etc etc I am thinking about parting with it but only to a good home.

I know from personal experiaence that it is a terrible feeling crashing your Rover. I had an accident coming over the sand hill in McLaren flat, about 11 years ago. I thought that the car was a write off, but the insurance company did not write it off. Took about 3 months to get fixed and back on the road. The accident was a head on crash with a late model Toyota Camry, and to add insult the injury the Camry was drive able and the Rover had to go on a tow truck. This was the 6th time that this particular Rover had been crashed, and was the second time that a new front had been welded on. They are fixable cars if you can find someone to take the job on.

It has been sitting in my garage since 2002 when an electrical fault prevented it from starting. I haven?t had the time nor the electrical skills to fix it and there is nobody in the area who will work on British vehicles. I bought the car in 1995 in Victoria B.C. and drove it back to Guelph. In 1999 it was converted to twin carbs with a noticeable improvement in power. The car is is white with a red interior. The body is sound and in good shape. The interior is clean and the leather is in good condition (I?ve treated it every year), with the exception of the tops of the rear seats, which have been sun-damaged. There is lots of tread on the tires. There is to be a local auction of antique cars on the 19th of June but I thought I would see if there is any interest among Rover enthusiasts before commiting.

Sounds like the mechanical bits are good if you can find a solid shell to transfer the parts over. I have a 74 MGB that had been in a minor accident before I bought it (right front corner). It had just the front half of the fender replaced and was a very poor job. I fought it for several years, driving it in the meantime and gradually upgrading it. Finally, I bit the bullet and took it to a frame shop for an estimate. The right side was pushed back 33 mm. I asked how much to fix it and was very pleasantly surprised that the total cost was $275, which included the laser diagnostic. The car is now within 1 mm of perfect, new fender and new paint. I have kicked myself many times for waiting so long to take it in, dreading the price. You never know unless you try!

This was cured when the booster was rebuilt. On my Rover 2000 TC I have just changed out the brake fluid to Castrol LMA, from a US Dot 3 silicone fluid. The brakes used to stick on sometimes, and I would reapply them and they would then release. I am thinking that maybe one of the rubber seals was a bit enlarged from having the incorrect brake fluid in the system. It seems to be good now, although I would like to do a bit more driving to make sure that it does not happen again.

It has been sitting in my garage since 2002 when an electrical fault prevented it from starting. I haven?t had the time nor the electrical skills to fix it and there is nobody in the area who will work on British vehicles. I bought the car in 1995 in Victoria B.C. and drove it back to Guelph. In 1999 it was converted to a TC with a noticeable improvement in power. The car is is white with a red interior. The body is sound and in good shape. The interior is clean and the leather is in good condition (I?ve treated it every year), with the exception of the tops of the rear seats, which have been sun-damaged. The tires are like new and have lots of tread. I've been asked to include it in a local auction of antique cars on the 19th of June but I thought I would see if there is any interest among other Rover enthusiasts before commiting.

Message-ID: <372988.61678.qm@web34304.mail.mud.yahoo.com> I have spent (more than a few) angry hours struggling with the Rovernet. For those on the back-up list (cover your eyes - you know the problem), I received a message from our new (I thought improved) web host JustHost.com that they had suspended the Rovernet website and the Rovernet mailing list due to a complaint from AOL.com that their (JustHost) IP address was generating SPAM. To be honest, it was not clear if a Rovernet subscriber with an AOL address had complained to AOL about an email they had received while on a volunteer-in mailing list OR AOL had picked up mailing list email (multiple receipients) to their system and decided it was SPAM. Anyway, AOL.com snapped their fingers, JustHost jumped, and Rovernet.ca was off the air with no way to contact anybody. (Gosh, I am beginning to feel like Chamberlain after the Nazis invaded Poland). "I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received and consequently this *mailing list* is at war with *AOL*." I was successfully able to appeal to JustHost after negociation and making a commitment to get AOL off their backs. I have had to click on the "Nomail" button for our AOL subscribers. I will copy this letter and send it to each of them by BCC copy. I am asking our AOL members to obtain another email address and resubscribe to the Rovernet. I am inclined to recommend Gmail. However, I pay Yahoo some money each year and they convert webmail to POP mail and I can read it on my "Outlook" or "Outlook Express" [or Mac equivalent). Anyway, if you know a Rovernet member who is also an AOL subscriber, please convey my condolences and apologies for this unprecidented step. This hasn't happened in 18 years or so. It looks like AOL subscribers cannot use their AOL address and subscribe to our mailing list. They could try to write to AOL.com if they like. However, with AOL being able to shut down complete access to the Rovernet AND the website from which it runs I can't manage that event happening again. Unbelievable!

She was watching her pennies, noted that AOL was charging her $24.95 for a dial-up account, and asked me what she could do. She is in a retirement community where the management had signed an exclusive contract with Verizon Vios where imnternet access cost the fixed-income residents over $50 per month. Mind you, she only checks her email once a week to see pictures of her grandchildren. When I take my laptop to her apartment, there are about ten wireless accounts with full bars all the way across. I told he to talk with a couple of her neighbors (or maybe six of her neighbors for all they use the net) and share one wireless account. Unfortunately, she views this as equivalent to stealing cable tv by splicing lines in the basement. So here's the AOL part. I signed her up with a local ISP for dial-up service at $5.95 per month. We canceled the AOL account but continued her email address there. She refused to get rid of the AOL email account even though she only gets email from four or five people. I installed Thunderbird to download her email since she didn't want to use a web interface and tie up her phone line. Since AOL email cannot be received as POP message, I had to set up the program to deal with AOL's IMAP mode. Of course, once this is done, AOL must have full contact with your computer via the network to see if you are editing or deleting any email messages, and it gets upset if you switch off while it is accessing your files. AOL was a fantastic innovator when it arrived on the scene. I was a charter member before anyone had heard about it because I was running the GEOS operating system on my Commodore 64. At the time, I told my wife we should buy stock in AOL because it was going to change the world, but she equates the stock market with gambling.

Message-ID: <454897.34062.qm@web34306.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message to AOL subscribers on the Rovernet. Yesterday, I wrote to explain how a complaint of SPAM from the Rovernet mailing list to an AOL subscriber or to the AOL system triggered a shut-down of the whole of the Rovernet website and Rovernet Mailing list. It is not known if an AOL subscriber complained about a Rovernet message he had already agreed to receive or the AOL system reacted to a message being part of a stream to a variety of customers. The mailing list concept is our core service. We can't afford to have AOL.com react without logic toward the Rovernet again. I have given AOL members a bit of time to change to another address. However, we can't afford another mistake where AOL receives another email from the Rovernet and shuts us down again. On our web page for the Rovernet, I have suggested some other free email services and even options for a premium service which will deliver web-based email to your POP account. That info can be found here: http://www.rovernet.ca/ This morning I thought it best to unsubscribe AOL users from the Rovernet and hope that you each rejoin with another address. If your annoyance matches mine from yesterday, we might not see you again. That would be too bad. AOL won. I hope that you will reconsider and rejoin using a non-AOL email address.

I had been with them for over 9 years and on dial up. When I finally got DSL I went with Yahoo as it was offered for free with the service. AOL said they would drop the price from $24 to $14, but I needed to pay for the dsl service to the other provider. I told them i didn't need both. The said it was too late to cancel as the billing cycle had passed for me. So I was stuck for another month, they said. I called the next month to cancel and told them so right off. He held me on the phone a long time trying to convince me. I was polite and finally told him i was cancelling. Then he told me I just missed the cycle AGAIN. He kept me on the phone just long enough for it to turn mid-night EST! I told him I wasn't falling for that and that it was the first thing out of my mouth was to cancel, so it was technically before midnight. They sure are tricky and I'am sure glad I no long pay them anything. ymmv</P> <P> </P> <P>roland<BR><BR>--- On <B>Tue, 6/8/10, Eric Russell <I><p6rovers at yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:<BR></P> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(16,16,255) 2px solid"><BR>From: Eric Russell <p6rovers at yahoo.com><BR>Subject: Re: [Rovernet ] AOL or SOL<BR>To: "The original Rovernet ..." <rovernet at rovernet.ca><BR>Date: Tuesday, June 8, 2010, 7:04 AM<BR><BR> <DIV class=plainMail>Hmm,..... very interesting read as always, Glen.<BR><BR>Yes, SOL....<BR>Standards of Learning if you are in education<BR>Seems Only Likely for SMS users<BR>Shouting Out Loud for email or Twitter folk<BR>Sons of Lucifer ........ getting closer :-)<BR><BR>Eric<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>"Always look on the bright side of life."...

I know a few people who have painted the bumpers to match the body color. This lets them blend in, much better. I know MGB's better then I do Rovers as I have three of them, but no rubber bumper models. My newest one is 1974, the last year of the chrome bumpers. The UK, rubber bumper cars were different than the US models, in that they continued to use dual SU carburetors rather than a single Zenith/Stromberg. These carburetors are the same brand as used on Rovers. They also us SU fuel pumps. The carbs are probably the HIF type, but could be HS, which are even simpler. Almost any part imaginable is readily available for an MGB. I would question the mileage, 24,000 with six owners. That is only 6,000 miles per owner. Rust areas to look for are the rocker panels, the rear lower section of the front fenders and the floors. Overdrive is a real plus. If you have to change the windscreen, it is a real chore as there are dog leg sections that you access from inside. It is not as bad as having to remove a front fender though. The windscreen has to be removed to remove a fender. Great engineering, NOT! The listing person is correct, the top does not go up or down easily as do Alfa's or Fiat's. It is usually a two person task and will take about five minutes, if you know what you are doing. They are fun to drive. The carbs can be sorted pretty easily and the door latch mechanism can be adjusted to pull the doors in a little, that he mentions. If you are serious about it, I can give you an e-mail address of a very knowledgeable MGB person in the UK.

From what I understand, you can lower them, though this may require new springs. You can also put chrome bumpers on them. In fact, you can do practically anything you can imagine with an MGB. Bearing that in mind, it really doesn't make much sense to buy an MGB that isn't configured pretty much the way you want it. If I lived in Italy or any other LHD drive country, I would never by a RHD car. At this point, I would buy a car that is basically configured the way I would want it, and then do what I want with it. You can modernize the brakes, the shocks, and the suspension, if you want to. If you haven't driven an MGB, you should drive one before you buy. They are not at all as responsive or as fast as your basic modern hatchback. I had a couple of unmodified MGBs, and then owned a 1966 Midget. The Midget was like a go kart and very exciting to drive (especially since they are death traps if you ever get hit by anything except a rusty Fiat 850 Spyder). Driving well sorted MGBs afterward, they felt like they were weighed down with lead. By comparison, it's like driving a truck. Anyway, my opinion is that any MGB that has not been heavily modified is just not that exciting to drive. If you want it for the styling, the MGB-GT is a far more attractive and practical car. Make certain you have driven a decent example of an MGB before you buy one based simply on what you might imagine. Aren't there any 124 Spyders left?

These carburetors are the same brand as used on Rovers. They also us SU fuel pumps. The carbs are probably the HIF type, but could be HS, which are even simpler. Almost any part imaginable is readily available for an MGB. I would question the mileage, 24,000 with six owners. That is only 6,000 miles per owner.

The 1974 1/2"s and 1975 were the worst. In the UK not only did they keep the dual SU's but also minimal smog equipment and a different distributor. The engines were also higher compression that the US models. So, it is difficult to compare the performance?between them.

I would like to buy one of these toys for the summer, an MG B or a Midget. Never driven one, which could be better in your opinion? I will find someone who has got it and I will try. Later will let you know. Last week I've seen one in via sabvoia, under the house of the former major. Who's the owner? RHD does not matter, I drove on the wrong side for a month in Australia and in NZ ten years ago. I can understand thet the traffic of Rome is opposite side and very, very different from Southern island's one, but at the end I live 1,2 km far from the office and I generally come by bus. I'm not a very frequent driver at the end. The one we spoke about is in my opinion very interesting. There are also some Midgets corsica blue - my favourite colour - on e bay, one with rollbar which could be useful sometimes. Slats, the address of your friend could also be useful if you want. A new adventure! Thanksd everyone and best regards, Gianluca. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: rovernet-bounces at rovernet.ca [mailto:rovernet-bounces at rovernet.ca] Per conto di roland Inviato: mercoled? 9 giugno 2010 15.11 A: The original Rovernet ...

Some very recent pics are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/fjcumberland/1971Rover2000TC02?authkey=Gv1sRgCKr0v7S9l4artgE&feat=directlink The car is running really well, and looks great.? Her center console is out because we had just changed the gearshift lever. It was a diplomatic import into DC that was bought when it was 6 months old by a Rover enthusiast in MD named Bill Kumm.? He immediately loaded it up with just about every conceivable Rover option (including Sundym windows and Delanair AC).? I bought it from him in 2002.? He refurbished it in 1999.? Original color is Mexico Brown.? The interior is the original one - it is Sandalwood.? The blue is a Chrysler color - the best way I can describe it is "Richard Petty Blue." In my opinion it suits the car very well.? I have the Heritage Certificate for it. I am culling the fleet because I am in the midst of moving from SC to Buffalo this summer.? I'm selling the Rover because all my other stuff is Mini/Landcrab/Metro - I've already sold my MG 1100 and will have my Austin 1300 estate for sale (and possibly my Radford Cooper S as well).?? Dora has been a great car, and I and my kids (especially my daughter) have enjoyed her immensely, but I want to concentrate on Minis and the Crab and Metro (yes, I have a soft spot for underappreciated BL tin.? One day I will own a Maxi.? Probably in some horrible color (though my cars tend to be blue or green . . . .). The Rover will come with some mechancial spares.? I also have a spare engine & manual box that came with her (it might be her original engine - I cannot remember, but probably can figure that out), and a 2 litre TC engine w/manual box and a 2.2L w/auto box that I bought from the UK.? I'm asking $375 ono for each of those 2 spare engines, or they can go with the car.? Cheers, Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I might be able to get them back out tonight if?someone really wants them and acts fast, but they also might already be on the truck by the time I get home.? Otherwise I'll deal with them after I move and we find a place to live. Unpacked items include a spare fuel tank and a (I believe) spare set of door window frames and mechanisms.? I did not have time to get them in the load for Buffalo.? Make me an offer - I am unlikely to move them unless someone in the NY/NE area wants them.?

Hi Glen, I don't have time. Baptist Children and Family Services just opened a new Transition Center for youth leaving state and county custody. I am trying to coordinate the related United Methodist agencies and get everyone on the same page. It is really an exciting enterprise...state and county probation, restorative justice, life skill training, foster care, family counseling, state employment offices, etc. all under one roof and working together. It is unique (so far) in the country but is supposed to be a pilot project for similar centers nation wide. Also, a member of the Triumph club is out at the shop loading up engines and cars and I'm trying to get clear with my daughter's boyfriend about which stuff is to be loaded. I've still got to pack for Fitchburg. I was going to bring a stack of "3500S" promotional license plates, but I couldn't lift that much steel and haul it around the airport. You can watch World Cup football for me. Roverly, Kent K.

His family would like to help him sell the cars and parts to another enthusiast. His son is the contact person. The first Rover is a 1970 P6B with the V8 engine in it. I believe there is a set of rebuilt cylinder heads for it, with boxes of spare parts and bumpers, fenders and doors. The other car is a blue Rover 1969 TC 2000. The car is in pretty good condition except it has a seized engine. There are boxes of parts for this car as well. The cars and parts are located in Aldergrove, BC, Canada.

One day I will own a Maxi. Probably in some horrible color (though my cars tend to be blue or green . . . .). The Rover will come with some mechancial spares.

Ah yes the booster was faulty and I changed it with a spare. Problems fixed. The excercise also made me finally fulfil a long standing plan. That is, fix an air hose connector to a spare screw on cap of the fluid resevoir. With even a very small psi over the fluid in the resevoire, it makes bleading a one man operation with a good flow of fluid that can be watched progress through a plastic pipe from the bleader screw.

BC, Canada Message-ID: <791337.59620.qm@web34306.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Further to an earlier message that a former member of the RCCC has to sell his Rover interest due to ill health, some developments have taken place. The blue 2000 TC has been sold to a local enthusiast. The enthusiast reported that both cars were well stored in dry conditions. The son, who is doing his best to manage the sale, is not a Rover expert. However, information through this list and on the website have generated enough questions and answers that the son has provided a narrative in a question and answer format and we have posted these with pictures as a web album in our "Rovers For Sale" section of the RCCC website.

What, if anything do you folks use to replace the anti corrosive paper under the caliper covers? 2.) Is there a diagram showing the caliper hose & bleeder screw positions? I have the late setup with (I think!) a hose from the body to one caliper, a hose which connects it to a bracket on the other caliper leading to a short piece of hard line going into the caliper itself and a single bleed screw.

Rice. I put 20 grains or so. If you are really neat, sew them into a bag. 2. The body hose attaches to the top hole of the right caliper. The joiner hose attaches to the bottom hole of the right caliper and the top hole of the left caliper. The bleed goes in the bottom hole of the left caliper. This is counterintuitive for bleeding, but it does work.

The hose from the body to the RH caliper goes in the upper hole (75% sure).

Lay the paper on top of the studs and press the paper onto the studs to form depressions. (Try not to get too depressed, yourself) Then use a box cutter or other sharp thing to cut the holes (or you might have a fancy set of gasket cutting tools) Oh,..... I agree with Vern and Paul about which gets connected to which hole. The question of logic for hose and bleeding hole location? Wouldn't you like to be able to give the caliper designers a shake ask what they were thinking? LOL Eric (On the way to Dirk's event in Mass.) "Always look on the bright side of life."...

(I heard this on an internet forum, so it's possible it's not accurate.) I'd say that we should hold off on any shaking 'till further notice. :-) Kidding aside, it's a shame this has happened to such a talented man late in his life and I'm sure we are all hoping against hope that he is able to make a recovery.

I'm afraid I won't be coming to the Rover event this year. Although I was able to get one of my SD1's going again (after it stopped on the road miles from here last December and was brought home on a rollback truck), I'm still not very confident in its reliability and will monitor it locally before taking a longer trip. The problem -- if anyone on Rovernet cares to know -- was that a serrated washer on a ground wire at the rear of the left cylinder head had managed to come loose/break/fall out due to vibration, etc. It took nearly 5 months for me to discover this, after having checked every component/system on the car (this connection grounds the fuel injection and its computer). Had lots of suggestions as to the source of the failure, but everyone thought it was something other than what it turned out to be -- which was very frustrating. This ground wire/earth is in a very inaccessible location and appeared fine (on the surface, at least, since the wiring did not seem to be loose). The motor would run for a few seconds, then die off -- despite having both fuel and good spark. Fuel pump was fine, too. This was quite a mystery, took far too long to solve! Chris Powell -- the historian of the SD1 club in the UK -- will be attending the MA event once more. I am planning to meet him in the NY/NJ area on either Sunday or Monday following Dirk's gathering, bring him back to the Washington, DC area where we'll continue some Rover sight-seeing, courtesy calls to other owners, etc. On another subject, I wanted to ask if anyone else noticed that the white P6 project that's still for sale (in BC) appears to have an SD1 5 speed in it -- not a factory installation, of course, but one that I've heard P6B owners discuss before. Hope you'll have a good time at RoverAmerica! Please give my regards to Dirk and the other folks there -- maybe I'll make it next year.

It handles much better than an 1100/1300 - much more like a Mini.? The left front suspension hose on mine developed a leak - a friend and I fixed it.? We were amazed at how easy it was to get the displacer out - no need to touch the engine or gearbox.? Brilliant design.

When I owned a rear engined Fiat 850 Sports, I ran a 200A welding cable from the battery at the front to a lug attached to one of the starter motor fixing bolts. I have never heard a Fiat starter motor rev so hard in all my life!! ;-) My P6B also has an "auxiliary earth" 200A welding cable running between battery & starter motor fixing and a similar cable from the +12V to the starter solenoid. I recently stopped to assist someone on the side of a bush track with a stuck accelerator. It turned out to be and inner to outer welded accelerator cable due to the starting battery current. The cause was a broken main braided cable between engine and chassis. Another ramification is that the dc return current may find a path through the coolant, causing electrolytic corrosion in it's path. Some aluminium radiator cores come with a manufacturer's warning to test the voltage from coolant to chassis. If there is more than 20mV (0.02V) difference, look for a fault in earth paths --- voids warranty if test not done by an "authorised person" (whoever that is??)

I had taken it to two different dealers over a period of time, had the starter replaced as well as the glowplug/starter switch. I wanted to drive it on a trip and was laying in bed one morning mentally going through the wiring. The battery was mounted in a box on the inner fender (metal on a MB) with the ground wire connected immediately below the box. I thought, I don't remember seeing a ground strap on the bell housing and if there isn't one, I will install one. I went out raised the hood, searched around, found it with a loos connection on the upper (bell housing) end. Tightened it, end of troubles. I later noticed that a few cables such as throttle cables, etc. had been warmed enough to affect the plastic coating. A diesel starter draws a lot of current. This was over a period of nine months and as I said two dealers shops. I am with Steven, I prefer to "break" my own cars. I had a bad experience on my first new car, a 1958 Volvo 444. I was having new shafts installed on my SU carbs and the "American sports car mechanic" was having difficulty with trying to drill the holes for the tapered pins for the throttle hardware at the right angle. I told him how to do it, but he was too thick to understand what I said, and said, I'll get it. He then proceeded to break a tab on the car body when trying to get the shaft installed. They gave me another used body?and worked up another shaft. I was a little milder in those days. I knew the owner of the shop quite well and told him that would be the last time that I pay someone dumber than I to break my car. His old Swedish mechanic had recently retired. That started my journey to becoming quite knowledgeable about SU carbs. Also, had my first venture with?distributors on that car.?Now I regularly do tech sessions on carbs, ignitions systems, fuel pumps, etc. Slats ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vern Klukas" <vern at inkspotco.com> To: "The original Rovernet ..." <rovernet at rovernet.ca> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 7:49:58 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: [Rovernet ] Hidden ground-wire faults!

One day I was setting the timing using a static light which naturally required the ignition to be left on for a few minutes. Accidently I touched the choke cable and found it cheery-warm. Then everything clicked into place. A spare battery cable out the shed was bolted up to the engine and body - and voila the starter motor spun like a Bombay cricket bookie. Hell - there was even an earth strap hole drilled in the bodywork at just the right place! Symptomatic of British Leyland in its death spiral years - I can imagine some adenoidal cost accountant at a meeting chirping up: "Eee yee knuw. If'm we drop earth strap from car, we save 3.8 pence per uwnit. Thuts a deeruct saarvin of 27,481 quid und 43 pence a yar."

Chris is in NY now, I'm headed up there this morning (from Elllicott City) to meet him in White Plains (where Jamie Kitman's yellow Rover continues to reside at the repair shop shown in his 2007 article). This should be interesting, more of the story later. It looks like the best day to travel to Roanoke will be Tuesday. You're welcome to come along if available to do so, would need to leave early -- which might create some logistical problems on the Baltimore end of things. We should talk on the phone later today.

I'd also have a problem calling it a "restoration" when so much of it differs from the way it came from the factory. It makes no sense at all to do all that work and not be able to say it was restored to look like it just left the showroom. Finally, how in the world could any sane person spend $100k on a P6 restoration or any reputable restoration shop run up a $100k bill on one? Please. You could probably buy four extremely low-mileage P6s with their originality intact or the V8 Graber coupe for $100K.

I'd also have a problem calling it a "restoration" when so much of it differs from the way it came from the factory. It makes no sense at all to do all that work and not be able to say it was restored to look like it just left the showroom. Finally, how in the world could any sane person spend $100k on a P6 restoration or any reputable restoration shop run up a $100k bill on one? Please.

We have recently had a very extensive series of horror stories relating to bad engine ground. Gives all the problems you have described. Have you had the fuel pickup out of the tank to check for blockage? Can you blow air through both the main line and the reserve line from the engine compartment? What kind of fuel filters are you running? Can you blow air through both the main and reserve lines from the tank end? Have you tried running with the fuel filler cap open? Clogged vent lines may cause high vacuum in the tank causing the pump to work against vacuum. Tell us what you've tried. Roverly, Kent K.

It sounds like either a bad needle or seat in the float chamber or too much fuel pressure. Another thought just occurred to me, maybe fuel leaking into one of the floats, making it heavy. The fuel pump pressure should be no more than 3.8 PSI for an SU fuel pump.in most cases. I am not familiar with what type of pump you have, possibly a double ended AZX 1500 series? The fuel pumps generally could not go high pressure on you, as it is the volute spring that is the primary pressure regulating device in an SU. This is the spring that works against the diaphragm when you are installing new points.

Two very solid front fenders, good engine bonnet and doors all from a P4 1953. I have two good transmissions one from a 1950 and 1953. Two or three engine blocks from same models, one good cylinder head, good 1953 Radiator, starter motor, dynamo, brake drums and much more. A partly complete 1963 Mk1A, beyond restoring but good parts. Because of size and weight I'm not too interested in trying to ship anything. It would be a shame to see them end up as scrap, but thats what will happen eventually, I'll have to clear the barn before we attempt to sell the property which will probably happen in the next couple of years Email with your needs/requirements or for more info. Please use my own email address rather than cluttering up Rovernet. Cheers Ben (irishrover) ************* My Books Lily & Me, and The Royal Navy & Me, are now available as E-Books.

British history can spend many happy hours browsing the old newsreel videos at www.britishpathe.com I found some good Rover content: Assignment P6 - a 13 min segment from 1961 on the manufacture & testing of the Rover 2000. Its the second half of a longer piece but the first half which seems to have covered the car's development is missing In the Rover Tradition - 3 reels from about 1950 that cover Rover's history and the development & manufacture of the P5. I loved one scene where a worker tests gearsets by listening to them! There are also several short pieces on the Jet cars and its worth looking at all the newsreels on the Earls Court and other Motor Shows. There's probably more Rover stuff in there but with so many other great pieces I kept getting sidetracked. Terry Dobson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am curious: how will you go from 4.6 to 5.2? Larger stroke crankshaft? While you didn't mention your location, I would suggest that you consider a Borg Warner T5 gearbox out of a Chevrolet Camaro or Ford Mustang --the V8 versions with the better gear ratios and larger diameter (25? 27?) spline input shaft. Buick 215 engine bellhousings will bolt directly to the Camaro, or adapters are available for the Ford gearboxes. (I am based in the USA so all of these items are fairly readily available here.) Others can perhaps offer guidance regarding the rear differential. Probably many options there as well.

We stayed with Steve and Jo Sunday night and talked about all the improvements to the format. Going to Boston and Fanueil Hall was good PR for Rover. Many people stopped and asked questions and having the Land Rovers present made it easy to explain the connection. Now if the weather hadn't been so much like Texas... Especially appreciated were the activities for spouses which were outstanding. Sheila really had a good time. I said it Saturday night and it's still true. Only Dirk could put this together. He is generous in the deepest sense of the word. To him, Lysiane, Joe and Mari, Steve and Jo, a personal thank you and blessing. I can't wait to see the pictures. I think the UK folks found the trip worthwhile. I was certainly glad they were present. Keith and I are working on a trade for stuff he can't get in the UK (NAS/NADA) and I can't get in the US(2200TC). It takes a village to raise a Rover. RoveAmericaly, Kent K.

And a special thank-you to Jo Manwell for the lovely lunch on Saturday, and the enjoyable tour of Boston on Sunday. > > Rover as a marque may have gone from the market, but as long as we have enthusiasts such as Dirk (and everyone else who keeps their Rovers on the road) it will never be forgotten. > > Cheers, > > -- Bill and Cherie Daddis > > > To unsubscribe to the list or change your settings go to this page.

Dirk, Lysiane and Joe has been incredibly generous both with their time and resources in creating what become the only major Rover event on the US calander. I was joking with a friend the other day that I could see him going as far as getting P6s back into production before long. Obviously he has helped me enormously over the last month with his help after I had my accident in my 2000TC. I now believe that I can have this car roadworthy despite my earlier conviction that it was beyond help. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

The best gearbox I found when considering cost verse effect would be the supra same as Gianni recommends. Gatreg 6 speed are good but you pay for it. These chaps in Sydney offer a complete service for conversions and helpful to chat to ( http://www.dellowconversions.com.au/ ). As for the rear I would say start of finding out the spec on the TVR back axel if you want quickness or jag if you want long legs for touring. However for strength ford 9" will be hard to pass by, again many around down here in OZ so should not be too pricey. After saying all that I ended up selling the P6 and bought a go faster yellow SD1 some other chap had spent buckets of money on and which is still running the SD Rear. I do give that some welly ever now and then with no problems other than a knocking exhaust which I think is down to bushes' to weak. If you want to be real sexy you could look at an ID set up from a late model Holden! No one's looking at these and they are a bloody good set up. Now before you do the go faster stuff what are you looking at for stopping it? I'd be recommending you get that sorted first. As you're staying with the same motor weight should not be a problem but cornering and keeping that power at the rubber will need suspension mods.

Of course you would have done all that with the first upgrade. If it was me I think I would leave the Rover back axel as is, do a few burnouts and see what breaks as they can take a bit of and after all if it isn't broke why fix it and what else can you do with a old SD rear end. One other back axel that is gaining popularity, more so in the UK, is the 240 Volvo or 740 turbo! I know firsthand they have the best disc and hand brake set up and can take a lot of HP from V8. A lot of the UK hotrod blokes are using them without modifying behind some big American engines. Other than brackets I dont see fitting one to a SD as much of a problem, dont know about ratios though. BTW if I send you my private email could you send photos of your car?.

High pressure being a relative term, of course. The V8's all used electrical pumps as far as I know, but that's not my area.

It puts out 3.8 PSI but can handle a volume up to 30 GPH. The MGB pump puts out the same PSI, but 15 GPH. My P-5 is set up with the two ends operating one at a time, with separate switching to each end. The body in the center is set up differently. It has two inputs and one outlet, instead of just one inlet. If you are having difficulty with the solid state units from MOSS, they are Hall effect units and I have heard about approximately 20% failure rate. The units I am doing use an optical trigger sensor. I just received a parts order from Burlen Fuel Systems (BFS) who have taken over the SU line. Along with my parts, I also ordered one of their solid state modification kits to compare them. There is a metal vane type of thing in the mechanism that must be adjusted for the pump to operate properly. I would suspect that this may have moved during shipping from rough handling and may be the cause of the problem. You may want to purchase one of the kits in order to get the instruction manual or you may be able to view it on their web site. Just Google SU carbs and they should come up. If you Google SU fuel pumps you will come up with Dave Dubois web site. His is the system that I am using. Dave only re-builds pump from Oct to May. I have been in contact with him and in fact spent two days with him going over the process. He asked me to assist with the workload as he get swamped at times, with like a six week waiting list. I am just about up to speed on building my special tools, jigs and test bench. I should be into full capability within a week to ten days. I re-build will average approximately $100 per unit (close to double for a double ended pump. This entails a complete tear down replacement of all necessary parts, including a new diaphragm, bead blasted, repainting, checking?all check valve (polishing vales and seats or replacing as required), installing the solid state components, testing and running the pump for 24 hours as a fail safe test. It includes a one year warranty. They can be built to either positive or negative?ground configuration. The units with also come with a specification sheet, giving fuel flow pressure, vacuum, GPH, etc. An examination of the unit upon receipt will be made and an evaluation and estimate will be given before work begins. If the cost is going to be too near the cost of a new one because of too?parts may be required (damaged body, etc.), I would then advice that a new unit be purchased instead.?With the current price on new ones, a unit would have to be pretty bad to exceed $120. I bought up all the used pumps in the greater Portland area and probably have 95 or so to cannibalize for parts. My pricing and procedures will mirror,?Dave's practices.

I am truely surprised that they didn't use an SU on the P-6's. Using a mechanical on the V-8's would have made more sense to me. But then look what BL did with the MGTF engines. They?developed a separate 1500 cc engine, for a short run ( 6 months), while at the same time they were developing a 1500 cc engine for the MGA and Nash Metropolitan. No wonder they had financial problems.

Looks like you blokes had a super time. Would have liked to have gone however as it was in Boston not sure if we limeys are forgiven for the tea tax...! More so when I look at the two soldiers, that pointy thing on the end of the musket looks a bit sharp to me. (smile) Being more a fan of the pre WWII cars the photos of the old cars appealed to me most. In the second photo down there is a line up outside a white wall. Going from left to right the fourth car along looks like a tourer. Is that a P2 12 or a special? If it is a special do you have an email for the owner, as I would like to see more of the car. Also in the fifth photo down there are two that have me interested this time going right to left they are the fourth and fifth cars. Forth I'm not sure of as I can only see an unusual front. Then there is a toured again but is this a special. As you may have guessed the specials or unusual cars are what I like. Just wondering if you have more information or photos you could send down to Oz. Thanks for posting the link.

The Tourer you see belongs to Hank Manwell, I don't have his email address, but I'm reasonably certain he reads this list. There are a few more photos of it on the TARC site, at http://www.roverclub.org/henrym.htm The other old Rovers in the photo are mainly from Dirk Burrowes' collection (see http://www.roveramerica.com/Dirks_Cars.html ) and left to right are a 1926 9/20, a 1929 saloon with fabric-covered body by Weymann, a 1933 Meteor, a 1948 P3, a 1950 P4 "Cyclops", and a 105R. After that come my 1959 "90", and (perhaps) Lloyd LeGrow's P5 and Steve Manwell's "100".

Supra 5 speed steel case (W55 or 57 I think) with Dellow adaptor kit - there's lots of info on the web about this conversion, and they're much stronger than a T5 or R380; 2. Quaiffe SD1 LSD (ideally with uprated shafts if you can find any) although I have heard of V8 Ford Falcon, V8 Holden Commodore and even Nissan Pintara rear ends being adapted. I recall BL even tried a Jag set up on one of their (Paris to Peking) rally cars in the early '80s.

I can only get a trickle from the fuel pump. (BTW...the bendix has no diaphram according to book) . I am suspecting that the reserve fuel tap has gone bad and is not letting fuel enter the pump itself ...the reason I say this is because I removed the cut off plug at the pump and nothing was coming from the tank ...not a drop at first ...untill I played with the reserve tap...then it only gave me a trickle. I also tried blowing air through the fuel return line and it was a hard push ...is this normal ? shouldn't I be able to freely blow air back to the tank ? Has anyone here had problems with thereserve tap ?? Has anyone tried removing the tap and using a bypass ? Is there any chance that the tank itself has plugged up and caused this ? Thanks...

I think I am due for either a short or an appearance of the Lucas patented smoke. I have tightened the outer lock ring and still have play sideways and in and out. I then rotated the inner lock ring, the one behind the dash and close to the switch, forward toward the dash to see if that would tighten things up and the barrel still turns with the key. Am I missing a washer or lock ring somewhere? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Repair is difficult, short of replacing the switch.

I told you I would get back to you when I did. I am not in the Rover car business. I am a pastor who does Rovers on the side. Unless something else comes up, I will be at the shop on Thursday...but then again, we are supposed to have a hurricane and flash floods Thursday and Friday... Do not send me any more emails until I have contacted you. Roverly, Kent K.
