RSR Forum posts- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Rover Meteor clutchHas your car always done this (since you have had it) or is this crunching something new?I have no experience with a Meteor but I doubt your clutch and gearbox are much different to my P1 Rover. My car will frequently, but not always crunch a bit when engaging at standstill, especially if the engine […]TonyG
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Rover Meteor clutchMy 1931 Rover Meteor 20hp has a problem when trying to engage a gear at standstill. Seems like clutch is not disengaging fully so a crunch . I now always start the engine with a gear selected. Is there some type of brake which is supposed to stop the drive shaft from rotating when the […]MJLSCOTT

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: 12hp Tourer #110 (the blue one)Hi David,Have you got your car running properly again and, if so, what was the problem?Reading through your recent posts, the poor running problem sounded slightly familiar to an issue I recently had with my 12 Saloon. Moving it out of the garage to give it a once over before a show, I was annoyed […]TonyG
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: fuel tank sender resistance for P2Thomas,Sounds like your tank sender and moving coil gauge are electrically sound. The fluctuation of the reading at or near empty, I assume, is when you are driving and you don’t say it does this at, say, half or full? As such, it sounds like your issue is mechanical within the tank when the float […]TonyG
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Rover 12 clutch replacementHi Simon,Originally your car would have been fitted with a four finger Roper & Wreak clutch and the smaller release bearing. However, changing to the later post ‘38 clutch was considered a worthwhile upgrade. As Mike says, this requires some changes that might include the flywheel studs/bolts and the release arm. Also, some early bell […]TonyG
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Rover 12 clutch replacementHave you spoken to the supplier? If memory serves, 1936 cars had a pressure plate with 4 fingers. If the new clutch has 3 fingers, some modifications may be needed. I haven't come across the shims advice before.MikeGOY189

The car was troublesome last year when selecting gear but liveable. Put the car away for the winter and in may tried to get her out for a run but the clutch was completely […]Simonk64
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • fuel tank sender resistance for P2Does anyone know the resistance value of the fuel sender on the P2?I measured the value for full, it is between 50 and 60 Ohm, for empty it should be considerably higher.I want to measure the capacity to dampen the fuel gauge. The pointer oscillates a lot when the tank is empty.My tank is full […]ThomasMoRo
