RSR Forum posts- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: 1937 Rover 12 - Wiper ArmsBoth arms pointing to passenger side is correct.

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • 1937 Rover 12 - Wiper ArmsThe wiper arms on my 1937 Rover 12 when parked currently point towards the nearside (passenger side), i.e. both in the same direction. In fitting new wiper arms I tried to remedy this so that they park, as I believe they should, i.e. both pointing away from the centre of the car......but to no avail. […]AFPU
- Rover P4, the next 75 and all the variations • Re: Lucas distributor type for model 100 - 1960Dear Thomas,Regarding 123 distributors. This is just a suggestion. I have only had one 123 distributor and strangely enough, I bought it for a Volvo 123GT. The car seemed a bit lethargic to me coming from Triumphs and Rovers and I suspected an ignition fault that was eluding me. However, I can truthfully say that […]SHyslop

- Rover P4, the next 75 and all the variations • Lucas distributor type for model 100 - 1960Does anyone have a spare parts catalog that also includes the 1960 Type 100?

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Choke control lightThe choke switch on my 47 12 is a small rectangular device which sits in the aluminum rear of head casting. Is that what one of yours is ? There are triangularish switches (Otter?) that do a similar job but so far I haven't seen one on a P2. Unfortunately, your photo(s) haven't turned up, […]SHyslop
