Note though that the sun roof of the 10 is different from the sun roofs of all other models. A detailed description can be found in the latest edition of the RSR workshop manual. Also go to the Rover P3 & All Running Board Rovers Group in face book where a Swedish member has restored the sun roof of...

The length and shape are super critical since this unit keeps the camshaft bearing from rotating on the engine side and reduces the amount of oil that can pass through it on the other side. See discussion here: https://wp.me/pXLKy-21U and here https://wp.me/pXLKy-1Wo but the correct hose is availabl...

I have good experience with Steering Services, Simon. P. Everett tel 01932481882 sales@steeingservices.co.uk . Working with him from far away was smooth and effective.

Have you tried Mike Couldry or Mike Evans? both used to have a substitute until their supplier retired, but may be they found a new one. Test the seal in boiling water to verify that it expands and not leaks. Also make sure that that both surfaces are smooth and perpendicular to the axis otherwise t...

I assume you already removed the back of pump (p.n. 133 in the lay-out, see link). With the pulley in place, and using a cloth, put it in a vice and tighten carefully. Apply a lot of DW40 on the 3/8 BSF nut and release it. The thermo flex seal will come out, most probably in a bad condition. See mor...

I am even further away... but have recalled that Rover gave a way of adjusting some of the brakes mechanism from above. Remove the back seat. The floor under it is removable and gives you good access to the adjusters and some of the forks and pins. The same of the floor in front of the front seats. ...

The compression tube is activated by the pedal only, not the other way around. If you look under the car, you will see a rod going down from the hand brake lever to the cross shaft . (see picture in the link https://wp.me/pXLKy-1pg) It ends with one or two 5/16 BSF nuts, they are used to adjust the ...

The purpose of the compression tube is to allow the handbrake to function as an emergency brake. The whole idea of the Girling system is to be a differential system, meaning all shoes get the same pressure. and the compensators take care of that. Now suppose that a pin of the front brakes is lost, o...

Bad head gasket would show up with babels in the water, water disappearing or water in the oil. If these symptoms don't exist the head gasket is OK. I would suggest just let it run for few hours, using thicker oil. The engine may run in and cure itself.
