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...

I think a Pink P6 has a certain ring to it, Mark and the Pink Panther!, would just go with those pink fluffy dice,

Re: bronze cloth seats and the other trim Hi Marcus, you have a PM kind regards Ian R 2200TC CHA14T 'Chatterbox'

Steve Benyon is the man to contact over the show at Event City, I know Mark gray asked me if I'd like to take 'Chatterbox' along on the club stand, so had her out and cleaned last weekend, though her interior still leaves a bit to be desired. She wont be one of these concourse winners but a good...

Still on the lookout for these, could manage with just the front seats or covers, 'Chatterbox' is going to the Northern Indoor show in a couple of weeks and it would be good to get her looking a little more respectable. Please help if you know anyone who has any bronze boxpleat interior stashed...

Sorry guy's gone to a club member.!

If there's anyone out there in the lancs area who wants a 2200 SC head/carb/manifold then come along and help me get it off the engine and it's yours. I wanted a 2200TC but before I knew any better i had bought this SC engine, I want to keep the block etc in case i need the bits for my TC but...

Well thats a bit of a beggar, i'll have to look around for some other bits as well then, still good lesson in parts identification

Hi Chris, thanks for that, i thought the heads were the same but the manifolds were different? Is the complete cylinder head a different casting? I was just hoping to lift out the original engine, swap over the manifolds etc and accessories and then rebuild all the parts required on...

Well, I decided not to re tax 'Chatterbox' due to her tired engine, just picked one up fairly locally so i should be able to make one good one from two, though i might just throw this one in and see how we go. That way i can rebuild the original in my own time, the one i've got is an SC which...

Hi Chris, when i fathom out how to post the pics i'll post some, i reckon it's the size of my pics i'll have problems with. The Jensen GT is a lovely car a ' Gentlemans sports carriage' is how they were originally introduced I think. The GT wants restoring though she is a solid base, the Healey...
