    My penny-worth: Years Ago I owned a Rover P5B. The sump gasket needed replacing. When the sump was off it got a good clean. In it was a grey almost clay-like goo at the bottom and in that were numerous aluminium pieces = shavings. I wasn't hugely...

    Spend a couple of hours under the FL1. Initially I was wanting to add an extra aluminium washer to the first gear switch on the g'box to see if I could get rid of the amber HDC warning lamp. But I could find the right washer anywhere :( So I...

    So after 11 years of owning my FL1 I finally got around to getting the rear window washer working. I made it more of a mission than what it needed to be! I thought the pump motor was stuffed - no. Took both pumps out and then the washer bottle...
