Hello Nicolas, I should have said, I have been using radials for 10 years now, and have never had any trouble. 185/75 R 16 or 175 R 16 are the tyres used on London taxis, they are also used on Ford transit twin wheel vans so you will have no trouble getting them. A good make is Tigar Cargospeed. Rob...

Hello Chris, The wheel is Superb, I took it to my local ATS, they fitted my radial tyre and tube, balanced it, and I am good to go. I now have the crossply tyre to deal with. If you know of anyone who wants it tell them to get in touch. Cheers Robert.

Hello,
Is it worth trying Radweld before you go to the expense of a new radiator core? I am sure your local motor factors will be able to help/advise you
Rad weld is readily available in the UK, Try eBay
Cheers, Robert

Hello , I have found that the P3 75 engine is not liable to overheat. A temperature of 85 degrees is perfectly OK. In fact on a hot Summers day driving( with the wind)mine reaches 90 degrees which is what modern cars run at. The time to worry is when you see clouds of steam coming out of everywhere....

I recently bought a 16" wheel and tyre for my P3 . The wheel is good for me but the tyre is a 575/600x16.( I am on radials)
It is a good tyre, old but unused (no cracks, no perishing ) Call me on 07415239471 or 01476 563614.

Does anyone have a decent P3 16" wheel I could purchase ? At a push a 17" wheel and tyre would help out as a spare.

Hello Andrew, Do you still have Rover P3 17" wheels and tyres for sale? I need one for my P3 75. How much are you asking for it and where are you ? I am in Lincolnshire but willing to travel up to 100 miles or else we could arrange a courier to deliver. Many Thanks, Robert Scott
