    Annoying leak

    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...

    Annoying leak

    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...

    S2 rear heated screen switch( ie the round pull switch)

    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

    Seat belt dilemma

    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...

    Lucas 6RA starter motor relay

    I suspect after 41 years of use this part may be past its best. Obviously an oe Lucus part is not available. I have seen various outlets advertising replacement ones (Rover part number 563417) however these seem to have five terminals and my original relay only has four? Also I would prefer to...

    Key numbers

    Nice one horselogger, I had only looked at one of the private locks and indeed no number on the side of the barrel, however after examining the other there was indeed a three digit number on the side of the barrel. As the other numbers are identical and I know these used to be a pair with one...

    Key numbers

    Probably a simple question if you know the answer, unfortunately I don't! My private locks are falling apart on my series 2. Fortunately in attic 1 I have found 2 good condition spare ones.

    Heater box teardown and rebuild

    As usual, thanks for all your replies, Hoping the heater isn't knackered. On the plus side the controls work as they should,(if a little noisy, probably worn out foam) it heats and blows correctly, although does take a few miles to start heating effectively. The minus side is although there are...
