I was asked if i could do a video of the newly installed radio working so here is the link. At the moment the radio is using a 5.5 inch dash speaker with no fancy sub woofers or bass sound controllers but gives out good sound/volume for now until i decide if i want to enhance the sound quality.

Still a bit too cold to put the top coat of paint on so filled in a few hours by removing the old glove box hinges to get a nice snug fit for the radio. Also some sheepskin covers for the seats and the roof aerial fitted so progressing nicely.

Well, been a few days since any updates but have been waiting on stuff to arrive. Fitted my two door mirrors and front badge bar. Have also got the roof and guard in primer so it is ready for paint once it gets a bit warmer. Been a bit slack getting some other stuff done but will hopefully...

Thanks. Yes it really is great and certainly adds to the overall appearance of the interior

Another few hours well spent this morning. t took a bit of fiddling around but the new old radio is now in place. I still have to remove those hinges which is not a job I am looking forward to but all in all a good result. Had to take the inner lining out of the glove box to get a nice fit but...

Well here we are again. Auntie was in dire need of a roof paint so I thought I would give the Coopers stripper a go as I have had it for over 12 Months and the reviews were good. I decided to only do half the roof today as a test for both effectiveness and time factor. The pic shows the result...

Dash is out and ready for auto electrician to check the ammeter out when he comes to fit the radio, fog lamps and roof aerial lol. Talking of roof aerials there is a bit of a "Marmite" thing going on with them, some love some dont. Me personally I love the "Rakish" look of a nice chrome roof...

Just another update folks, We have today completed the change over from Positive earth to Negative earth. A relatively straightforward job for my auto electrician who also put on the correct fan belt for me and tested to ensure everything is charging correctly. I feel happier it being neg earth...

I will for sure, these are the instructions I was sent for operation but will know more once it arrives in Australia

I have started a new thread for this as I am so very happy to have found just what I was looking for and at a reasonable price and just wanted to share the deatils to anyone looking for and old style period car radio with modern features, not just Rovers but most cars...

Sure, his name is Michael. In the UK. https://www.facebook.com/mikeoldsworth?mibextid=ZbWKwL

Hi Patrick I just asked the guy who builds these and his response Not necessary David. It has a state of the art inbuilt receiver making an external aerial unnecessary

I have decided to splash out a little and have bought an original radio that has been converted and has DAB, Bluetooth and hands free. Funny enough the one I am getting has the same fascia colour as my interior, creepy lol

Thanks Patrick. Yes i have the app on my phone and use it to check the speedo on my daily drive.

Hi There are a few out there but they all came back with same or similar results on my query. This is the one i went with the most. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/45_conversionchart.jsp

Hi Patrick Yes so many tyres so many sizes lol. Doing a check on the classic car tyre conversion site it appears that 6.00 - 15 corresponds with 6.00-15 B 165R15 P165/80R15 185/70R15 195/65R15 205/60R15 225/50R15 So a bit of a choice. The people I have spoken with on the P4 Rover Guild...

Hi Patrick Please see attached from workshop manual

Just out of interest I changed the middle glove box over to the radio fascia today. Was an easy job once I worked out the best way to do it and with some help from those on the FB group.

Thanks Patrick. Unladen weight 3,108 lb The rims are 15 inch and have been told by a P4 owner of 30 odd Years that I should be going for 195x80R15 and failing that then 185x80 R15. Like you he said not light truck tyres, they need to be summertime/highway. I have found...

Just received a complete under dash tool lit of which I am super excited to see. It fits nicely into the bracket under the glove box and adds another touch of originality . . Hub caps also arrived so just tried them before I put the new tyres on. Talking about tyres, getting a bit hard to find...
