Dear Andy, That is very good of you to let us know the outcome. If it is some slight consolation, I bought a 1926 car from a (then) well known specialist in the make and after the delivery driver had left, I went to start the car and the starter literally fell into about 15 pieces! Fortunately, I wa...

Dear Andy, In addition to the excellent advice from Tony, can I add that the sleeve is also available from John Wearing who also say they make them, or have them made exclusively - photo of their part below : https://www.johnwearingp4parts.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=260046 When you take the starter a...

Good, I was going to change my original reply as I remembered that when describing how the shaft comes off, that only applies to the later designs. The earlier models have the winder going straight up into the back of the casing which is held on by small countersunk screws. Chrome bezels were fitted...

Take nothing apart. The clock should not require any dismantling. For a 1937 12 (or 14), the Rover part no for the clock is 05350 and for a 10 of the same year it is 05349.Th 05349 has a much longer winder rod projecting from 6 o clock whereas the winder I think you need should project from the casi...

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...
