I have set the recorder for an upcoming programme on April 30th at 5.30 a.m. on Talking Pictures. It is half an hour on Rover cars being built and tested in 1931. A search on YouTube has not turned it up although the cognoscenti may already be aware of it.

Turning the nut up, ie to the right, weakens the mixture, the reverse being true for enriching.it. On the 37 car you have, I am presuming you have an access hatch in the boot floor to the fuel pipe pick up. Have you an electric reserve or a mechanical tap at the back for it? Either way it should be ...

I don't know if these two pictures will show you anything you don't already know already. In one of them, you'll see a rubber seal of hollow round section the restorer of this particular car added. Some have sponge sections, some none. The other photo shows the line of screws along the roof . Not to...

Good morning, I read your post last night, thought I knew the answer and then realised I didn't and so I have been and looked and thought a bit more this morning. Your design of sun roof is right enough, although the workshop manual detail is maybe brief in this particular. I am going to attach some...

I have two prewar cars with have been fitted with telescopic shock absorbers, the one a 37 Rover 10 and the other a 1933 Lanchester 15/18. The Rover was restored some years ago by a chap called Derek Brown and he kept copious records of everything -- except the shock absorbers ! I have it currently ...

Screenshot_20260323-192543.png I read your post but as I have never had a P3, I thought I wasn't in the best position to reply to you. However, in the apparent absence of something more informative, I thought the attached photo might be of use. It shows the bent piece of pipe being towards the fron...

Dear Thomas, Regarding 123 distributors. This is just a suggestion. I have only had one 123 distributor and strangely enough, I bought it for a Volvo 123GT. The car seemed a bit lethargic to me coming from Triumphs and Rovers and I suspected an ignition fault that was eluding me. However, I can trut...

Well done with the photos ! Screenshot_20260307-101615.png Right this minute, this may not be the greatest help to you but the picture above shows the new switch I bought and fitted. However, after about three years but 100 miles, it has stopped working again and as the car in question is one that h...

The choke switch on my 47 12 is a small rectangular device which sits in the aluminum rear of head casting. Is that what one of yours is ? There are triangularish switches (Otter?) that do a similar job but so far I haven't seen one on a P2. Unfortunately, your photo(s) haven't turned up, it may hav...

Dear Helmuth,
The Club's 1939-47 Master Parts List reprint contains the 1947 Tourer supplement. This consists of lists by section of the different parts used in the Tourer. Maybe you are looking for an original but ,if not, the reprint would seem to be a good buy and comes as a nice new clean book !
