OK. All systems go. Just made a bracket to locate the kick-down switch on the throttle. Makes a huge difference. Thoroughly recommend it.
So far, the mods I've done since buying this magnificent vehicle;
1) Blanked off rear seat ducts in centre console.
2) Replaced two coils with one.
3) Relocated Ignition module to where front coil used to be.
4) Relocated kick-down switch to throttle.
5) Made a small vent to assist fuel flow at high throttle openings.
Still more to do ;-)
Rod.

 

Good SHORT list.

Good to hear all is moving along nicely.

I actually started the Rover P3 today, first "fire in the belly" since 2002. All of 3 rotations and up and running, smiles all round, JD flowed freely. Half an hour of running, NO leaks, oil/coolant/fuel, too good to be true, but fact.

Now to retention the head and do the tappets (copper/ asbestos head gasket), so 3 times of this required, then pat it on the bum and send it back to the owner in the bush. Took 2 years to sort, but quite happy all round.

 

It is one on the nicest feelings ever, to see something you have been working on burst into life. It never ceases to amaze me.
