[ROVERNET - UK] Rover parts order

Hi All,

I am placing a large order with Scotts Old Rubber this week and plan to have
it sea freighted over. If anyone would like to add something on to my order
(and it is not large) I am willing to pay for the sea freight and then ship
it out to you when it comes in to me. You would just need to pay for
domestic shipping US/Canada and of coarse your items with Scott. My order is
extensive so I expect it to be a crate that will have to be used so there
should be room for other stuff.

Let me know
Dirk

Nothing is broken this is just a question.  When I turn on the headlamps on
my 1966 NADA 2000 TC, WHY do the front parkinglamps turn off?  I do know 
how
it is done, I just want to know why.  Thanks for your help.

G'day Ted,
                  The P76 was a Leyland Car built in Australia and 
released onto the market at a time of tremendous rises in the price of 
fuel. A few websites refer to the P76 as a Rover P7.  The V8 motor often 
known as the Terrier V8 was quite a versatile beast and was used in a 
number of applications including school buses in South Australia. The 
sedan was an unusual looking design, though not wholly unpleasing. The 
Targa Florio was a rare model and quite highly prized. They had a coupe 
version known as the Force Seven which was a really wild looking 
car....there was (used to be??) an example in the Birdwood Mill Motor 
Museum (in South Australia).

John,
The sidelights are supposed to remain on.
<http://www.roverclub.ca/P6circuitdiag.html>

It may be that there is a wiring misconnection that
needs to be resolved.

The headlight switch gets a feed from terminal 4 on
the sidelight switch and enter the headlight switch at
terminal 1.  When the sidelight switch is thrown,
there is a feed on a red wire through contact 1 to the
sidelights.  At the same time, power is made available
to the headlight switch and then onwards to the
headlights if the headlight switch is engaged.

There is no "turning off" function when the headlights
are selected.

Eric

Thank you Mike
Since posting the question, Eric Russell has sent me several sites that give

a history of the car. How little I know! After mulling it over with Eric, I 
am going to let the dust settle and stick with finishing the TC before 
starting up another project. I just wish my herd of 3500s was closer to BC, 
I would be hauling them over to Eric's yard today!!

Hi John,

I can imagine, that, when turning on the headlamps, you intend to drive and
not to park. So, there's no longer any need for the the parking lamps to be
switched on. Perhaps, this may be the guiding idea of the Rover engineers?

I wondered if it was some strange US requirement - Pommie wiring doesn't
have that "feature".
The Poms do have enough brains to turn off headlights on motorways though -
we aren't that smart.

I think during certain periods all USA Rovers were wired so that the parking

lights went out when the headlights came on.  The switch offers a variety of

ways to connect and it may only be necessary to switch wire connections on 
the back side.

  The P76 was known colloquially as the P38 for obvious reasons.
