- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: 1939 P2 R10 starter motorDear Andy,That is very good of you to let us know the outcome. If it is some slight consolation, I bought a 1926 car from a (then) well known specialist in the make and after the delivery driver had left, I went to start the car and the starter literally fell into about 15 pieces!

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: 1939 P2 R10 starter motorMany thanks for your replies and advice.

I've taken the motor out and everything seems to work. Powered up on the bench the dog flies out and returns when powered off. I've read posts that suggest moving the motor further forward but that doesn't […]ANDY

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: rover 10 p2 steeringHi Tony, I've been away for a while and only just picked up your reply. Thanks for the tips, it does make sense that the horn assembly stays still while the wheel turns but I couldn't remember if that was the case. I don't have manual A/R so the only controls are horn and passing […]ANDY
