    Gas tank sender fixed

    Since I bought my 67 2000TC the gas gauge has been broken, not moving at all so I did all the usual tests & the finger pointed to the sender, I tried to remove it from the tank but a previous owner had used black silicone on the locking ring so it was impossible to remove. I removed the tank &...

    Rebuilding the 2000 engine in So Cal

    Cheers Vern I personally never mount a coil on it's side as the oil can be away from the coil in certain brands & the coil can overheat & fail so that will be being moved once the hood is mounted so I can find a decent spot .

    Rebuilding the 2000 engine in So Cal

    Being a Rover Novice but having been restoring cars for 30 years I went with just the engine removal , I lowered her back in on the hoist using the motor mounts for the strap , got her in place, jacked up the gearbox as high as possible, aligned the clutch & trans , it slipped right on the...

    Rebuilding the 2000 engine in So Cal

    I finished putting the engine together & in & she's a runner , the chains & tensioners would be a good job for a gynecologist but I got there in the end :) I left the gearbox in the car & fitting the engine onto the trans was a doddle. Fired up , no problems, tomorrow it's the clutch slave & arm...

    K&N air filter

    I received the K&N style air cleaners from Empi part # 00-9006-0 they fit fine , O/D & thickness are identical I/D is smaller due to the thickness of the element costs around $10 each here in the US so a great price imho .
