I have found SUs like a rich idle, but due to spindle air leaks are usually lean. Hence stalling under brakes. (for the TC) Emery the needle in a drill, take it down in the last 1/8" by 1 thou all round.

All the time I was fiddling with the timing and mixture, I had a big lump of crud stuck in the fuel supply line to the pump. I discovered this artifact when on (another) test run and the thing slowed to a standstill. A coathanger up the pipe, administered at the side of the road soon restored priper flow and within an hour or so everything was fine again. I used the colortune to adjust the mixture down from very rich, with a bright orange color to just on the borderline blue. But when the engine is slowly opened up the color remains blue. That worked for my 2000TC nicely, but I think it is easier for some reason to see the color change with mixture adjustment on that motor. I still can't really tell when it is too weak, hence I start at the rich end and work down. Good thing is that my fuel problem led me to install new plug leads, disassemble the carbs and clean them, install new fuel filters, and remove a bunch of crappy old vacuum hose so I came out ahead... Thanks to all for help from the bleachers.

Then, are we sure of the low mileage? This could be a reason for paying it 3500 euros, baut after a careful check. I sold a 3500 S Mexico Brown for a symbolic price, but it was a parts car - I tought - and I never tried to turn the engine up. The mechanic told me it was not seized and after an accurate, especially electric, clean, it turned up immediately. Now he's repairing it, probably there's a blown head gasket, but he's able to repair it on his own and he told me that it is only a bit blown. That's what happens!!

Alsop there there were some interesting cars, for example a mercedes 220 in very good conditions of the late sixties, not the diesel one I mean, and some rovers. I remmember a p5 which was later sold, and some mini 90. This was the italian Mini, a national cat produced by Innocenti , wghich was very popular at that time and now very rare. I saw one of these sonme days ago. http://www.pagine70.com/vmnews/wmview.php?ArtID=578 Have a llok at this link.

It has been a bit tough lately down in these parts. As PeterHutt sends in BruceRover, we have lost friends from Roves. There are over 200 dead now from " that Saturday Night". Meanwhile here in Qld, today, we have a Cat 5 cyclone (Hurricane - Typhoon ) running down the Great Barrier Reef. I am nervous. I can handle windy weather, flooding but I have problems with incinaration. The smell of burnt people, looses me.. Peter and all, all around the world, the Fire is a mongel.. We are gambling in Qld tonight that Cyclone Hamish will nick off into the middle of the south Coral Sea and blow himself away. If Hamish comes ashore he will wreck a lot of houses and boats. If he turns around to the west at Wide Bay and then goes South a bit, He will fill our Dams for Ten Years. Some houses will get wrecked, hopefully everyone survives. Hamish has been Cat 5. He is a worry. The Big Easy Copped that. there is already a Trawler missing in the Swains Reefs, one of the most difficult places to navigate in the world. Great Fishing. Nowhere for Storm Safety. Lee Marvin has been in there. Tonight, in SE Queensland we are worried about getting slapped around by a big cyclone. It is less than 250 miles away at the moment, it was cat. 5 but now is headed out into the the Tasman Sea, we hope.. BruceRover and PeterHutt, I have sent some dough south via Toll, RedCross a nd TWU. I am hoping that a little bit will go North for the Floods and that Red Cross won't muck around like they usually do. We have got $200M thrown into the kitty, that has got to fix a few things. Just had an old mate on the phone for a while, burnt out Crashing out, how do you fix Marysville ? That is just out past Peter Brocks territory. Burnt Out, Mwj. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I did this two years ago on my TC and it's still going stonge.

Message-ID: <C5E1A326.6234%rababiuk@telusplanet.net> I'll be sending my radiator out for a re-core while the bottom rebuild is being done. How many rows are standard for a 1970 TC radiator? Any need or benefit to adding an extra row? Any reason not too? I also see that many P6 owners in Britain add an electric fan ahead of the radiator.

Unlinke a conventional fan it doesn't sap power and slow throttle response all the time. On top of that it allows the engine to heat up quicker from cold and aid cooling in traffic. (useful in the UK's crowed streets).

Message-ID: <ced.528ff7cb.36ef99a0@aol.com> Hi Paul and All, Many decades ago I really started to contemplate "Regenerative Braking". My Dad first mentioned the subject to me when I was just a kid. He was a pretty good Industrial Chemist and Physicist. He is still around, just gave up those disciplines almost half a century ago. When I discovered that Ferdinand Porsche' first car was electric with a motor in each wheel and first shown in 1901, these things got my attention . In 1901 redundant and double redundant systems would have been unthought of, so the first Porsche unfortunately had some problems and didn't succeed. However with modern micro- electronics and integrated circuits the same basic design would.... So how do we drive our electric fans and other goodies. Big Truck alternators, 150 amps or up, sell for around $400 in Oz. They do 5-8,000 hours before failure, two and a half to four years around town, then get recycled. On a car, forever... One of the projects that I wish to get to, is to stick a giant alternator on the side of one of my Rover V8's and put some micro-electronics in place that makes sure it only makes zundefolge when I stick my foot on the Brake Pedal. That is prettly basic. On a trip to Sydney we would probably finish up with a flat battery. So we have to add some other electronics. We need to pump up the accumulater at every opputunity. If we could get into the Toyota Motor Generator, the elecs would be be sorted . The point of this, is that some of you guys who have more electronic ability than I should take an advance into Rover Ecology. You put fossil remains into your Rover to make it go fast, we should retreive as much as we can. Regenerative stuff. So you are worried about HydoCarbons, lets stretch them as far as I can. The electrics have to be powered by DeCelerative Inertia. Love to do this one day. I have burnt out again. Regards, MWJ.

This includes the tinted windscreen which is not illegal here. Albert's NAS P6B w/o A/C (California car) has tinted glass all around. All my NAS P6B's with A/C have tinted glass. My 452 car (Series 2 RHD export) has tinted glass all around but I doubt that it was original as the car is heavily modified. I'd be interested to know if anyone has a NAS P6B w/o AC that came without tinted glass. Roverly, Kent K. Ray Wilkins wrote: > Adrian must have a dyslexic computer!

I will go on using Nyc7, it was only to know. in these days the mechanic is repairing the car, because the starter engine has gone. Sparkles were very dirty, I did not know because the car was going well but one sunday the engine did not start. air filters were ok, carburettors were ok so I tried and tried, it turned up but I took too long the key in the starting position so the starting engine has gone. With the occasion I will change the sparklesand i will buy again Nyc7.

Sparkles were very dirty, I did not know because the car was going well but one sunday the engine did not start. air filters were ok, carburettors were ok so I tried and tried, it turned up but I took too long the key in the starting position so the starting engine has gone. With the occasion I will change the sparklesand i will buy again Nyc7.

I now use N7Y and have noticed an improvement in running. The N7Y is a hotter spark plug, but I haven't noticed any pre-ignition (pinging) so I think I'm okay.

(for example, he adds the inefficiency of the alternator to the electrical side, but that inefficiency is on the mechanical side of the equation) The effect is to exaggerate the misconception he is talking about. And it is important to note that P6s have a direct drive fan, which continues to draw increasing amounts of power up until it begins to cavitate at something like 4000 rpm. But as I said, the gist is correct.

No clutch and no thermal control on a P6, and it assumes the pulley fan works as well at cooling (er no...). It also assumes you do not need assisted cooling above 20mph, which is bunk on a decent hillclimb. It does not look at the mech inefficiency of the viscous coupling.

AFAIK, most factory fitted electric fan sets are used due to underbonnet space restrictions than performance. My imported 3.5LV8 '76 2 door Rangie had a factory fitted "tropical" radiator (an extra row of cooling fins) to cope with the Oz climate. Would run all day in low gear cruising the steep High Country tracks. I almost never heard the viscous/fan assembly get to the temp where it would lock solidly. The coupling mechanical inefficiency is deliberate, they will only lock solidly at their set maximum airflow temp. (you can certainly hear the air roar when this happens!!) At all lower temps they deliberately slip to reduce power drag and noise level and allow the thermostat to do it's thing. I am retro fitting a new AU$200 Oz Defender/Rangie viscous to my P6B ..... should give me no cooling problems AND run much quieter and more economically at higher revs. No need to uprate my alt to handle the 18 extra amps needed to supply dual 12" Davis Craig fans. Their advertised life is 1500 hrs at 80 degrees C (approx 2 years at 2 hrs a day) To me KISS is king - (and cheaper).

A much better and small alternator with higher amps,, well the fan doesnt do much cool as for driving but in traffic or at idle is the only difference in temp,, and much inproved.? along with the electric fan i had put a temp on /off switch, what i did was drilled a hole on top of the thermostate housing, with very littel thread being careful and screwed in the sensor.? The car is a daily driver now,, i had done this abiout a year ago......thanks? Nelson O'R. P4 Rover 1951 75 P4 Rover 1953 75 P4 Rover 1964 110?

It's a 1973 but I think even the earlier Interceptors are the same. Some years back I stripped a '71 or '72 Mercedes 280SE which also had an electric fan. It's still sitting in my parts stash, waiting for me to come up with a use for it.

So, I had a pair of electric pancake fans added in front of the radiator to push additional air. Because of the compact design of the engine compartment there was not sufficent room to install a thermostat, so I had a a manual switch installed. When in heavy traffic or up a very long grade, I would turn them on. Made quite a difference, particularly in traffic. Any good radiator shop should be abble to handle this. I used Mac's Radiator in Portland, OR.

Alternative is camber is positive there. Stick to the book figure maximum for castor (0.5), and aim for 0 camber. Shimming under the top arm mounts can fix minor amounts of either. You should correct the spring lengths too if shimming, but that is hard.

I bought a large spanner to fit the lock nut on the track rod ends. I loosened the nuts in my garage. I put "Never Seize" compound on the exposed threads. I tightened up the nuts and drove to my tire shop who also claimed to do "laser" alignment. I bought a photocopy of that section of the workshop manual that dealt with alignment, the spanner, and a very large pair of "Vice Grips (Mole grips)" to rotate the track rod as the alignment technician was adjusting the wheels for "toe-in". His electronic equipment provided a before and after print-out of the alignment information. The final result was well within the technical specs.

But with the purchase of 2 long perfectly straight pieces of l" x 4" lumber, and laying each carefully on blocks adjacent to the wheels, it was possible to measure the distances to the rim edges of the wheels for a zero toe-in or toe-out. The full weight of the car must be on a level surface (shop floor) and the front wheels, of course, in as near straight ahead as possible. Get the picture? It worked for me without going to an alignment shop, but cost lies in buying the lumber!

Here in Oz., she's headed for the centreline. I think Steven is in the Eastern Pacific, so she's headed for the kerb. It is always just about impossible to get the Castors equal, so I used to make the "error" on the side closest to the kerb, that is I would allow it to be slightly more positive. This would tend to make the car try to drive up the camber of the road.You can never get the Castors equal so this is the best alternative. However, before even taking the car to the suspension shop, make sure it is not the tyres. Change the fronts from one side to the other and see if that has an effect. P6's are an incredibly hard car to get right if the front alignment is out. Toe in is not too hard but they look as though that was all the factory intended to be adjusted. However because of the way the longitudinal upper conrol arms bracket bolts to the firewall, Castor and Camber can also be adjusted. Camber is easy once going this deep into the trim under the dash, if I remember correctly (it has been over 30 years). Your thinnest shims can make major changes to Camber on a P6. Castor is a much bigger problem due to the amount of shims that have to be added. Put some in, check it again, have another go, get the camber right again. Four bolts (from Memory) each time and a bit of a "wrestle and lever" with that upper control arm. I think from vague memory, I had to have a helper, the spring was the "Wrestling Opponent". This usually happens because the car has had a prang, hit from the side on a front wheel. Undiagnosed damage is that the Firewall structure is probably bent. A unique problem I woke up to in the era was that the pivot of the upper control arm may be different from side to side. I think the only car I know of that can have this problem is the P6. I had one come back after I spent hours trying to get it right and I was sure it was right but the owner complained that it was a Pig, under brakes, it was supposedly going all over the joint. I had a discussion with the bloke and discovered that he only had the problem bigtime when on the long windy road to his Suburb in the outer north of Sydney. Seems he was cracking 105 MPH on the straights ( which was "Prima Facie" legal back then in NSW). So I took it for one of my favourite "Blats", down past a Girls School in Cremorne, (the nearest Girls School to the Girls School where Elle MacPherson went to School ), a suburban street where I had been over 90 mph, the P6b got over 75, then approaching the next intersection I nailed the brakes to pull her up. As the nose dropped, she just went all over the joint, as I tried to correct the weirdness. A very strange car. I took it back to the workshop, put it over the pit and had a deep and meaningfull discussion with the owner. The owner then told me he had been in a rather large prang with the car in the Sydney CBD. I was just a half reasonable front end mechanic in the best place to be on the spanners in Oz at the time and this Guy was a fairly serious Company Director. A mate of my Boss. Apparently, he had been at an inner city intersection, when the lights went green. Couldn't see to his right but the bus beside him took off in the turn right lane, so he did too. Suddenly the Bus stopped, he couldn't stop as quick and stuck his nose out in front, whereupon this XJ6 that had run the red light took off most of his RHF corner. He also gave the back guard a bit of a bang when it got spun into the bus. The Jag spun on down the road and was a real mess. Knocked over a couple of traffic lights and hit a couple of other cars. Win for the Poms - everyone opened the doors and stepped out.!!! The Jag was a write off, the Rover wasn't quite but it had all sorts of stuff replaced, including a cut and shut on the RHF lower A Pillar Firewall Rail and sill for starters. When I went down to Neutral Bay and harrassed my customers who had fixed the car, I discovered that the appys had done the job. I had a big win there. The kids had jigged the wreck up perfectly, picked away all the damaged panels, removed the damaged RHF Rail, attached the new one and starting with a new bit of firewall cut from a new part set about getting the windscreen apperture right. Along with the doors and Bonnett. Wrong P6's are different. When they Porta Powered the newly welded in bits of Firewall to meet up with the A Pillar so the Windscreen would fit, they cocked the mounting points for the upper arm over by about 15 -18 degrees. So as you turned left at speed and the car heeled over, you got massive under steer. Nail the brakes at high speed and it turned left. The outer end of that upper arm was going to the outside as the suspension compressed. Lovely car. This all from vague memory. I'm tired again.

Simply take a piece of aluminum tubing or PVC pipe 3/8 to 1/2 inch inside diameter, cut it about a foot shorter than the distance between the wheels (inside). You will also need apiece of wooden dowel rod small enough to fit inside the tubing. Drill a small hole (1/8 inch)?in the tubing?in a location that will leave the dowel rod exposed enough to extend to reach the wheel rim allowing enough for the spring that will also be inserted?(not a critical measurement), insert a cotter pin through this hole. Drop a small coil spring (available at most any hardware store) into the tube. Insert the dowel rod, cut to the length that will fit the assembly between the wheel with spring tension. Install the device towards the rear of the wheels at the maximum height that you can without interfering with the frame. Measure the distance from the device to the ground for reference as you will use the same measurement later. Put a piece of masking tape around the exposed dowel near the end of the tubing, but leave enough dowel exposed to measure from the tubing should to the tape. Then roll the car forward until the device is at the same height above the ground as the previous measurement and again measure the distance from the tubing end to the tape.

The castor goes slightly more positive as the suspension dives, and the camber negative. However the effect is not as great as uneven tyre pressures. I run mine at 33psi.

Simply take a piece of aluminum tubing or PVC pipe 3/8 to 1/2 inch inside diameter, cut it about a foot shorter than the distance between the wheels (inside). You will also need apiece of wooden dowel rod small enough to fit inside the tubing. Drill a small hole (1/8 inch)?in the tubing?in a location that will leave the dowel rod exposed enough to extend to reach the wheel rim allowing enough for the spring that will also be inserted?(not a critical measurement), insert a cotter pin through this hole. Drop a small coil spring (available at most any hardware store) into the tube. Insert the dowel rod, cut to the length that will fit the assembly between the wheel with spring tension. Install the device towards the rear of the wheels at the maximum height that you can without interfering with the frame. Measure the distance from the device to the ground for reference as you will use the same measurement later. Put a piece of masking tape around the exposed dowel near the end of the tubing, but leave enough dowel exposed to measure from the tubing should to the tape. Then roll the car forward until the device is at the same height above the ground as the previous measurement and again measure the distance from the tubing end to the tape. The difference is your top-in or toe-out. This device will probably cost you less than $5, stores easily and works like a charm. A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Although Baldwin no longer makes this filter, NOS seems to be available from Filter-Fab (931.526.3146), for $7.76 (American) with an minimum order of 12. It must be a Baldwin filter that you order, as other "crossovers"manufacturers attached to P188 are not comparable. ________________________________ From: Gordon Harrower <gharrower200 at gmail.com> To: The original list for Rover car enthusiasts. <rovernet at rovernet.ca> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 8:44:41 PM Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] Oil Filter for P5 Is the oil filter (paper element) used in the P5 and Land Rover 2.6 used in any more-common cars?

After Saturday practise, we all finished up back in the workshop trying to solve the problem of Oil Surge, on the straights. We learnt what was causing it later on that sunday. However, during the engine out time, we also changed the front sub frame back from an experimental setup to a conventional Brick rubber setup. We changed the Sub Frames. Big Night. Approaching 3.00am I was handed the job of setting up the chassis. So, I have this tottally stuffed crew trying to level and square this car and I didn't have any of my regurlar gear. With a couple of spirit levels, four jack stands and string lines (like a F5000 frame), a steel ruler and a kids school protractor that we found all the angles within half an hour and was out of the joint by 4 am. Back at 9am. we missed the Oil Surge cause, the car went briliantly for 18 laps of a 20 lap race and then blew its gear box to bits. That wrecked the engine as well. Anybody who as ever had a Brick engine in bits will understand. Started this reply about tuesday night, truck time got in the way. Must read the rest of the reponces and then reply further. Key, when setting Toe-In, just make sure that the steering box is on centre. Burnt out try to finish tomorrow. Regards, Mark Jones. P.S. My friend Christine, secretary of the Morris Minors, has invited me to their Annual Aussie event at Southbank here in Bris., at Easter, if anyone is interested.

Under "contact us" I filled in their form to request they contact me when they have P 188 filters in stock. I have just one left on my shelf and I will put it in soon. When I tried to re-order a month or so ago I was told they are no longer available. Possibly if several of us on this list put in a similar request Baldwin will set up and do a run.

I'm an automotive journalist, presently working on a story for AutoWeek magazine (USA) about a 1923 air-cooled Rover 8. I got to drive the car in India, of all places, and simply need a little additional information from experts (i.e. you) to complete the article. Hope you'll be able to help with 2 quick questions: --What was the price of a Rover 8 circa 1923? --And what might be the value of the car today? Any and all insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! And I'll be sure to ask AutoWeek to mail you a copy of the magazine once the story is published.

The air cooled engine never missed a beat , although the exhaust pipes glowed cherry red at times.
