Yes, I was quite relieved when she burst into life, MOT next on the list of things to do, hence the front shocks, my aim is to sort her out over the winter and get out and about next season, she wont be out over the winter, one has Landrovers for that regards Ian

Success after stripping back the carbs and blowing them out with an air line I prepared them to receive some of the service kit parts I had. Fitteded two new needles and the new valves from the CSK 17/83 kits, I also set the floats as per manual, put everything back together and first turn of...

Hi Pat thanks for that, i came to the same comclusion, i'm going to pull the carbs tomorrow and fit the service kits I have, then we'll try again, thanks for the help, i'll let you know how I get on regards Ian

Probably a while, I,ve been slowly clearing it out, what's left is now mixed with fresh fuel, it would seem fuel is getting to the carbs but not through them, plugs are dry after I,ve tried starting, tried new coil, rotor arm etc, convinced it,s the carbs though. Might try a computer tune guy I...

Tried the condenser, can't say whether or not it made a difference, cleaned all the plugs and reset the gap, she looked like she wanted to try. I ended up removing the air filter and could see one of the carb plungers was stuck up in the top of the body of the carb. I freed this off then gave...

Thats a good thought, if I have one i'll try that tonight regards Ian

Guy's not been on here for a long while and to my shame I have neglected my trusty 2200TC (Chatterbox)! she will now not start for love nore money, I've had the carbs off and the exhaust to be able to fit a NOS manifold and the next pipe along. That wasn't the reason I took the carbs off it was...

Well 'Chatterbox' got there and back and we very much enjoyed the day, never been to Beamish before very nice, and all those nice 3500's and series 1 2000's but only tatty old 'Chatterbox' with a 2200, we felt very special! It was great to see so many great cars, our's definately has a few...

Hi Mick, looks like i'm out of the running for Beamish, went to 'Chatterbox' tonight to get her out to fit rear seat belts and the starter relay clicks but the solenoid and motor seem dead. I've taken the starter motor off the spare engine but it's unlikely i'll get time to fit it before Sunday...

Hi Mick, God and Allah willing i should be there Friday, got a trip out early Saturday for another set of seats so won't be late. Probably won't be in 'Chatterbox' either see you all Friday regards Ian

Yes thats me, I'm sorry we didn't meet up at Dunsop Bridge if I'd have spotted another P6 I would have pulled over, there were no other P6's on the LAC rally. Wouldn't mind a copy of that picture though the old girl looks pretty good, the car that is! regards Ian

Well got 'Chatterbox' out this Sunday 22nd, for the Lancashire Automobile club, St Georges day rally. It's a 65 mile run around 20 villages in the Ribble Valley out of about 130 entrants I was the only P6, in fact the only Rover from what I could see, though there were a couple of series 1...

Hi Guy's sorry i had to jib out on Friday, had a delivery of 3 ton bags sand & chippings plus a pallet of blocks Thursday, along with two pallets of 4" thick flags, then another 3 pallets of flags on the Friday, to say I was jiggered would be an understatement. Ended up taking the wife and...

Anyone know where I can get some rear seat belts, inertia reel would be best but I could put static ones in, i've seen these on Ebay, any good? regards Ian R CHA14T 'Chatterbox'

Well thanks to a very pleasant forum member over in the 'East Riding of Yorkshire' (thanks Marcus) i have aquired a very good set of Bronze cloth seats for 'Chatterbox' for now. I have decided that the rear Bronze leather seats in her will be ok but I will still have to sort the drivers and...
