Dear Willem, I would be very hopeful that the cause of the problem will be reasonably apparent once a very close look at all the dimensions is made. I was just thinking, something I am finding increasingly useful, is one of those endoscope cameras you can now buy for reasonable money, although mine ...

Dear Willem, I can only speculate based on my own experience two years ago replacing the clutch in my 1935 12 sports saloon. Now, your symptoms are different from what mine were because my clutch wouldn't disengage, once reassembled. Having had it to bits and back together in a week then apart again...

I thought that these two cars coming up for auction on the 13th of June might be of interest with the estimate for the first being £5000 - £7000 and £8000 - £10000 for the second. https://www.prewarcar.com/904980-1929-rover-10-25-sportsman-coupe I know nothing about the car, have never seen it in th...

On a car run yesterday, a fellow local member produced the item in the attached photo for me. It is a notepad holder, presumably for a salesman to have on his desk. As he was giving it to me, another club member appeared with an item for me which I immediately recognised as a Rolls coil of the late ...

There were several different drop arms fitted to Rover 10s over the years. 59246 in 1934, 01134 in 1935, 40461 in 1936 - 38, 42696 in 39-46 then 212737 in 1947. The coupe had a separate part no, 42697. These are not necessarily common to the other Rover models so the chances of finding exactly the d...

Dear David, I have been the past week sorting a non charging issue. The root of the problem was a newish loom which was not quite the right one for the car then a friend needed a failing RF95 replaced with an RB106 and separate fuses. While doing these I was thinking of your question. That front bol...

I was just thinking about your car as I carry out a rewire , plenty of time to think ! If you hadn't said that the car was going all right at times I would have suggested the plug lead order. 1243 is a slightly unusual order, used by Riley and Rover, whereas 1342 was used on Austin, Morris,Alvis and...

Before touching on your three questions , from what you've said, the symptoms you describe do sound like two things (in reverse order of likelihood !): 1) a sticking piston in the carburettor. I had two P2s, a 12 and a 14, which both suffered from this and they were a bit of a bother but my current ...

I have set the recorder for an upcoming programme on April 30th at 5.30 a.m. on Talking Pictures. It is half an hour on Rover cars being built and tested in 1931. A search on YouTube has not turned it up although the cognoscenti may already be aware of it. Update - just watched it and rather good it...

Turning the nut up, ie to the right, weakens the mixture, the reverse being true for enriching.it. On the 37 car you have, I am presuming you have an access hatch in the boot floor to the fuel pipe pick up. Have you an electric reserve or a mechanical tap at the back for it? Either way it should be ...
