    Leaky master cylinder AND servo?

    On my Jaguar the brake system is simular to the P6. One day the fluid disapeared without any visible leakage. I have replaced the master and servo unit. After checking the old ones, I found a damaged servo unit. The engine has sucked up the brake fluid through the vacuum hose. In retrospect, I...

    Assistance required with Rover 2000tc.

    Hi Tony, I had the same problem with my 2200TC. It always occured with a warm engine. At first I thought it could be a fuel problem. Replacing the vacuum pipe and connectors brought a small progress. Out of sheer desperation, I have greased the breaker plate assembly in the distributor. It...

    Bosch JFU4 Distributor fitted to 2200TC

    Bosch JFU4 Distributor fitted to 2200TC

    Hi, I was really astonished not to find a Lucas distributor in the car. Referring to the numbers it could be Volvo origin. (the car was delivered to Sweden) It has also an electronic conversion. The amplifier is a blue box. I can’t find any information on the box, rotor or distributor cap. Bosch...

    Thank you all for your warm welcome. The head gasket problem started with a gentle increase of the temperature, away from the red aera. In the moment when I arrived at home and drove half the way into garage, it sounds like a little explosion and the engine bay was full of steam. At last I was...
