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...

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...

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...

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

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?

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 (...

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...

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. I am not sure if they are series 2 private locks or not but believe they are as they feature the swinging...

How annoying! Noticed issue with passenger front door today that will require rectification. I am obviously going to have to strip the door card off to see what is going on however hoping from my description someone one might know what I should look for once the card is off. The door will open...

Just had a quick look at the Haines, and not too clear, can anyone tell me whether replacement of the front lower windscreen seal requires removal of the screen?

Can anyone point me in the right direction, I believe sowen has published a detailed description of this (pherhaps not on this forum) yet when I tap the link on this forum nothing in any relation to this pops up at all! Thanks

Any help gents? Man 2.2 tc. (presumably 18acr)Charge battery up on charger (battery 5 months old) till battery charger indicating fully charged. Battery condition indicator says normal. CCA test as expected. Install, car spins starter fast (well it should do brand new starter using only lucus...

Ok 2.2 man tc used to have a starting issue on a daily basis, now down to once in a while, determined to get to the bottom of it. Very occasionally the starter will turn the engine very very slowly, have another go and the car starts instantly. I have fitted new battery, (old one seven years...

Can anyone tell me if the starter motor on a 2200tc has a separate earth cable (if it does presumably black-no tracer) where it should connect too or does the starter simply rely on earth contact through its own fastenings. Thanks

I am aware the strip does not fit on a mk 2 bonnet, however I don't want to lose the power bulge on the Mk2 and I really really want the strip on that bonnet. It would appear with some subtle cutting of the strengthening rib at the rear of the strip, and some time spent CAREFULLY bending, I...

Can anyone advise me? I have a series two obviously with the round clocked dash. When driving the piece of plastic that covers the speedo/rev counter rattles horrendously. If I put the lightest of fingers anywhere on the surface of the plastic panel that covers the speedo rev counter the noise...

Current unit ok, however I have a spare 4 speed gearbox that I would rather recondition prior to fitment, rather than maybe have to fit, remove, and refit again sometime in the future. Have looked at 5 speed Toyota conversion but costly at £2k. LT77 in a 4 cyl certainly isn't without issues, so...

Hoping someone can shed some light, still stumped dont know what else to try!! 2.2tc man. Problem, sometimes when attempting to start the starter motor will turn very slowly, then the car will start. Sometimes it will start fine. After a run if you try and start it it will A Just click...

Hope someone can shed some light on this. My p622tcMAN is pretty bang tidy, however there is one issue that has gone unsolved, for about twenty years, that I'd like to get to the bottom of before the next twenty if possiable! I have checked the battery is charging properly 99% of the time the...

I have just repaired the old sticky cork issue but like an idiot just unplugged the wiring without remembering which wire goes where!! (2200 tc) ther appears to be three wires can anybody tell me what connects to what , much appreciated

Looking for some advice as usual. After getting bored of welding up my manifold every year for the last two years, I have now decided to have a new one, trouble is which one? The options are obvious, 1 mild steel system, 2 stainless steel system or 3 mild system ceramic coated. The mild steel...

Any ideas? Wiper delay not working at all. Stripped governer, diaphramn intact. When replaced, by blanking off both the rubber pipe outlet and the foam rubber port only a delay of 4 seconds acheived. Is the rubber pipe actually surpossed to provide suction and if so from where and how is it...

Anyone throw any light on this? Front carb on 22tc started leaking so I have cleaned it out replaced float valve and seat............could not see anything wrong ........still leaking although not as bad ...........and intermittantly........Im stumped. Not done anything with float height as all...

Just a quickie, 22tc, anyone know the spec for the 2 bolts that secure the base of the tie rod unit to the chassis. They take a 9/16th spanner to undo them and are 1 1/4 inch long. Anyone know the tread type/size etc. Ta Ian
