Speaking from painful and costly experience you absolutely must persuade the owner to let you look under the carpets running along the inside of the cabin where the floor meets the vertical panels i.e the run of the inner sills. This may involve pulling up said carpet areas and if they haven't...

Just to finally tidy up this topic I thought I'd let you all know after trying heat reflective tape to no effect the fuel delivery problem was solved with a refurb of the carburetors.

Food for thought. Thanks for your replies guys.

Hi all. My 2200 tc has developed a persistent problem whereby if I stop for say 15 mins then get going again within 30 secs to a minute the engine splutters and often completely dies. Thirty seconds of trying to start and it usually runs again. Ithappens every time and I noticed if I pull the...

Thanks all for the info.

Hi all. Quite often see body panels for sale on eBay that could be useful but most times its collection only. Has anybody used a good economical collection and delivery service they could recommend can't seem to see much on available on the internet.

Hi all. I wonder if anyone can recommend a garage in the Bournemouth Poole neck of the woods that will work on P6 brakes. My local garage is usually pretty good with my P6 obsession but wouldn't get involved with my rear brakes instead advising me to go to a specialist. Easier said than done. I...

Has anybody got good condition passenger side front & rear carpet mats in the mid brown colour that they want to sell.

Hi all. Has anybody got a good condition passenger side front & rear overmat in the mid brown colour that goes with a bronze interior. For some reason the rear passenger side overmat of my recently acquired P6 was rotted although testing for water ingress since reveals nothing. Spooky.

Hi guys. I'm wanting to do some jobs on the old girl namely changing the gearbox oil, checking gearbox to prop flange bolts, condition of bottom of gearstick and possibly changing gear selector rod bushes. I wonder if anyone can recommend a suitable pair of ramps. I'm concerned many won't give...

I see the logic now. I was thinking of them more as spots. Demonstrates once again how forward thinking and safety minded Rover were before it became fashionable. I don't really think they're needed in the full beam situation as the four headlamps provide excellent light ( even though mine are...

Hi guys. Finally got my square eights working today almost the last in a long list of jobs. Don't understand their operation though. They only come on with the light switch in the fog lamp position, okay, but only the sidelights come on with them, with the switches in all the other positions. Is...

Hi guys. Sorry I didn't get to reply yesterday, battling raging toothache as we speak but I'm pleased to confirm Vern's wonderful rods have been installed in my original now refurbished box and are working a treat. YEHHHHH !. Happy days.

Hi Vern. I need the cast metal pieces between the ends of the adjustment levers that poke through the slots in the dash and the bit that attaches to the end of the rods on the splines that operate the flaps for both levers flow distribution and temperature. I actually borrowed the photo in my...

Hi. Thanks for the reply. A guy in Canada reckons he might have the bits needed but I'm kinda thinking I would just as soon have the backup of a spare heater box complete as those bits snap so easy trying to manhandle them. If you defo have a working box with those lever mounts attached let me...

Hi Vern thanks for getting in touch. Believe me I can wait however long it takes. I've just spent the third day on my back head under the dash it's starting to get embarrassing with the neighbours. Tell me what you require i.e.payment postage info whatever and its yours.

Hi. Thanks for the tip. If you could send me some photos of your Huco installation that would be great. Fuel line connections layout and electrics etc

Hi all. Seems like I've run into a problem faced by a few of us in the past in that the cast metal alloy pieces between the end of my heater control rods and the heater control levers have broken, or to be more accurate one broke then I broke the other one trying to rig up a fix for the first...

Hi all. Having just spent all day reverse flushing and the previous two days wrestling with an immovable thermostat housing that was eventually blow torched off I am still hungry for even more P6 fix. My plan was to fix up my 2200 TC of long standing that has mostly been laid up for the last...

Thanks for all the good advice guys.

Hi all. Can anyone recommend the correct antifreeze type for my 1975 2200TC. I understand it can be quite crucial but can't find any info on internet after looking for a couple of days. Many thanks.
