    Indicator issues

    Hi, I'm having a problem with my osf indicator. At first I thought it was a bulb as the n/s flashed fine but the o/s flashed at twice the rate and only at the back. I replaced it with a working bulb and it didn't make a difference. I put a test lamp on the live feed coming out the inner wing and...

    Headlight relay fitting for dummies!And

    Hi, I'm planning on fitting relays to the headlights on my 1972 2000tc to take the strain off the fuse box but being a bit of a dummy where electrics are concerned I'm hoping someone with more knowledge will confirm my intentions or point out why if it's not correct. I've bought a 4 pin 30a...

    2000 overcharging.

    Ever since i got my P6 a couple of years ago i've had an intermittent overcharging issue, the charging gauge swings massively to the right at which point the battery shows it's getting 17v on my multi meter, strangely this is usually accompanied by a misfire.

    Cam timing wildly out

    I bought a 2000tc last summer, a previous owner had for reasons unknown put a sc head, carb and exhaust on it. It has never ran right, always lacking in power and running rough to the extent it burnt a valve in September. A friend and I replaced the valve but couldn't find the locking pin on the...

    Door bracing?

    Hi all, a friend is going to replace the rusty front drivers side section of the base unit this weekend. The front splash panel, base unit and inner sill back as far as the jacking point has rotted away unfortunately, what's more unfortunate is a previous owner bodged it all with fibre glass...

    Reversing light switch

    Hi all, I have a manual '72 2000sc with no reversing lights. I read the Haynes manual and the only reference made Is to a combined inhibitor/reversing switch on an auto box. I searched online for this on the forum and the reply said it was hiding under an access panel on the trans tunnel. My...
