I've got a set of wheel arch extensions for sale to fit a 4 door classic, i bought them but unfortunately they won't work with my 33" tyres, they are fibre glass construction, coloured black and have not been fitted. they attach with rivets or screws, there is no fitting instructions with them...

Started the car yesterday ('88 3.5 efi) to turn it round on the drive, once i'd stopped then engine after a few minutes i noticed some dripping from the exhaust at the connection with the centre box, obviously a blowing joint! the dripping was water, at first i thought condensation, but now i'm...

Hi, Does anyone know of a good reference for finding out where all my vacuum hoses should be running on my 3.5 efi, some pipes are connected but some aren't and there's nothing in the haynes that I can see. Or does someone have a 3.5 that they could have a look at and take notes? When I...

Hello, New member here and even newer RR owner, just got myself a '88 Classic 3.5, she's pretty sound but just a few niggling points. I'm not convinced the Air Flow Sensor is working properly, is there a test for this unit, ie expected resistances, or is it just a case of get a new one and see...
