Ah okay, then we probably have a complete kit. Is your warning triangle also like the one in the picture?

Thanks. Then I should order a new one.

This is the tool kit of my 2200 -74. Is there anything missing, or anything that shouldn’t be there? The yellow screwdriver seem a bit misplaced I think!?

The oil pressure gauge in my car shows too low pressure. I have measured with an external gauge and the oil pressure is fine. What is the most common cause when the gauge shows incorrect oil pressure; the gauge or the sensor?

Regarding compressing the spring. In the Rover Repair Operation Manual, the spring is slightly compressed to fit the three special retainers before the car is lifted up and the wheel is removed. In this forum's post 'A guide to front spring removal and refitment' the spring is compressed after...

Yes, and then if not enough, adding shims.

Camber is 2,5 deg negative. Can that be solved only with new bushings do you think? Castor angle not measured yet.

Thanks for the pictures. That's just how I've been thinking about whether that might be the case. It looks just like my car

I don't think it has been in an accident, but I can´t be sure. It looks the same on the other side, and it seem like the original yellow primer is found behind the rust protection. Well, I need to take measurements as first action.

Both mounts look the same, with gap between mount and body, due to the shape of the mount, se picture below. It is like that on the left hand side as well. I´m quite sure it is original, since the car has low number of owners and mileage. Yes, I will do that in the coming week (s).

Does anyone have experience with the Gunson Trakrite camber gauge? Now the right hand side wing is removed, so it is a little easier to access and see the condition of the bushings. I suppose they are quite worn?! There are no shims at the inner mount.

What do you think, is it "necessary" to replace the springs when I have everything disassembled, or can I keep the original ones?

The bushings are probably worn as they are the original ones I think.

No not yet unfortunately. I couldn't bring myself to fix it during the summer. This winter/spring, as a first step, I will try adding shims to see if it helps.
