Re: Air filter identification

The master parts list shows this: http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r764/lulisml/silencer1_zpsac9edc19.jpg p.n. 50234 This is confirmed by what the instruction manual of the 10 and 12 for cars numbered 6110048, 6210051 and 6230001 onwards shows: http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r764/lulisml/sil...

Re: Fuel sender wiring

What you see indicates an open circuit. Try this: take a conductor and short momenterily the live condutor at the sender (on the petrol tank) to the case of the sender. The guage indication should go th empty. If it does not, try to short it to a known good "ground". If it goes to empty there, then ...

Re: Petrol tank reserve valve 1939 10HP

I did. You can read about it here: http://wp.me/pXLKy-iO and here: http://wp.me/pXLKy-1nF . I gave the solenoid coil to a local shop for re-winding: this is a simple operation. Some leaks had been detected using a hand-held vacuum pump, and cured with Loxeel. Without rectifing the leaks vapour locks...

Re: Rover 10hp 1939, electrics.

I also used the Autospark loom to re-wire my 1947 Rover 10, and found that it has several merits.

The wiring diagram of the Rover is drawn in accordance with the loom and the correct po...

Re: Rover 10hp 1939 Harmonic Balancer-Bumper

During the 1939 - 1947 priod Rover had 3 different types of front bumpers. Type 1 had the harmonic stabilizer, unlike the others. My 1946 10 is fitted with type 1, and the 1947 with type 2. I do not feel any difference in their behavior. Incidentally, the harmonic stabilizer is one of the two patent...
