    Tab washer.

    Rover part number 2819 is missing from my car along with one of the 3/8 in bolts fixing the front mounting bracket to the base unit. The bracket holds the extension housing of the differential. This looks to be a rectangular washer that spreads the load over the bracket a bit. However it shows...

    Oil Filter Dissection.

    A suggestion came up in my youtube feed a month or so ago to view oil filters that have been cut open to inspect for quality. So I decided to purchase an oil filter cutter, since there are no videos on youtube covering filters that fit the Rover 2000 motor. The most commonly available filter...

    Improving Cooling 4 cylinder motor.

    I was inspired by Demetris to go a different route to improve the cooling on my Rover 2000 automatic. I was going to fit an electric fan, however I decided to install an 11 blade fan and a fan clutch instead. Then fan clutch I installed was for a Jaguar XJ-6, Hayden 2765. This has a flange with...

    Exhaust valves.

    Looking at my 1966 parts catalogue (2000 SC) it shows 2 part numbers for exhaust valves, one for 4 speed models and the other for automatics. Does anyone know what the difference is? I suspect that they started running the stellite valves first in the automatics, as they tend to run warmer, and...

    BW35 gearbox mount.

    The last time I had my BW35 gearbox serviced I was told that I need to replace the gearbox mount, as the old one has broken down somewhat. I have bought the mount, and looking at the diagrams it looks like I can support the box, undo the two nuts which hold the shaft for rear mounting to base...

    Jaguar versus Rover 2000 dunlop brakes.

    The handbrake on my 66 Rover 2000 do not work that well. I did improve them by fiddling about with the adjuster bolt. While doing this, I noticed that the retractor plate forks were broken. I have found something very similar on ebay, for and E type jaguar. Does anyone know if the are the same...

    Rover 2000 hoses.

    I was doing some filing today, and found some NAPA receipts for a complete set of coolant hoses for my Rover. Some of the hoses that they sold me did need cutting, and took them about 3 days to get. I decided to record the part numbers on my Rover spreadsheet. I have also visited the Gates...

    I was wondering if anyone has experience fitting a Kenlowe fan to a 2000 automatic. The car is a 1969 2000 automatic, with an separate transmission cooler, which is fitted in front of the fan. So I need a fan which fits behind the radiator. I could with the extra hp not having that mechanical...
