Hi Roy
It couldn't be the freewheel could it? It may be worth checking it's locked - if you haven't already.

Funny you should mention bronze nuts, Tony - as you say they're a bit scarce these days, but...I was having an idle browse on ebay earlier and came across a guy selling bronze nuts. He had various sizes but all RH thread so no good for RHD Rovers. Asking price was £100 each. Len, I had my post-war 1...

Yes the large bolt secures the motor to the aluminium housing. I think you'll need to remove the motor and housing as one item by undoing the 3 nuts which attach to the flywheel housing, as the oil pressure relief gets in the way of removing just the motor.

So it depends which cylinder you take as no. 1. Returning to ...

Hi I fitted relays to my 12 a while ago to reduce the loading on the light and dip switches. I didn't think to include a flasher which would have the more useful mod as the car doesn't get a lot of use in the dark! Generally speaking relays aren't polarity sensitive but some do have an internal supr...

Thanks, Eric. Best of luck - I look forward to hearing of your success!

Hi Eric Thanks for the extra pic. I've realised that I won't be able to get the arms off the stub-axles without a press so I've measured them as accurately as possible in situ. Both pairs exactly match your dimensions and the holes are tapered so that the ball joints fit on top. So the arms appear t...
