So that's why there was fuel starvation in this Rover P4. . . The stuff was like clay in the reserve solenoid!!! Yuck. Thankfully Richard Hedger had a good working second hand one for sale. This one is fit for the bin! Would hate to think what it's like inside the tank itself.

What a great day.
Final bit of Daimler Consort hydraulics refresh done. Some coolant hoses changed and a temporary mirror arrangement for a quick test drive 😆 . Also a chicken on the table at lunch and a cool tractor to look at !

The customer of this Rover P4 had been paying someone to service the car.....
Hmmm.. i don't think they ever bothered servicing the oil bath air filter! Very sludgy at the bottom.

I was busy yesterday working on a Datsun 240Z, when I received a phone call from a stranded Rover P4 owner on holiday. The poor guy had put the car into a local garage to be looked at as it was running poorly, but the car broke down again as soon as he entered the motorway! Once recovered off the motorway he paid an auto electrician to come out and look at the car.
The tech told the customer it was a fuel issue rather than electrical.....
Tim phoned me up for help and told me the symptoms. I was able to diagnose it right away over the phone and the customer was able to fit his own spare ignition condenser to get her running perfectly again. 🥰
