Hope someone can shed some light. My car is a 2200tc with a rebuilt starter motor, acr18 alternator, new battery, fan belt and new earth cables. With the battery fully charged we have a reading of 12.8 volts. As expected the red ignition light comes on when you turn the key and goes out as...

Gents, hope someone can help. In the past I have always needed loads of bits so ordered my stuff from the well known p6 suppliers. I always ordered an oil filter for my 1976 2200tc MAN, and not surprisingly, as these people know what they are talking about, the oil filter always actually fitted...

Although I am reluctant to admit it, this is the exact aggressive method I was contemplating myself H, however I was rather hoping with all your experience/expertise you would be able to magic up from nowhere a more delicate solution than mine! However that said, none of your previous...

Noticed a bit off a damp patch on front and left rear floorpan, removed all carpet to get to the bottom of the issue and realised water coming in from left front and rear door aperture (not a lot but anything matters) seals appear more than reasonable however comparing left doors to right...

JP Exhausts Macclesfield, custom made me one for my 22tc in stainless (2 box system) sounds absolutely top draw. Never rots and they give you a guarantee for as long as you own the car, cost me about £400 a few years ago still perfect, what more do you want?

Just been looking at car which is almost as good as this picture, I NOW see they are handed, as well at the linkage difference, with hindsight should have seen this straight away, but thanks for your help as regards the detailed photo. As they say a picture is as good as a thousand words!

Carbs for the 2200 tc, does anyone know if there are actual differences between the two carbs are (ie physical, and what are they) or are they both identical the r/f just referring to the position? Also does anyone know where the identifying numbers are located and do they include the R or F...

Cheers buddy, knew I could see something, my eyes couldn't make up there mind if they were spring pins or small grub screws!

Building a good dash out of the three I have! Anyone know how the green switches come out (wipers lights interior lights etc)

Big thanks to roverp480 who kindly supplied, or rather gave away free, the bits I needed to sort my problem, what a gent!

Couldn't help myself, mole grips activated, bulb black and out, bulb casing still intact phew!!! I have not touched this before so someone pre 1992 must have got carried away and thought they were torqueing down a cylinder head when they were actually just replacing a bulb

This has stopped lighting up and hence working. Power to it so fuse ok. How do I get access to the bulb I have tried unscrewing it buts its not happening, I have posted here to avoid breaking it! How should it actually come apart?

Cheers for the Quickfit tip gents, been on to them and they can either supply a modern inertia reel seatbelt for about £60 OR recondition my original belt for slightly less. The big bonus is if I send them my old belt in either case they can fit the existing tongue (the bit you plug in) so I CAN...

Ok so both front belts have packed up (inertia britax autolock) ok for me as I had a spare in stock, not so good for the wife though, she cant come P6 ing with me until this issue is fixed. Looked for a new equivalent ie securon but here lies the issue. I have had my car nearly 30 years now (...

As usual gents, a swift, concise, and accurate solution to the problem, thank you all, especially roverp480 As an aside I purchased the generic make and break relay as detailed by rovep480, fitted low current 12 volt wires to terminal 85 and 86 (on the new relay) high current wires to 30 and 87...
