I have followed the other discussion regarding radial tyres on P4s with great interest, and decided to try a second-hand set on my car to see what difference it made. Admittedly these tyres are probably pretty old now, as I am not too sure when Dunlop stopped making 185SR15 SP tyres, but I found the...

I have been approached by a fellow NZ Rover Car Club member in Auckland who is trying to find out where he can get a spare key for his 75. His car was imported second-hand from Japan and only came with one key. Although it works perfectly he is concerned that should it break or get lost, his car wou...

Thanks, I will see if I can persuade it into the space behind the instruments.

Hi Neal, Thanks for your reply. There is no shelf in my P4, and if I attached it to the underside of the panel under the instruments, I would be grave danger of kicking it every time I get in the car. This has me totally baffled, as short of taking the dashboard out, the box wont fit through any of ...

Well I have bought the set, which is complete with both boxes and connecting cables. Praise be, it also seems to work, at least on the bench, I have not fitted it yet. Next problem, just where are you supposed to fit the amplifier and power unit? It must be within 2 feet of the control box and louds...

Thanks Paul, that certainly clarifies things a bit, though I still dont know what model it is. I have seen them quoted as Radiomobile 4220, but they have an HMV label on them, so I have to assume either they were built by one company or the other, under licence, or that Radiomobile and HMV were actu...

Hi Paul, Great to hear from you, and hope you and your folk are keeping well. Yes, your radio is the type I meant. I have been offered one for my P4, but will need to find technical advise for restoring it. I understand from some literature that there should be two parts, the section visible and ano...

Can anyone tell me what the model HMV Valve Radio was fitted to the Rover P4, up to around 1958? This is the radio with the speaker to the side of the verticle tuning scale and knobs, rather than above them. I would also be interested in where I might find technical information about them, too. Many...

Many thanks for everyone who came up with ideas, however it was my son who made the ultimately successful suggestion, "Why not turn it round?" It pulled off easily, and was still really flexible enough to wind around the bends, so starting from the top of the hatch, by the high level brake light, I ...
