    Spot the (not) difference

    Especially the chunky NADA mount that’s horribly stodgy in my view, so I got the holes filled when the bumper was rechromed. So its not going back on. The 215 engined Special is quite rare,

    Spot the (not) difference

    Not going to see these parking lot buds together every day.....or indeed basically ever. If I had space I would buy it (the Special); a great Rovernerd collection piece in my view.

    V8 Engine Stabilizer Rod Assembly

    Hi I should clarify that I no longer have the AC bracket in place so need the non AC rod. I re-read my own post and even I didn’t quite know what I meant……

    V8 Engine Stabilizer Rod Assembly

    Hello I am looking for the complete assembly although I do have the rubber parts. I originally had the AC accessory bracket which included the stabilizer of a different setup but now I got rid of that, I just need the regular bits. It’s for NADA V8 but I don’t suppose that’s a challenge except...

    1968 Rover 2000tc San Diego, California | Hemmings Bummer I have two already and not quite ready to have one as a daily driver although with 9 grand you can't buy much in terms of a daily so would not be super ridiculous idea......

    (Another) Mystery Brake Fluid Loss

    Yes, no usual suspects. It must be disappearing under braking from somewhere so will poke around at the calipers. Once I have bled the system groan.

    (Another) Mystery Brake Fluid Loss

    Okay so the servo is dry. Took the opportunity to repaint it (again). And sprayed rubberized undercoating on the inner wing for the inevitable fluid dribbling destroying my spray paint finish (again). But with dry caliper covers and dry servo, and not a solitary drip on garage floor the...

    Broken brake booster?

    Hello. I had seemingly the same issue, immediately after I sent my dual line MC for rebuild. When I disconnected the vacuum hose the brakes worked fine (with no boost!) but as soon as the booster was connected they were not releasing. I researched the mysterious plate in the MC (plenty of duff...

    Rear door won’t open

    I bought those door cards and was a bit worried how they would look when they arrived. They are fantastic, at least the black ones I got. Highly recommended if you are on the fence.

    (Another) Mystery Brake Fluid Loss

    I have already removed the servo and nothing is dribbling out of the hose inlets when held upside down and generally being wiggled around……I have not tried to remove either of the two connectors.

    (Another) Mystery Brake Fluid Loss

    Hello So, have refilled the reservoir a couple of times. Not a drop of fluid on garage floor where the car spends 99% of its time. Inspected hoses - nothing obvious. Driver carpet dry, definitely not coming through from master cylinder (had that before). Tested the reservoirs (NADA 3500S) and...

    Rear door won’t open

    I had this while fettling the shut, maybe not as bad but the button was inactive and the door was well shut. In the end with the button pressed and pulling hard upwards (a lot) on the handle while opening got it open by just getting a smidge of clearance. I was very relieved at that point.

    Aaarghh - Servo Reaction Valve plastic insert chucked away

    Hello Thanks very much for taking the time to look - I appreciate that. I just ordered one and I can ship it to family who can forward it on, probably stashed inside more surplus Xmas cake.....I googled the PN of the servo itself and was expecting to see a raft of different vehicles come up but...

    Aaarghh - Servo Reaction Valve plastic insert chucked away

    Hello I think, I thought that the reaction valve kit included the plastic plunger thing that goes inside the diaphram. It does not, so now I am left with two useless servos on my Federal 2000TC. I managed to scrape up one from a spare servo I had in a pile but I am missing the other. I could...
