The Alberta All British Field Meet is scheduled for Saturday June 11  
at Edmonton's Victoria Park.
I have communicated with a fellow Rover owner, and there may be a 2000  
TC and several 2000 SC's in attendance.
My car is still waiting for transmission seals, and continues to lose  
oil from the rear of the box, so I'm a little leery of the 1 1/2 hour  
drive into the city.
May yet throw a liter of oil in the boot and leave a little early to  
check levels every now and again and bring it in.
I will go to the event, car or not. Anyone else going and want to meet  
up?
Roy

Hi Roy

Manual or Auto? How big is the oil spot? I've got an aviation maintenance manual saved somewhere that had a table linking the size of spot, fluid type (lube oil, hydraulic oil, coolant etc) and standing time with a general leak severity. If I remember right, the scale was something like trivial, minor, attend to in x hours, correct before flight.

I'll try and find it tonight.

Yours
Vern

Roy, 

Oil is a consumable in all British Cars.  I have a friend who regularly
hides caches of oil around the area just in case he runs out.  I think he
can go about 50 miles to a half gallon of oil on a Stag.  

Take your car and extra oil.  Enjoy.

I wish I could get to the all British meet in Calgary, but it is just too
far from Winnipeg.  However, there is an all British meet in Fargo N.D. on
June 16 - 18.

Regards,

Glen

Subject: [Rovernet ] Weekend
Message-ID: <BANLkTi=qDRKBEJ+s35y+oPi+9G-GVgiBYw@mail.gmail.com>

Thank you to Dirk and everyone else at RoverAmerica.  I'm not sure what I
expected, but had a surprisingly good time and thoroughly enjoyed the whole
thing.  The range of personalities and backgrounds among us is remarkable,
but underlying all was a welcoming generosity and an enthusiasm for Rovers
that have inspired me to work harder on my cars and to stay better
connected.

The only things I'd change would be to stay for the whole thing and to bring
better shoes!  Meanwhile, I'm so excited about the P5 hubcap tool I bought
from Garrett that I've decided to have it made into a necklace so I can take
it wherever I go.

If you're passing through Virginia and want to feel good about your Rover,
stop by and see mine.

Best,

Gordon Harrower.

Glad to hear that you had a good time, Gordon. I really wanted to make 
it, but, alas, there was simply no way I could due to a bunch of things 
that came up. Next year!

Just knowing that there is a hubcap tool out there made me wish I was 
there, as getting mine off the one time I had to do it was enough to 
make me wish I never had to again.

Tom

PS: If anyone has a set of wheel cylinders that I could use as a core 
for resleeving at White Post, I would be eternally grateful (and I would 
send you mine as replacements when I have them out of the car...).

I'm on the wrong coast for this event; hope to make it someday though.

What is this P5 hubcap tool of which you speak?  One is intrigued.  We believe we could use such a wondrous device ourselves.

Hi Roverites,
Boy what a great RoveAmerica!!!  Dirk, Joe, Steve and whoever else did a 
great job.  Thanks to them and to all those who worked late to get their 
cars ready and to those who came without a car just to share in the weekend.

Imagine my surprise when I got home and checked San Antonio Craigslist 
and found a Cyclops for sale right here in town.  The guy's name is Tom 
Mix (no joke) and he runs a rod and restoration shop here.  He and his 
dad have had the car about fifteen years and it runs and drives.  I knew 
nothing about it!!!!  I'm going out to look at it next week but it seems 
pretty solid...just a couple of spots with rust through.  I'm not in the 
market but will offer my opinion after I see the car.

Roverly,
Kent K.

We were fortunate to have great weather during the event itself, though 
some traveling to Massachusetts to Wednesday had to dodge tornadoes!   
There was a great turnout of cars and Rover fans again this year.

I second Gordon's comments (although I think we need to take up a collection for some mental health treatment for him------hubcap tool necklaces!!! next he'll be telling us about spark plug earrings he'll be wearing to the next RoverAmerica!!!!).  I can't thank Dirk (and everyone else) enough for their hospitality and friendship.  How nice to finally put some faces and personalities to all of the Rovernet exchanges.
Since the forces of nature decided to smite my freeze-dried, shrink wrapped, 1/25th size Rover3500S and smash it to smithereens, I'm happy to inform all that I found a curious rabbit with a vest and pocket watch who invited me into his warren.  I drank from a bottle labeled "drink me" and discovered an entire world of 1/25th sized Rover parts.  The rebuild has begun, but is taking longer than expected because I can't keep away from the rabbit's best friend's hookah!!!!

Hello Dirk and Rover America attendees,
  I had a great time attending the Rover weekend as always!  It is great
that we can all get together and share our common interest every year!  It
is also a great motivator to work on our cars to get them ready for the trip
to the event!!
Best to all,
Garrett

Hi Steve,

Very nice images of RA11. Do you have a problem with my forwarding these to
Paula Owen of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette? I will credit you as the
copyright holder for the images.

Thanks again,

Hi Joe,

No problem -- I can send her higher resolution versions too if there are

Message-ID: <B8F87EAB2D474F0482B8481DC556BA38@SD1>


Hello Rovernetters,

It is great to hear about the Roveamerica and I am sorry that we could not
make it this year. If I get to a running point on the one I am restoring now
then we will take it up next year and make a full vacation of it. I have
been hoping to have some of the two wheel drive Rovers at the Mid Atlantic
Rally to show all the Land Rover owners which car came first so if anyone is
interested in coming please let me know. It is held on the first weekend in
October in Buckingham County, Virginia which is south of Charlottesville and
is a four day event. You can check it out @http://www.roav.org
On another note I am in need of a right hand tie rod with ends for a 1948
Rover P3 if anyone knows of one.

Hmmm ..... sounds like snake oil to me.

AFAIK the "signal conditioner" is nothing more than a voltage regulator 
feeding a reduced voltage (say 8-9 volts) to the various instruments 
(which are also rated at 8-9 volts) and in the process absorbing the 
vehicle's natural system voltage variations (typically 12.6-14.1 volts)

This constant gauge voltage ensures the gauge reading is not affected by 
the vehicle's system voltage variations.

These units are fitted to many vehicles, not just Rovers.

See
http://www.tntlr.com/content/voltage-stabilizer

Great way to make US$195.00
;-)

That said, OEM Land Rover and Rover sedan gauges are notorious for an 
inbuilt "dead zone" around the centre scale, but it is a design bug in 
the gauge itself.

I an spending AU$190.00 of my hard earned $$$$$'s on a low level coolant 
alarm.

This constant gauge voltage ensures the gauge reading is not affected by 
the vehicle's system voltage variations.

These units are fitted to many vehicles, not just Rovers.

See

Great way to make US$195.00
;-)

That said, OEM Land Rover and Rover sedan gauges are notorious for an 
inbuilt "dead zone" around the centre scale, but it is a design bug in 
the gauge itself.

I an spending AU$190.00 of my hard earned $$$$$'s on a low level coolant 
alarm.

Hi Ben,
It is nice to hear from you again. I don't remember just what it was that I
got from you but it may have been the left side tie rod ends since they are
new. The right side inner one has a bit too much play in it and the outer is
about to join it in condition. I really only need the tie rod ends to make a
go of it. Please do let me know if you have the parts I need.
You are correct in that this is the same or should I say the only 1948 P3 75
SS that I have. To date most all the mechanical bugs have been worked out
but I still need to fabricate the frame extensions and install them to true
the stance up. After that it will be all body and interior work. I can't
wait to see how it does on the road with the 2.6L engine and over drive. I
also used the P4 differential which is a bit taller so the car should be
able to keep up on the interstates. Only time will tell.

Best always,
Ben

Hi again Ban,
I could also use a better linkage rod that goes from the control arm to the
steering yoke. I forgot to mention that in my broadcast of needs.

More modern, solid state units are also available as replacements. Note, most vehicles use the voltage regulator to feed both the temp and fuel guage. If your fuel level goes up at the same time the temp guage does, it is a very strong indication that the voltage regulator is going. Nice to gain a quater tank of fuel, but it is a false reading.

Hey Guys,
Nice pics..
One question, the shot taken where you can see sd1's and P6's and others stacked up on racking...in the background.. any reason for that? Are they part of a collection or something?
More importantly to me, are any of the P6 3500S's for sale!?
 
Regards
Richard

Eric at Bits4Brits sells a very nice solid state voltage regulator that ought to work in this application.

More modern, solid state units are also available as replacements. Note, most vehicles use the voltage regulator to feed both the temp and fuel guage. If your fuel level goes up at the same time the temp guage does, it is a very strong indication that the voltage regulator is going. Nice to gain a quater tank of fuel, but it is a false reading.

If you subscribe to the idea that it's worth paying top whack to get the very best, then this car is probably money well spent.  You certainly couldn't restore one to this condition for that amount of money.  If I were selling a car of this quality, I'd take the same approach this seller is - ask absolutely top price, plus 30% or so, and see what kind of interest I get.

Here is the information again for all the others to see.
Fitting LED marker turn or brake lights into the Lucas 109 light fixture:

In order to fit the Ebay item 400215080200 LED Mini marker/turn lights from
Ebay user "closetowholesale" into the Lucas 109 side marker housing used on
the Rover P2 and P3 it is necessary to first remove the existing chrome ring
and rubber ring from the LED fixtures and then remove the bulb housing from
the Lucas 109 side marker. This will leave room for the LED fixture to fit
in the aperture of the 109 inner housing. The LED light fixture comes with a
resistance circuit board attached in the wiring. This can either be removed
to allow for the extension of the wire leads to the bulb or it can be
carefully bent (do not brake the board) to fit in the dome of the 109 side
marker. Keep in mind that the white lead is negative (-) and the black is
positive (+). The red lead is the bypass of the resistance for the brighter
light (brake or turn). These also come in red for the rear.

Message-ID: <280990.69831.qm@web86702.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

On Friday 10th June on BBC 4 there was a programme on Carlos Santana and an hour 
in they showed a clip of a white car on the Golden Gate Bridge which does look 
suspiciousley like a P6. No commentry over the clip so it may just be wishful 
think on my part but he aint hanging around and the camera pans with him.

I'm not sure if overseas residents can access i player but I know Brit residents 
can. The section is at just over an hour in from 1:00:22 to 1:00:36 link below. 
If it aint a P6 what is it?

Thanks

Is it right that these SA P6s have had standard 3500 badges but no special "V8 
Sport" badges?

That sounds correct from what I remember.  The "Sport" designation was a local appellation for the only P6 model that was on offer by Leykor from circa 1972 and, as such, did not require unique badges. 
 
Quite what the customer got to justify the Sport I don't know, but suspect it was probably based around high-comp pistons - making a virtue of a necessity since most SA cars were sold up on the Highveld [5000-6000 feet ASL].
 
As an aside, the aronline website is excellent, but they got the Triumph Chicane entry wrong.  This SA model was manual with a Laycock overdrive - not an automatic - with excellent fuel economy [important in the post 1973 Fuel Crisis era].

My 1972 Leycor assemble 3500 auto does not have any badging which says 'V8 Sport' for all intents and purposes its the same as the UK cars. However it does appear to have had an electric fuel pump possibly from day 1 (mounted in the boot). 
The car in question is for sale on the Rover P6 Club website...too many cars around me at present.

The NADA 1970 Rover 3500S had side reflectors with a very slim side lights
(very hard to find) under the reflector on all four corners stock. The two
tone in this style to me is not very attractive as well. The car looks to be
in excellent shape and it is always nice to see that. I have always thought
it might be a nice trick to two tone the P6 from the chrome strip down and
have the top to march. Some what like the US cars of the 50's.

those side lights are not standard
 
I once had a box full of side reflectors, even some side lights, but they went to the UK years ago

Are those side lights standard to NADA cars? I don't like them much.

Likely the same guy also has a white 3500S with red fenders.  I think a true
two-tone would divide the colors along the peak of front and rear fenders.  

At the late Ron Jones' "Rover Ranch" I saw a 3500S that had dark gray
fenders with silver bonnet, roof and boot... and Dayton wire wheels... it
was very striking.  I'll get around to digitizing those photos some day.

Hi Gross,
Missed you at RoveAmerica. I have all Ron's old pictures so may have a 
shot of that one as well, though it doesn't ring a bell offhand.

BTW, those side markers are the same as North America MGB markers from 
1970 on. Like most British parts, though, they were used on other 
vehicles, including the Jaguar XJS.

....but not on Rovers. Those side markers were never stock on a Rover. I 
do like the SD1 wheels on a P6. I had so many SD1 wheels that I sent a 
bunch to scrap last year...still have four sets.

Subject: [Rovernet ] P3 horn contact
Message-ID: <4DFDF013.5080905@adam.com.au>

Morning all,

Steadily progressing withe rebuilding of the P3.

A snag has stopped me at teh moment.

I need to remove the steering wheel, looks simple enough, remove the 
cross cotter bolt and nut, BUT, the horn contact assembly which 
incorporates the headlamp dipper switsh has me stumped as to its 
removal. I have searched for "hidden screws", none. It appears to be 
loose, but will not pull off, or rotate off. I am being quite careful as 
I do not want to break anything.

What is the trick here please.

Thanks in advance.

Grant Francis

Hello Grant,
This one stumped me as well at first until I realized that the horn and dip
buttons do not turn with the wheel. Look at the front end of the steering
box and you will find a keeper collar that wraps around the tube that goes
all the way down from the steering wheel through the steering box to deliver
the wires for the horns and dip light solenoids. Loosing the collar and
disconnect the wires then you can pull the entire device out if necessary.
If you suspect a broken wire just connect a fish line to the good one pull
out both and fish back two good new ones for the devices and try to match
the colors. 
Good luck,
Ben

Virginia,

Subject: [Rovernet ] P3 horn contact


Morning all,

Steadily progressing withe rebuilding of the P3.

A snag has stopped me at teh moment.

I need to remove the steering wheel, looks simple enough, remove the 
cross cotter bolt and nut, BUT, the horn contact assembly which 
incorporates the headlamp dipper switsh has me stumped as to its 
removal. I have searched for "hidden screws", none. It appears to be 
loose, but will not pull off, or rotate off. I am being quite careful as 
I do not want to break anything.

What is the trick here please.

Thanks in advance.

Grant Francis

Stralia.

HI all...... 
 
               I've just been informed that a very low mileage 2000TC is about to come up for sale.........It presently resides in a museum and they have got parts from me so i know of the car.......the engine right now (orig seized so car was donated) is being rebuilt with 2200 pistons and head gasket on 2000 block.......I have seen pics of it ...Lunar grey with red leather interior....body and interior are as close to perfect....The contact from the museum tells me they will want top dollar( i told him that top dollar for a TC is probably not what they consider top dollar LOL  but thats besides the point)    Anyone looking to buy a nice solid example in the near future let me know and i'll put you in contact with the museum............
On my own TC i just did a tune up and found after all new stuff put in i had no spark to the plugs.........after wasting a lot of time i discovered the new Lucas points i put in were some how grounding out and lo and behold i put the old points back in and runs great again...........I specifically got a bunch of NOS Lucas ignition stuff from a garage in trade for a set of HS8's.......after once before having trouble with my Czechoslovakian made cap and rotor........Made me look silly when the wife asks why the car won't start to go to the car club after i did a tune-up   LOL....But dear i thought thats why you only wanted Lucas original equipment............I will have to persue the Pertronix route again.....

Bill,

Save yourself some time and buy your ignition components from Jeff Schlemmer at Advanced Distributors. 

www.advanceddistributors.com

He has excellent quality points, rotors, caps, and wires. His rebuild/recurve services are excellent, too.

Hi All,
My '69 2000TC is coming up for sale very soon as well-I plan to put it on eBay motors in a couple of weeks if none of the Rovernetters wants it. It too is very low mileage at 41,550. And it is a Fed/AC(factory Delanair)with everything working. Any interested party can contact me off-line for additional details.
Cheers,

Hi Bill and all others,

I too know of a good deal on a 1971 or 72 Rover TC 2000 that is in West
Virginia not too far from me. If any one is interested I will see if I can
get more information and some photos. At the present time it has a 3500S
bonnet on it but I gave the owner, a good friend of mine, a series II bonnet
and grill to put on it but I want the 3500 hood as a spare if it gets
swapped out. The car is dark green with a buck skin interior. I have not
seen it for a few years but it was in very good condition when I saw it
last. I on the other hand am in need of some parts for a 1970 3500S. I just
acquired this car which was redone some years back but not totally
reassembled. It is missing all four calipers and the drive shaft. If anyone
can help please let me know. 

Thanks and cheers,

Ben Saunders
Virginia, USA

Message-ID: <F57ED0A3B64C4708B50FABA30E89AEE3@SN037535920331>

Hi all
I know the following has been a subject of conversation before and I know some of you already have databases but I am conducting a census of P6's to establish just how many are surviving. 
The census was originally going to be of UK cars but seeing as our database is already more extensive than that, I now plan to make this a worldwide census so that we can produce a relatively accurate count so can I please ask that you visit the page on the Rover P6 Club website which is dedicated to the P6 Census as there is a contact email address there for details to be sent to.
www<dot>p6club<dot>com/node/335    (please replace <dot> with .   thankyou)

This census has come into being after the DVLA published statistics about cars in the UK that are 'Licensed' and on 'SORN'. For those of you who don't know the UK system, 'licensed' means taxed for the road and 'SORN' means Statory Off Road Notification, in other words cars that exist on the system but aren't on the road, for what every reason, be it the winter months, under going restoration or just parked up. However there is a larger groupl on 'unlicensed' cars , these may have been scraped and not declared or they may be parked up in a garage somewhere waiting to be discovered again, either way these are the great unknowns.

So the plan is to get a closer count to what is really out there
Please help by send what ever details you know of what ever P6's that still exist.


Speak Soon
Warmest regards
Mark

Hi,

I have 1 driving P6.  It's a Cameron Green 1969 with a Webasto Roof  
and Magstar Wheels.  I've had it for abut 30 years. Best car I have  
ever owned!
Also have a '68 TC with A/C. I won't call it a parts car as is it  
still all together. Needs restoration and a good home

Census?  I own a 1970 3500S, located at below address.  It has air
conditioning. It is (bogus) Brigade Red (Chevy 2 pack) and I drive it daily.
There is also a completely original, but very worn, 2000TC manual with a/c
sitting in a lot near me.  The owner alleges he intends to restore it,
but...

I am thinking of buying this CD rom. Has anyone else bought this manual, and have any comments. If not I will buy it anyway, and report  back on what I find. One of my cars has the Dunlop brakes, which I can see in the image. This guy has quite a bit of British stuff on his website, at pretty good prices.

Hello everyone,
Would anyone happen to have a good picture of the front Dunlop disc
brakes on an early 2000TC?

I am interested in seeing how similar the caliper design is to those used
on my 1962 MGA 1600 Mk II Deluxe --the competition model with the 4-wheel
disc brakes.  These MGAs used essentially the same design as on the XK150
or early Mk II Jag saloons with the independent caliper cylinder 'pucks'
mounted on a central spine caliper bracket, with a steel brake line
joining the two hydraulically.  They're a bit heavy, and I am sure
lighter and more modern calipers were available once the 2000TC was on
the market after 1-2 years.   Curiosity question only...I promise I'm not
'parts shopping' for the MGA!

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Dan   (Roverless at the moment....)

Dan, I have in my shop now an MGA coupe special, that actually started life

anything for you; let me know. A customer left it with me to sell. Contact

Early P6 2000, Jag 150-early XKE- MKII-MK9-maybe early MK10,  MGA TC & 
Deluxe, and a number of other cars (Alfa etc) used the same design, and 
mostly identical. Very early XK150 Jags had round pad versions, but 
those lasted only a short time ( I once met an XK140 that had them as 
OEM, but this is not supposed to be).
The wheel cylinders were of different diameters in different 
applications, but they are bolt-on pieces. The big Jag (MK9/10) saloons 
may have used a larger main casting, as they had very large wheel 
cylinders and bigger pads, it's too long since I worked on any. Same for 
rears, although there were some minor differences in handbrake parts, 
but I no longer remember exactly what. As far as I know for 2000TC, the 
Dunlop brakes were used on only 2000TC Suffix A, i/e.a very few very 
early ones. I have the remains of one of the first (66) US 2000TC, and 
it has the later monobloc Girling calipers (and the insane swing 
calipers in the back!). All the pre 66 2000 I've seen have the Dunlop 
calipers.

Hi Guys,
I believe Studebaker used the Dunlop setup on the front end (drums on 
the rear)...'62 through '64 Avanti and all R1 and R2 equipped Hawks, 
Daytonas, Cruisers, and Commanders. Was an RPO on non-R cars. I had a 
pair of '64 Cruisers, identical except one had discs and one had front 
drums. I once suffered the dreaded "bite out of the disc syndrome" while 
on the freeway in Little Rock, AR. Don't know how far they continued to 
use Dunlop but assume through the end of production in April '66. Avanti 
II may have used them longer.

I have the remains of a TC with Dunlops.

Roverly,
Kent K.

All of this information is actually interesting, but I think that the 
original poster had specified a particular address to send this to. 
Please double-check, or your information may not be getting to the right 
people!

Yes , This is true. I sent my info (w/vin) directly to him. I did receive an acknowledgement and response

All of this information is actually interesting, but I think that the 
original poster had specified a particular address to send this to. 
Please double-check, or your information may not be getting to the right 
people!

Hi again
Thank you one and all, yes the info is getting through to me and I am trying to reply to everyone who contacts me to confirm this individually, so please bare with me. 

My original thought behind using the link  through the RP6C club website was so that everyone could see first of all , that this was a legitimate Census and secondly, it also meant  that nobody had to send their car's details through open forum, if they didn't want to.

That said the main thing I need is the car' registration number because it is this, that other people who see you out about, send to me and it is cross referencing these links that I need to do to get an accurate set of stats. That said it is also useful having the vin number as well because this is expanding our P6 database, and is producing so interesting stats all of its own. I am hoping to produce some preliminary stats in a couple of months time but the main stats will be out when UK DVLA produce their figures for 2011.

Thanks again for all of your help and please keep the details coming for the P6 Census.

My "car registration" here in Oregon, fortunately a "vanity plate' state,
is..."70 ROVR"!  (Not enough spaces to spell out name.)  I think it is $45
extra for the vanity numbers and letters. And no, you may not have the f
word, or the s word, etc. as vanity expressions on the rear of your vehicle!
PS, my Sterling, since I am not remotely creative, is..."90 ROVR"!

Subject: [Rovernet ] Brake Light Switch
Message-ID: <BLU160-ds10219889751A960C45C003B5570@phx.gbl>

My 1970 Rover 3500S won third place in my class (cars from 1950 to 1980 costing less than $7,000 when sold as new) at yesterday's Palo Alto (Calif.) Concours d'Elegance.

The judges indicated that I would have scored higher if my brake lights worked!

This was my first notice that they didn't work, and I later found out that I need a new brake light switch.

1. Is this switch hydraulic or mechanical?

2. Regardless, does anyone know where I can get another one?

Thanks.

Hydraulic. Should be a common switch.

Nice mechanic you got there. I'd be checking a multitude of other electrical gremlins before coughing
for a wiring harness. He may be right; but not yet! What other procedures has he done? Check 
grounding? Check fuse box? Check contact points? Clean anything? New bulbs are not always
good. Where were they made? Any corrosion? Start with these items and 'then' work your way up.
......best regards, Ed K.

Sounds like your mechanic is not much of an electrician or even a one wire technician (the chassis is the other wire).?Replacing a harness is a major task in my mind. I would much rather trace a few wires. I would bet that the problem is a dirty connection (bullet connector) or a loose ground.

Albert,

The electrical harness is the bundle of wires that makes up the car's ENTIRE wiring system. 

Either you have a REALLY bad wiring problem, or your mechanic is not partial to British cars and has succumbed to the belief that Lucas electrics always need to be changed out for new, I'm guessing. 

As others have mentioned, you should get a second opinion and/or invest some time in checking things out yourself.

Albert,
 Usually poor connections. Either the bullet connectors from the lamps or the fuses, sometimes the rivets that hold the fuses in place get weak and cause a open circuit.. Poor earths on the bulb holders themselves can cause issues, more common in more moderate-damp climates such as hear in the UK. Never needed to relpace wiring itself unless damaged by human error

I agree. I have an intermittent alternator no-charge fault. By removing the
bullet connectors, and sanding all contact surfaces, it is easily restored.

I completely restored my US NADA 1970 3500S, and I only needed to repair a
few chafed wires.  Splice in sections with bullet connectors. There was/is a
US source for correct color wires - British Wiring, I think. They were very
responsive.

Either you have a REALLY bad wiring problem, or your mechanic is not partial
to British cars and has succumbed to the belief that Lucas electrics always
need to be changed out for new, I'm guessing. 

As others have mentioned, you should get a second opinion and/or invest some
time in checking things out yourself.

An air pistol cleaning brush .177 diameter, is an excellent cleaning tool for the barrel section of the bullet connectors. After cleaning, a little diaelectric grease will help seal the connection.

I agree. I have an intermittent alternator no-charge fault. By removing the 
bullet connectors, and sanding all contact surfaces, it is easily restored.

One of the things I've found useful in Rover ownership is some of the
products by Caig Labs... http://store.caig.com/s.nl/sc.2/.f    

Many years ago their contact cleaner/enhancer product was called "Cramolin,"
and was a favorite tool of the high end audio folks to assure good
electrical connections.  I'm still using the remains of a 2 oz bottle I
bought 25 years ago.  Then they changed the name to DeoxIT and introduced
something called ProGold for use with plated connections. They still make
these products and they work very well.

I've used it on the electrical connections and bulb bases on my '67 TC over
the years and have far fewer problems with intermittent/poor/corrosion prone
connections than before.  Helps, too, on the marginal electrics of my '87
Audi quattro.

Hi Albert
I see that you got quite a few responses on your 3500 electrical problem. 
Each one has a lot of very good information.  To help save your mechanic
some time and you some money, could let us know what lights have the
problem.  Also any details about the conditions such as " it all happened
all at once" or "the tail lights work but the stop lights don't" or "the
head lights work but the dash lights do not",  could help us help track
down the problem or problemS.    

John

I was a bit worried about my electrics in my Rover 2000. I found that some of the insulation had chaffed through where the wires past through the base unit. I ran some new ones with round connectors, which you squeeze with some pliers, and put some tape around the wire bundle to prevent further chaffing, and this fixed up the problem. With a bit of time an effort you should be able to fix the wires you have, unless something bad has happened like lots of wires chewed by rodents. If you were a little closer to upstate NY I would offer to come and help. 

I think I have seen somewhere a supplier for wire looms, however I think that you have to make sure that you get one which is specific for left hand drive. If I have a chance to have a look I will repost for you. Good luck, and do not let Lucas the Prince of Darkness get to you.

Dear John:

You make a very constructive suggestion.

At the car show, some of the judges stand behind the car and one stands in front.

The judge at the front wants to see your headlights on and then hi-beams. In my case, the headlights came on, but one of the lights in the the high beam set of two on the left did not work. (Each lamp cluster has two lights of the same intensity. When the regular lights are switched on, only 1 light in each cluster goes on. When the brights are switched on, all four lights are supposed to work).

My directional signals worked, front and rear.

With the parking lights, the upper light on the left did not work.

The brake lights did not work. I am told that I need a new brake light switch to fix that because sometimes they come on but only weakly, and then flicker out.

They made me raise and lower all four side windows and they all worked. All other electrical things worked.

Best wishes,
Albert

Hi Folks
         My 1961 P4-100 has a problem with the gas gauge (petrol). When the tank is full the gauge reads full but as the fuel lowers the needle flickers all over the place. I'm wondering if this is a defective float unit, or maybe the gauge. My other thought is that the car has been changed to  negative ground and perhaps the floatunit/gauge were not changed over at the same time???? I'd appreciate any ideas suggestions.

My directional signals worked, front and rear. 

With the parking lights, the upper light on the left did not work. 



A. Check the bulb itself in another location or with an ohm meter. It could also be, a bad connection coming into the socket or a poor ground 

The brake lights did not work. I am told that I need a new brake light switch to fix that because sometimes they come on but only weakly, and then flicker out. 



A. Brake light switches do fail. Many folks are installing relays into this circuit because of this. 

They made me raise and lower all four side windows and they all worked. All other electrical things worked.

To summarize all of the answers to the original question:

1.) Unless you have serious wire chafing, rodent damage, or badly 
performed wiring mofications, your harness should be fine.
2.) You problem almost certainly lies with dirty or corroded 
connections, something that can quite easily be resolved.

The good news is that this is a much cheaper fix. The bad news is that 
you'll have to find a new mechanic or dig into it yourself, which 
doesn't sound like your idea of a good time!

You can get your float sender unit rebuilt. Here is the link to the company which does this. I  pulled mine out, and put on a rivet, and used some silver solder to get the sender working in my P6. The sender is most likely a float with and resistance wire wound variable resistor. Take it out and inspect. Test with an ohm meter, and see if the resistance changes as the float moves up and down. The sender should not care which polarity it is, but possibly the voltage regulator on the cluster might.

I'm wondering if this is a defective float unit, or maybe the gauge. My other thought is that the car has been changed to  negative ground and perhaps the floatunit/gauge were not changed over at the same time???? I'd appreciate any ideas suggestions.

One tip re: fuel senders that are erratic. Remove the sender and its' cover. 
A contact rides on some little coils, which get corroded. clean them with a 
pencil eraser; that may solve a problem of one that works part of the time..
