Hi all. I do not expect may, if any responses for this item but I am under a lot of pressure to create space. I have full set of Black Cloth( more likely Blue/Black) Intact and complete other than one small hole in drivers seat. Sadly they are also 'crumbly'. Please PM if any use otherwise...

Coming home with a brand new MOT on the passenger seat last week, I encountered traffic holdup on the Runcorn bridge near to where I live. Suddenly traffic bunches up and I was forced into an emergency stop.It stopped as it should :D . But only later did I realise I was losing my brakes. By the...

I would call on your views concerning the oil pressure of my 2.2TC. Unlike many, I have read on these forums which usually concern low oil pressure ,my problem is the reverse. For some months I have been trying to track down and rectify my TC's 'over' pressure. At start up the guage builds up to...

I am currently renovating the off side sill of my Tobacco Leaf '71 SC. All has been going reasonably well until I got to the D post area. Definitley a 'prod too far' and revealed filler and alumininium in the rear arch! Hey Ho. I have been able to fabricatre internal and external patch to my D...

I have had my 2200 engined 2000TC for just over 2 years. It has (I thought) very good oil pressure as the reading goes to the far right(over 60psi) and stays there until switched off. It also loses oil .I have been looking at the dreaded 'O' ring until it was pointed out to me that the pressure...

Does anyone have any experience of repairing seat covers? I have 2 seats which have splits in each on the squab, and although the strip leather panels are intact there is no damage elsewhere. Having had a go at a ruined seat I am surprised to find that the leather appears to be sewn and glued to...

I have just aquired a set of springs. On checking the specifications in the Manual. I am sure that I have a pair of front (longer 16+ inches with 7/8 coils)and a pair of rearswhich are shorter(approx13.25 inches) I am having some difficulty in recognition inso far they appear to be nearly as...

My 71 SC drives well, particularly on the straight but when I go though a long left or right hand bend it becomes a bit of a handful and have to reduce speed(from 50/60 mph) Using the manual I have just jacked it up with front wheels clear of the ground. Some(minimal) play when the steering is...

I am slowly but surely improving the engine bay of my 2.2 engined 2000TC. Reading back posts I found a post by John Glynn, posted April 2004 concerning the servo unit. He pointed out the the unit(when new) was cadmium plated and not painted to combat possible corrosive properties of brake...

Very pleased to see you all back Does anyone have a copy any instruction leaflets for the Lockheed master cylinder repair kits for a series 2000SC? I have bought a kit from JRW-one of the seals is blank and the other not. I am told by JRW that this is for a later model as there are 2 types...

Hi! Whilst trying to track down the connections for the 'optional extra' rev counter & clock I have disconnected my speed drive (1971 2000SC) drive. Sadly, reconnecting it is easier said than done. Does anyone have any useful tips on lining up and screwing the the collar back? Thanks

I wonder if any one has spare, (or for sale) a rev counter pod for my 1971 series 2 2000SC? Sadly, anyone viewing earlier posts in Electrics may now realise that mine has expired, possibly through poking the wrong contact! Live in hope, but having lost one on e-bay recently I suspect hens teeth...

Hi! My 1971 2000TC has rear inner wing corrosion and once the wing is off it looks quite frayed! In an earlier Post concerning this problem Ianp6man gave what I am certain is good advice to say the that the tank must be removed.So that I can grind and cut back I have removed the seats, carpets...

Hi Chaps Looking for your help again! My series 2 SC has an 'optional extra' pod clock and rev counter which has never worked but clock does, since bought last year . It would be fair to say that the electrics are non standard, but could anyone advise me how the wires from the coil are supposed...

Further to BBLongman carpet problems I wonder if any knows the whereabouts of any Sill carpets that would go into My Tobacco Leaf 1971 SC with beige carpets. Does hens teeth exist? Thanks

I have a 1971 2000SC with a damaged temp sender gauge. Whilst I have been able to get a replacement from SG Walker thanks to the forum I have been unable to get the damaged one out. It would be fair to say it is a lot more damaged than when it was only a matter of a broken off spade. Thanks to...
