If you take a closer look at the left and right ends of the "hole" you can see where the pully wheel has been rubbing against it. It looks worse than it is as its bent open, so the whole seems wider than it is. Fortunately for me it happened less than a quarter of a mile away from home...

Yeah... it was that swine the pully...! There's some sort of screw and bracket that should hold the trunking away from the pully's but for some reason, its come away, and the trunking had fallen down, making contact with the pully wheel... However, it was at the bottom, and it wasn't until i...

Members without altzheimers may recall a few weeks prior to Chrimble, i posted a thread about the alternator on my P38 2.5 DSE. . Well, having finally removed said alternator... it looks fine... nice and clean actually. . What doesn't look so good, is the gator / trunking full of cables /...

£529.00 is NOT a good quote Jordan... It's a more expensive quote than SIX other companies when using a COMPARE website. And you don't rate a car a classic until its 20 years old, which begs the question, what will have changed in five years from now? Aside from me and my car being five years...

1998... 170k

God doesn't like gay cars?

. Flippin it is or what init eh. . Point at hand is that i've got 2 classics, a 3 liter and a 3.5 liter... both petrol with auto boxes. Both cars are worth well over 5 grand, yet both cars cost me less than 150 quid a year to insure fully comp. RR, 2.5 Diesel, book price of 3,390 quid but i...

oh the snobbery :eek:

If you can afford motors like that then you can afford to wish yourselves happy christmas... or alternatively, you can pay someone to wish it to you !

Happy Christmas to all P38 owners. Off topic? so what... it's Christmas!

Realistically... the only under 21's that i know of who own a RR are footballers, and on their wages, the last thing they'll worry about is insurance costs to be fair. A RR is a big car, and it's not the sort of vehicle that should be driven by young people... damn it i'm starting to sound...

OK... here's one for you to take to your bosses then Mr. representative of Adrian Flux, if you please... sir :cool: I have a 1966 Rover P5 MKIII 3 litre Petrol car, it's valued at over 5 grand, i can do several thousand miles a year, and my last policy (vehicle is currently SORN), was about...

Well that's plain daft... i think they should set it at 15 years on a rolling date. I've got a Rover P5B 3.5 1970, and a Rover P5 3.0 MKIII 1966... in both cases, the engines are Petrol, and bigger than the 2.5 Diesel in my 1998 Rangey, PLUS... both cars are valued at more than my Rangey...

And bought a gaylander :fencing:

No no... we use RR's as we have a hill to climb... goonies are the ones that are cruising lol

why not ! i mean the world would be a sad place if you just stuck everyone in a meat grinder so that they all came out the same wouldn't it

It's cracked alright !

Of course, i was at my happiest when i owned kings of krome, restoring old P5 rovers. This is one of my old videos.... icky icky booyaka shah :) Chroming KINGS OF KROME LONDON.mpg - YouTube

Either way.... this is an example of what i do when i'm not driving big red buses all over London... REALLY, REALLY SORRY ABOUT THE MUSIC THOUGH... It's not my video, but that aside, it's a decent enough example of what soda blasting can do, and check out the mirror and car door handle... it...

without looking at it to assess, i could not say for sure... all i'm saying is that powder blasting is the only non abrasive method of removing paint without harming the substrate i know of, and i've stripped loads with my kit.
