After almost 5 years of ownership I've decided it's time to sell my 2000TC. It's a very early series 1 first registered in February 1967 and UK market cars were only available from around November '66. Finished in Arden green it has real road presence. Regular forum members will no doubt have...

Held at Averham near Newark there will be a great display of classic cars and aircraft both static and in the air, including the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Admission is by ticket in advance only, but they're only a fiver and all proceeds go to the Air Ambulance. There's more info and...

As above, I need a new non pressurized radiator filler cap for my '67 2000TC with the separate header tank. The threads have corroded on mine and it doesn't seal properly anymore. Photo attached for reference. If you have one or know of a suitable alternative let me know. Thanks.

After the first start up of my TC (the car hasn't been driven for a year or so) I thought everything was going well, idling nicely, no warning lights etc so I thought I'd measure the battery voltage. With the engine running it was only 12.48V, and with the engine off it was 12.68V. The battery...

See this advertised a few days ago and it looks interesting. Will either of the clubs be having a display stand?

I've had some trouble keeping the battery fully charged in my TC recently. The battery that was in the car when I bought it expired over the summer so I took the one out of the V8 since I'm not using it now and that's just died too. I bought a new battery a few days ago and the car now starts...

Does anyone have a spare set of P6 headlamp bowls? I could do with a set of 4 really, but just the outers would do. The adjusters have died on mine and the lights point at the floor!

Are these type of bushings supposed to pivot around the inner steel shaft like a rose joint does or are they meant to flex torsionally with the inner part staying static and the material flexing to give the movement? I'm trying to get to the bottom of why the rear suspension on my 2000TC is...

In the quest iron out little niggles to make HOT more enjoyable to drive my attentioned has turned to the radio. It's a period Motorola with an aerial on the roof and a single speaker, but it only picks up Radio4. With the engine at idle the sound is clear, but above 1500rpm the radio picks up a...

The flexible hose between the rear calipers on HOT have a banjo connection directly onto the caliper, whereas on other ones I've seen there's a short section of rigid hose on the caliper first, is this because it's an earlier car?

As you may have read elsewhere my 2000TC fail the MOT on the rear brake power and hand brake power. I tried manually operating the caliper with the handbrake quadrant and I could hear the adjuster mechanism clicking, but it didn't make any difference. So, today I removed the calipers from the...

I've just seen this footage on Youtube of a fellow in the Netherlands rallying a '67 2000TC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfOFzDb83hs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfOFzDb83hs It certainly looks and sounds the part and appears to go pretty well too, anyone know anymore about it?

Just spotted this listing for a Lucas brake light switch whilst looking for one for EMF. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-LUCAS ... 2eb82b7076 Has he really got something special? I bought a Lucas one for £5.40 from another seller.

For various reasons I've not been to many shows this year and I only seem to hear about local events the week after they've happened. So, do you lot know of any car shows to visit in the next few weeks that aren't on the South coast (I've had 4 trips south this year and I've run out of tablets...

Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed a metallic rattly sound coming from the engine. It occurs between about 1800 and 2200 RPM on light throttle - opening the throttles more during these revs stops it and it doesn't happen anywhere else in the rev range. The engine feels as strong as...

As part of the MOT preparations on EMF I've been trying to get the brake warning circuit to work in order that the lamp shows when the handbrake is applied - something that it's never done. According to the wiring diagram for September 1970 onwards cars the handbrake switch is last in the line...

Can anyone suggest a reason why Rover put a hole in the base unit here - other than to let water into the boot? It's just under the edge of the decker panel and goes into the box section that goes across the top if the boot. It had a small bung in it and there's an identical one on the other...

This is my latest acquisition, a '67 2000TC. I've been thinking about buying a classic to use as a daily driver for a while and I spotted this on eBay, placed my bid, won and went to collect it. Here it is back at home. The drive back from the vendors house in Surrey was fairly painless...

I've only gone and bought this:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330643806347? ... 1438.l2649 which will hopefully be my new daily driver. The plan is to use it a bit over winter to get used to it and sort any bits out that need doing, then sell my V70 in the spring before the insurance runs out...

Just spotted this car for sale again on car and classic, with a trader this time and a bumped up price. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C264051

I've just seen a black P6 estate with Rostyle wheels on the Colwick Loop Road heading in to Gedling. I didn't get a look a the registration but I think it had a series 1 grill and 3 bonnet sccops. Not seen it before, does anyone know more about it it?

One of the things that really bugged me on my car was the sloppy hinges on the bonnet which meant that rattled up and down at speed. I've seen NOS hinges on eBay but the thought of paying nearly a hundred quid for them didn't appeal. Fortunately a good friend Tony Ryalls thought the same and...

I'm after some new ones of these for holding the wiring loom in place along the sides of the engine bay... Anyone know where I can buy them?

As I've been on this forum for a good while now I thought it was high time I started a thread to show you my Rover and what I've been up to with it. Many of you will have seen me and my car out and about at club meetings and shows and it wasn't until I started looking back through some old...

I've just been nosing around under my car this morning changing the rear shock absorbers and I noticed what I think is a small crack in the diff carrier. It's on the top flange next to where the mounting bolt passes through and into the floor of the car. So, the question is how worried should...
