Thanks found a replacement since my last post.cheers gary.

Thanks for that reply, but to be more clear (sorry) it is the rear bottom link in which the rear spring sits on and the rear shockers are attached.thanks again gary.

Hi everyone does anyone know if a bottom link assembly from a 2200/3500 will fit a 2000 I know they are different,but wondered if any member had tried fitting one.Also anyone bought one recently as I have no idea of prices.thanks gary.

Hi I,ve just aquired a very early (65) 2000 it has a crack in the exhaust manifold,does anyone know if these can be welded (cast) or am I better off looking for a good second hand one. thanks gary.

Thanks for the suggestions,when I removed the input hose water was running from the inlet manifold staight away (TC model) so I guess there was no air lock up to there.Followed on with the other method but just a trickle from the metal outlet pipe unless the car was revved up,am I right in...

Hi everyon I,ve just replaced the antifreeze in my 2200 and I,m left with cold heaters,I,ve bled these systems in the past by removing the top heater hose and waiting for water to run from the metal heater pipe near the bulkhead, but I can,t remember if the car needs to be on fast tickover or...

Hi john fitted rear shockers today and everything is as it should be at the rear end now,firmer ride and no floating sensation.The shockers are (Monroe originals) part no.R3209 and the very helpful motor factors are Sewwlls phone no. 01642 552019.Hope this helps everyone for future...

Thanks for that john after ringing 18 local motor factors and suppliers I finally got one who rather than just look on the computer offered to ring his supplier.Rang me back 15 minutes later and said I could have the proper shockers late afternoon for £26.95 (monroe originals was the make)...

Hi can anyone tell me where I will get the correct rear shock absorbers for my 2200 tc everywhere I enquire tell me there is only the one type which covers all the range,as I ,ve said in the earlier post I have fitted this type and they are most definently too soft.I can remember when running...

Hi I,ve just spotted on ebay some spring assisters mentioned earlier in this thread.The item number is 8006114657 for anyone brave enough to try them. cheers gary.

Hi dave I remember those I fitted some to a mk 111 cortina years ago ,they seemed to firm the rear end up a bit.I dont know if they would work on the back end of a rover though,worth a try if you could still get hold of them and were cheap enough! cheers gary.

Hi I,ve recently fitted rear shockers to my 77 2200 tc when I bought them from a shock absorber stall at a autojumble the seller said they where haevy duty (woodhead) and fitted all the p6 models.I was always under the impression that the 2200 and 3500 had beefier rear shockers? anyway I fitted...

Hi everyone just got back from hols yesterday,never seen one p6 in italy plenty of fiat 500,s and old merc,s. Started investigating the brake problem again today,took off the air valve and noticed bits of black plastic on top of the diaphram,then took off the diaphram and checked the neccesary...

Hi before I replaced the master cylinder rubbers the only problem with the brakes was that the pedal would be okay one minute then when pressed again the pedal would go practicaly to the floor when this happened the brake pedal would have to be pumped twice to stop the car.I have just had a run...

Thanks bennet done that today the brakes dont sieze on,but when I reconnect the servo pipe and start the engine the pedal goes rock hard as soon as I press it and the brakes sieze on again. cheers gary

Can anyone advise me before I start laying out loads of dosh if my problem could be the servo? should I buy a repair kit or could it just need a bit of lubrication inside? never had problems with rover servo,s before or on any car I,ve owned so totaly in the dark here.The car has only done 500...

Hi gary yes noticed the wiggle,I renewed the rear bushes on my last two rovers and there was no clunking,looks like another rear end re-bush! cheers gary.

Hi I have backed off the operating rod to the brake master cylinder no change brakes still stuck on,I pulled off the flexi pipe at the servo and within 5 minutes the brakes where free.any ideas anyone please.cheers gary.

Yes dave same on mine,I wonder if wd40 then liberal amounts of spray grease would help? cheers gary.
