    C pillar panel removal

    There are 3 bolts, towards the rear of the panel that go through to the interior of the car. You have to remove the interior panel on the pillar to get access.

    2000 tc suspension kind of dead....

    The centre cap pulls off easily. both parts are metal, so just be careful with a fine scraper or screwdriver and work both sides. You shouldn't have any damage if you are careful.

    Bonnet Insulation

    When I replaced the insulation in my series 1 TC, I used Universal 1/2" Black Matt Faced Hood Insulation 48" x 72" from Detroit Muscle Technologies. https://www.detroitmuscletechnologies.com/universal-1-2-black-matt-faced-hood-insulation-46-x-48/ They are out of the US.A. I went with this as it...

    What Rovers have you regretted selling or buying

    I haven't personally sold a Rover that I regretted. The 1965 2000 SC that I bought for $100 for parts for my '68 TC was the best car buy I have ever made. It supposedly had a seized engine but the guts had fallen off the end of the starter motor and jammed the flywheel against the bell housing...

    rover 2000 door seals

    If Scott has them, that would be my first choice. He didn't have them when I purchased a set, so I bought them from JRW. They are quit a bit harder than the original seals and you had to "wind up" to get the door closed when first installed. However, after 2 years, they have flattened out...

    1968 2000 TC Restoration Project

    Just exceeded 1500 miles since the restoration project. The only real nagging issue I have had lately is increasing engine noise due to an exhaust leak. I found and welded up a crack on the top of the exhaust pipe at the flange where it connects to the manifold and thought I had it solved. There...

    Engine out.

    The first time I removed the pulley bolt I tried with a long 3/4" drive breaker bar with the engine in the car and was unsuccessful. With the engine out I used a 1/2 inch drive pneumatic impact gun and was successful (with a bit of patience). I thought I might need a 3/4 inch drive impact gun...

    Engine out.

    I fully agree with Demetris. An impact wrench is the only way to go. Even with the engine in the car and using a long bar, that bolt can be stubborn if it has never been previously removed.

    Water leak at fuel filler grommet ?

    The area between the base unit and the rear decker panel is a "wet" area that should drain down around the sides of the boot lid.. That is why the filler grommet and the bolts that hold down the front edges of the decker panel must seal well. As you noted, the fit of the grommet into the hole in...

    Clutch Pressure Plate

    The withdrawal sleeve for the clutch cover that does not have the centre plate is curved and much larger in diameter. Here are a couple of photos of the 2 different versions. The black sleeve os for the clutch cover with fingers only. You can see the comparison in diameters and how it looks...

    Fitting power steering to 2000TC

    It is difficult to tell where the oil is leaking from but on LHD TCs, it is likely the bottom seal. It is exposed to significant heat from the exhaust manifold. I doubt that it would be possible to replace the seal with the box in the car. You have to remove the drop arm in order to fit a new...

    Carburettor spacer

    I might have one. When stripping my '65 SC for parts, I gave the carb to someone but I can't remember what I left on the engine. The engine is in off site storage and not easy to check if the parts are there. I only ask for shipping costs, in this case from Canada. If you don;t find one closer...

    I would be interested. If you can figure out USPS postage cost to western Canada, we can go from there.

    Internal Door Handle variants

    The bottom one matches the ones on my '65 SC and '68 TC. My '68 has black plastic rings under the handles and the '65 has chrome metal rings.

    Fuel sender unit and reserve tap o-ring

    I can't think of any other reason for the valve to bind if the grub screw is fully tightened. The fact that there is a lock washer strongly indicates that the screw should be tight. It would be a bad day if the grub screw were to back out and the selector valve fall apart.

    Fuel sender unit and reserve tap o-ring

    That hasn't been my experience. Do you have the correct lock washer under the grub screw? If not, the screw can thread in too far and interfere with the valve stem. It should be an "internal star" lock washer.

    Fuel sender unit and reserve tap o-ring

    I had 2 units from Wadhams. Both had the same issue with accuracy. I also had a failed float but that was easy to detect as the level gauge went to empty and would not move off even when the tank was filled. Jon indicated to me that there has been no change in the units he is selling since he...

    Fuel sender unit and reserve tap o-ring

    I had the same accuracy issue with the JRW sender. WINS had one available for a while and I purchased one. It has good accuracy but has problems with the connection points being too close together to fit the compression fittings. The fuel reserve outlet tube is also too high off the bottom of...

    fire under hood. wiring loom new

    The Rover 2000/2200 workshop manual has different wiring diagrams for the 1968/1969 cars as compared to the earlier ones so there are some differences in the loom from your '67.

    Heater box teardown and rebuild

    It is normal to have a combination of screws and pop rivets. They were assembled in the factory this way. The reasoning for the placement of the different fasteners is a mystery and discussed elsewhere on the forum.

    Time to fit new sill seals

    The B-post to outer sill seal. I just slid them over the outer sill and then tucked the seal up under the door seals when attaching the outer sill. I did not cut any angles in the seals and they are not glued or fastened in any way other than by friction and the way they fit against the B-post...

    Time to fit new sill seals

    I ran the new door seal all the way around and then cut out the section for the sill seal so I would have an exact fit. The sill seal is held in place by putting it in the track AND with a metal seal retainer strip. I cleaned and re plated the seal retainer and then screwed it into place as per...

    Hi Paul, I am not sure I understand your question. I replicated what was done originally.
