The '54 and earlier 75 has a different part number. 1960 and later P4 and P5 engines used part number 231155 for both the top and the middle rings, so I assume (but don't know for sure) that these would not work. Do you still have the 110 too? I still remember the ride in the 110 from downtown San Diego up to the auto museum several years ago. --Steve Manwell On 2/28/2012 5:21 PM, Rover Man wrote: > iam in need of piston rings new or used for my P4 Rover 105R ,does anyone have them for me? thanks Nelson > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL:<http://rovernet.ca/mailman/private/rovernet_rovernet.ca/attachments/20120228/02ced707/attachment.html> > ************************************** > Join the back-up list or look at or post photos at: > http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rover_net/ > > > From p4roverman at yahoo.com Thu Mar 1 13:04:46 2012 From: p4roverman at yahoo.com (Rover Man) Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 11:04:46 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Rovernet ] p4 piston rings for 105r Message-ID: <1330628686.23276.YahooMailNeo@web112717.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> To Steve Manwell, Yes i still do have my P4 Rover 110, stills runs, take it out once in awhile, thru all this time, i had about 20 other rover cars , still in need of glass for my Cyclopes.

I believe the g'box is identical, and the engine is similar, larger bore, shorter stroke, but visually virtually identical apart from the inlet manifold and carburettors, and if I'm not mistaken, pretty much a direct bolt-in replacement.

I took a friends car on a holiday that had been "fully service by reputable garage .I wouldn't hold on a hill.When I got home that nite I checked & sure enough it had the same problem , The hand-brake mechanism is mounted on the brake cylinder.this is mounted on the backing plate with special washers that act like springs so that the cylinder is free to move. The nuts should be done up till they are tight then undone two complete turns so that the cylinder can move to align the brake-shoes. Pull the hand brake on a couple of times,then,readjust the square compensator . When I did this on the car we were using ,I had to do the adjuster up 5 clicks on 2 side & 8 on the other. Now the hand brake was fully on at 4 clicks & just about stalled the car, 2X 10HP 2x P3 3xP4 2xP5 4xP6-6B 2xSD1 1X827 1X Rangie HSE 1X75 with 200200 Km on the clock Michael From robertime at cavtel.net Sun Mar 4 20:19:03 2012 From: robertime at cavtel.net (ROBERT HEIMERL) Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2012 21:19:03 -0500 Subject: [Rovernet ] P6B in Los Angeles Junkyard Message-ID: <CAG4k1tHrSVj_+ZczX-TBgYWUmXZmEKF=xTekXaOjoj0wLhrSLA@mail.gmail.com> Hi all, A fellow Rover SD1 owner has asked me to post word that there is a complete Rover P6B at the Pick-a-Part in L.A.

Thank you all the same. I had tried just about everything, w/cyl working,swivels free and I even adjusted the rods. Still no hand brake. Then I received an email suggesting I loosen the wheel cylinders one full turn on the back plates. My first reaction was, no that wouldn't work. I remembered the Austin A60's had sliding rear wheel cyl and if it stuck the hand brake didn't work. However, I could'nt see how that applied to a P4, the cylinders fit snug into the back plate. I went to the manual, and sure enough same advice there. I freed the three cyl retaining nuts one full turn. Guess what? my brake now works. So it pays to heed the advice provided on the Rovernet. Now if it would just stop snowing and allow spring to begin I might be able to get the Rover back out on the road, Cheers Ben (irishrover) PS - Happy Saint Patrick's day on 17th March ************* My Books Lily & Me, and The Royal Navy & Me, are now available as E-Books.

Basic problem, I'm sure, is that the tensioners are now made offshore (probably India) and you've run afoul of some poor quality control. I've never seen that myself. And what I do to hold the tensioner together (presuming it has the retractor) is just smear it with wheel bearing grease. If I have to use a tensioner without a retractor, I just tie a bit of string around it. Even if the string gets away from me when I cut it, it will not cause any problem in the sump.

The difference isn't much and probably won't be noticeable. I may have some clips, but will have to pull a strip off a car to see for sure what they look like. In case anyone is looking for a set of the narrow (NAS-TC/Swiss market) trim strips like Bill is using, I have both full sets and partial sets...not cheap though. Roverly, Kent K.

As it happens, it is rather pertinent since I was planning to use a right rear door from a TC to replace a rusted-through one on the 3500. I figured there would be some issues fitting the 3500's window frame and mechanism, but it would have been extremely tedious to offer up a nicely repainted door just to find out that the trim strips don't line up. I measured the distance to the mounting holes from the bottom of the door, and those on the TC are about 3/8" higher. They are a bit too high for them to be covered by the strip, so would have to be filled. In light of this, I'm going to see if we have a rust-free 3500 door -- it might just be less bother. Thanks to everyone who offered a set of the wider 3500S strips. I do have a set, but want to use the narrower strips as were fitted to some European-spec 3500s, simply because I like the look of them better. I've decided that this is the year to deal with the restoration of the 3500's exterior, so I want to get as many of my ducks set up in a row before I get to work on it.

There's a growing problem with the quality of old-school classic car parts. Since their original manufacturing bases have now long gone, many of these items are now made in "developing countries" and they are often nothing more than cheap-quality clone copies. The problem first seems to have surfaced in the area of ignition and electrical parts [e.g. points, condensors, dizzy caps, rotors and voltage regulators] about 7-8 years ago. Sadly it can only get worse. > From: rover2000nut at hotmail.com > To: rovernet at rovernet.ca > Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:14:26 +0000 > Subject: [Rovernet ] 2000TC trouble > > > > Hi all Last fall on my last outing the car developed a good chain rattle at idle.......for all who may recall in the summer i had the throttle hang wide open and ruin the cam, the cam housing and couple of tappets, etc......i rebuilt it and had an uneventful summer.

The Perkins Prima turbo diesel was used in Rover Maestros in 1993-94 and became the basis for the Rover L-series diesel for small cars (Rover's first direct injection diesel). Rover developed several diesels of their own and used at least two "bought in" diesels (VM and BMW). In the 1953 one could buy a Turner diesel conversion in 2 litre or 3 liter displacement for Land Rovers. Some discussions with Standard Triumph were held concerning the use of Ferguson tractor engines in Land Rovers, but as nothing came of the talks with Standard Triumph Rover began producing their own 2 litre diesel in 1956 which they later enlarged to 2.25 litres. This engine was also produced as a gasoline version and introduced in the Series 2 Land Rovers. It also was used in the P4 80 saloon. Though a diesel P4 saloon was produced experimentally, it never went into production. Rover also designed and built the 200TDi and 300TDi diesels for use in Land Rovers. The VM diesels from Italy were first used unsupercharged in the SD1 (2400D) and Range Rover and subsequently in the 800 series cars. Rover developed a diesel version of the aluminum V8 (Project Iceberg), but could not get it to hold together. Left over Iceberg crankshafts became the basis for the 4.2 liter V8 used in long wheelbase Range Rovers from 1993 til 1995. That was fun and I learned some stuff while digging this up. I think the only diesel Rovers we got in North America were 2.25 litre Land Rovers. Roverly, Kent K.

He has the car up on a Jaguar site, and I also stumbled across it on Craigslist this morning, along with some Jaguars: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/2904170821.html He promised me photos, but I have not seen them yet. It sounds like a solid project, but restoring an RM reiley, let alone a drophead, is not like restoring an MGB, with excellent parts availability. My primary concern would be the wooden body frame. I saw one that popped up on Hemmings nearby and I would have had to hire a full-time carpenter to make it right. Having said that, they are gorgeous cars that are extremely rare. Unfortunately, the rarity makes it hard to value, and most sellers think that the car is worth oodles of money, normally based on a few online listings in Europe. If I were anywhere near that car I would be taking a look, I can promise you that.

I am looking forward to it as Ialways do! I have been working hard getting my father's '56 Porsche Speedster all reassembled and running again. I am very excited to be progressing with this restoration, as this car got me into cars in the first place! Let me explain... Sorry, it is not a Rover! I used to play in our Porsche while I was waiting for the school bus. The Speedster was stored in a small shed, near the road, at the end of our driveway, for many years before we began to restore it. I am reassembling the car, at last, after a very long drawn out body shell restoration. We received the painted shell of the car back from the body shop last November. It was stuck in this body shop for 12 years until I went there and finished the metalwork myself!! My father bought this car in Boulder, Colorado in 1965 while he was in graduate school there. My parents were already married, while they were in college. My mother rode to the hospital to have me in this car in Boulder on March 21, 1967. After finishing school, the 3 of us drove in the Porsche back to Massachusetts, and then Maine, where it was parked for a long time, starting in 1970! I got our car running for the first time, that I ever remember, on my birthday, just a few days ago, 45 years after my parents brought me back from the hospital in it!! Please pardon the non Rover oriented material, but if it were not for this car, I may not be interested in Rovers, or I may not be here at all!! My best to you all!

That is quite a turn of events!! On the subject of XJ6s... Many of you know that I own a restoration shop. I do work on Rover cars, Land Rovers, Jaguars, Volvos and I do other projects that come my way. I have not been too busy lately and had been thinking about getting a supplementary job. I received a call from a vendor and shop that I buy parts from recently. I landed 2 very large jobs on referal!! The more noteworthy one is that I will be installing a modern Corvette engine in a '70s XJ6 2 door sedan and sending the car to its owner in Saudi Arabia!! I have been doing some reading and yes, the parts exist to do it...should be educational!! The moral of the story is be patient, you never know what will drop out of the sky and land at your feet!!

I got to know John's Cars as I installed a more modern transmission in a '66 Jaguar 3.8 SType, pictured in my website, last summer. The SType and other Jags of the period use the same transmission as the Rover 3 litre does. The GM transmission shifts more smoothly, is easier to rebuild and seal against leaking.

If you knew what I wanted why did you offer me something else?? If anyone is in doubt why don't you post your pictures of the car and my requirements next to it? As for having a 'history', yes I do, safely purchased 2 cars last year from California, unfortunately the third fell through as I had a change in circumstances. It's so easy to rubbish someones good name especially at a distance, personally I wouldn't do that to someone else even if I had nothing else to do.

Vern, you don't know me and are in no position to comment. Secondly, I don't like this 'us' and 'them' attitude. So being gracious I will delete my membership and stick with the UK forum as I am blown away by the attitudes I alone have encountered. Simply not going to lower myself to a level new to me. I wish you all goodluck but I want no part of this, would be easy for me to judge people I don't know but thankfully I have morals that stop me from doing it. > From: renovations.plus at hotmail.com > To: rovernet at rovernet.ca > Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:18:41 -0300 > Subject: Re: [Rovernet ] 3500S Nada Wanted > > > > > Thanks Vern :)...

I have no idea if the Dunlop wires follow that pattern. New hubs are required front and rear, the fronts are a straight swap but the rears require a different washer, nut & a circlip to attach the hub to the halfshaft (now I know what the groove in the end of the halfshaft is for). I've also only seen a 4cyl car with wires, so a P6B may have other issues.

There is a nice one in New York City (or was until a few years ago) that I have not heard from lately. I have one that is in process. All are RHD. Yours is the only LHD I know of and it is indeed beautiful. Dirk also has at least one P5B saloon.

P6 wires can be retrofitted to a P6B, though the rims will be narrower than the 5.5" standard on the V8 models at 14x5. Dunlop wires and hubs are still made in small quantities and thay can supply hubs for a P6 - hubs for MGs and so on are different http://www.mwsint.com/FitmentGuide/FindEntry.asp The use of bolt on adapters in place of proper fiitings can put the track out an inch or more which creates a problem with clearance on the rear wings.

I believe this as I have seen the damage caused to the plate that holds the diff in place also caused by torque.

I have no idea if the Dunlop wires follow that pattern. New hubs are required front and rear, the fronts are a straight swap but the rears require a different washer, nut & a circlip to attach the hub to the halfshaft (now I know what the groove in the end of the halfshaft is for). I've also only seen a 4cyl car with wires, so a P6B may have other issues. > > Yours > Vern > > > On 2012-03-29, at 2:03 PM, <jaguru at bellsouth.net> <jaguru at bellsouth.net> wrote: > > > > > I have a customer who says he has MWS Dunlop wire wheels for his Rover P6B, but wants to buy adapters.
