    Welcome to the forum of the future.... again....

    Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant the icons on bookmarks. Thanks for confirming the icon problem isn't just me though. I do have a bunch of browser bookmarks, but I'm content to wait and see what happens.

    Is anyone else missing the icon on the tabs and bookmarks in Firefox?

    Door latch binding

    Thank you for posting that picture. I don't have any spares to compare against without pulling apart another door. The latch part of the mechanism does look like the problem, but it's not held that way by pressure and works well when turned with the handle. I guess it shifted out of place...

    Door latch binding

    When I use the push button, the latch sticks and won't engage. While ripping the guts apart and letting the door flop closed has worked fine for many years, I'd kind of like it to work again. Now that I've taken the mechanism out of the door I can see what's wrong with it, but i don't know how...

    Well Drat!! Makes Me Sad!

    :( It's sad to see two more get crushed. The blue one looks easily saveable, and the white car's nicer than mine even with the rust. Wish they were closer, for the blue car's hood if nothing else.

    Not Rover...but British

    That Jaguar's an S-type, not a 240. My family has a white one with blue leather, it's a beautiful car, but it is very much a cat. It got driven out of its garage for a few days, decided it didn't like being ignored, and lost compression in all six cylinders at once. Hasn't run since.

    Silver TC (US eBay)

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Ma ... =mtr#v4-40 A good-looking car, but I wonder how much weight that luggage rack could hold before the trunk lid was damaged. It also has nonstandard side strips, which is a shame.

    Would have some hustle...

    Is that an Australian-exclusive color or something custom? It's nice.

    Federal 3500S project for sale!

    That is a very pretty car, the grey/red is perfect on it. Hope it sells easily, it would be tragic if it ended up scrapped.

    Rover 2000 mechanic's tool board

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Scarce-Rover-20 ... 2c6fa60354 I haven't seen one of these before. Now that I have, though, I want one! Even an empty one would be excellent decoration.

    White TC with black vinyl roof (US eBay)

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Ma ... 19dbbb2d66 The ad has a lot of nice pictures to look at. The car is very pretty, but I'm not a fan of the lighter compromise badges. Is the large GB badge a factory feature?

    Yellow TC with AC/sundym (US eBay)

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Ma ... 2328570fd9 It looks amazing, and really tempts me to return mine to yellow when I eventually make the paint one color.

    Black 2000TC in Florida

    I knew the NADA 3500S had reflectors, but I had no idea 2000TC's got them too. I was assuming they were a custom addition by the owner. Are they always orange at the back corners with none at the front?

    Black 2000TC in Florida

    The interior looks a little worn, but between the wheels and the paint, the exterior is stunning! I don't understand the orange reflectors at the back though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Ma ... 2ec368d456

    Engine health after long storage?

    I have an older version of the manual from '67, a parts book, and booklets covering North American cars and some minor things. Also the Haynes book, but I have the impression it's not very good.

    Engine health after long storage?

    I appreciate the advice on filling it, but it sounds like the safest thing to do would be take it apart and check everything. I'd hate to ruin it by gambling when I didn't have to. Especially since I don't know where I'd get another one. I found a new head gasket in the parts pile, so I don't...

    The View From The Windscreen

    That's a very nice color combination! It makes me wonder what it would look like with the tops of the doors painted yellow to line up with the wing.

    Engine health after long storage?

    I went out to look at it again, it looks like the oil was drained before storage. Then I got curious and took the valve cover off. It looks pretty good in there. A lot better than the other one! Redrover, thanks again for your post. I probably wouldn't have thought to oil the bores before...

    Engine health after long storage?

    Thanks for your comment! I didn't expect a response so fast, and it's late where I am (your time plus seven I think), so I'll reply more intelligently in the morning. EDIT: Minus seven, excuse me.

    Engine health after long storage?

    I have an SC engine that has been stored fully assembled, minus distributor, in a dry garage and climate for twenty years. It was running before it was stored. I'll need some or all of it for my 2000, so I was wondering what it might look like inside after so long. I'm sure all the seals and...

    New cars in Colorado

    Here's the rest of the pictures: Two blurry views of the 2000's engine (click for the original size). Nothing special in the first one, just an overall view. The second shows what I found under the head: about an inch of solid rust on the first and fourth cylinder walls. The debris on the...

    New cars in Colorado

    How long does the attachment restriction usually last? And is it forum-wide or based on the user's actions? I'd like to finish with the pictures, but I can go look for another image site if that would be better. EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw the thread in The Lounge, I'll use another way.

    New cars in Colorado

    Hi V8guy, I've seen your car around the forums, it's quite pretty and the scoop matches the hood very well. I don't think the seats are mango. My camera's got some defect in its color detection that tints everything pink. They're not orange in person and not nearly so bright, so i think...
