    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    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...

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    Yes, and then if not enough, adding shims.

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

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

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    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

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    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.

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    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).

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    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.

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

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

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

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

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    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.

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    Thanks for the detailed information Ron, it's very interesting when you get to see the underlying construction rules of a design solution. My knowledge of maths and physics has barely been used since graduation from the university; but I'm lucky to have a good high school math teacher as a wife...

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    That sound like what I need just now. I haven´t driven the car in seven years due to engine problems that are fixed now, and I haven´t got the time to do option 2 in the coming months; it have to wait until winter if I will have the possability to use the car this summer. But then, of course, I...

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    I've reacted to it too, but it appears to be mounted correctly. Attached are some pictures, before and after.

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    Thank you for the answers. The car has heavy steering so probably both camber and castor are wrong. I've been reading the various forum threads on the same topic, and have come to the conclusion that I have two ways to go. It might be a bit of unnecessary work to go via option 1, but if it's a...

    Tie rod hit the inner wheel housing

    On the right hand side the tie rod sits really close to the inner wheel house, and the tie rod hits the inner housing when suspension movement and turning at the same time (see the marks up and down in the picture). The camber seems to be negative. The top ball joints are new, and the workshop...

    Sheen/gloss number of satin black sills?

    Does anyone know the sheen/gloss number of satin black for the sills?

    That’s correct. There are many things left to fix, but now the car is driveable:)

    Cylinder head removal

    Since 2015, I have opened a number of threads in this forum with questions regarding my 2200 TC. Among others this one, after the engine dropped a valve seat. I'm now glad that after many years the car is fixed, and that I finally can drive it on the roads of southern Sweden in the spring. So...

    Cylinder head removal

    Okay Demetris, thanks. Then I need a new head gasket.

    Cylinder head removal

    Yes I’ve seen that it can be done that way, but we do not have such distance pieces. So now I’m unsure of the head gasket can be used, or of I need a new one!? I’ll contact you with PM.

    Cylinder head removal

    I have had the cylinder head on rebuild and have test fitted and tightened the top bolts twice to measure/adjust the valve clearance. Now the workshop will take the head off again for a third and final adjustment. Can we reuse the same head gasket, after all it hasn't been exposed to any heat?

    Okay. Thanks very much for your support and help today.

    Cylinder head removal

    So, here is the result and why the car hasn't been driven for six years. A dropped valve seat of the 2nd cylinder exhaust valve. There is a small impact mark on the piston; does it matter? Can I leave it as it is? There are clear impact marks from the shim on the valve spring "washer". I...

    Cylinder head removal

    Sorry, one more question. The manual says ’Remove cover plate from rear of camshaft bearing block.’ I can’t see any other cover plate than this one. Is it really necessary to remove it? I can’t see why!?
