Re: P2 tourer at Brightwells
I won’t be reupholstering, but the carpets are probably finest sitting room,so do need replacing! The driver door card looks as it has kept a family of mice well fed, so will need attention,it looks like a green Rexine, I have seen Rexine remanufactured when I was doing an early Austin Seven,but the...

Re: P2 tourer at Brightwells
That’s the plan!
It appears to be pretty unmolested, not rebuilt. Some useful spares, some new, but a few potential boat anchors!
I will post an update when I have had a good look, and..I hope… get it running.

Re: Rover 14 - 1935 - spark plugs - standard or extended reach?
That is a very impressive result...I see that these plugs are specified for modern cars such as the Toyota Prius...so designed for modern fuels. Here in UK most "classics" I think will use 5% ethanol (98 or so Octane) whereas the Prius etc will be using 10% ethanol. I have no idea how that may affec...

P2 Workshop manual 1987
In have a fifth issue P2 workshop manual in a green spring binder. It came with my car, but appears unused! I have invested in the latest version as this one does not yet include sections B,D,N,P,R. It is an interesting & mostly useful bit of RSR history. Quite heavy (about 1300g) Would any one like...

Re: Recent travels
Earth strap fitted. All now working as it should.
Drove the car to North Shropshire on Thursday (nice sunny day). Did not use the motorway, but up the A 51 etc. Busy road, but traffic kept up with me ☺☺. No problems, the new (2022) radiator almost over cools the engine in winter (60-70C) !

Re: Rewinding a fuel reserve solenoid
Well, for a new solenoid, steel parts re-plating, pressure testing for cracks in the tubes, reassembly and test etc about £200!... A new one is about £500 from them :shock: Maybe a Christmas present to myself! perhaps a glass panel in the boot floor so it can be gazed at in wonder! Luli said he just...

Re: Rewinding a fuel reserve solenoid
I have taken the easy way out and taken my dismantled unit to Four Ashes Garage (who are a couple of miles from me). They have remade them for (primarily) DB Aston Martins ( and price the accordingly) They also do them to suit Rover, Bristol, Armstrong etc

Re: Starter motor 12 tourer p2
Sorted! All revealed in the Travels section (should have said travails perhaps!) The Starter motor had moved in the housing because the locating bolt was being used as a clamp and the starter had moved backwards. Locate it in the right place with the dog point in the locating hole...all good. Simples!
