    SU HS8 carburetters on 2200 engine.

    I'm trying to get my 1968 2000 TC back on the road. The engine is poorly (loss of compression and worn bores) so has to be replaced. I have 2200 TC engine in good condition in store, plus a separately acquired pair of HIF6's complete with manifold. So far so good. The plan was to swap the...

    Mystery hoof marks in combustion chamber

    I am in the process of awakening a ´68 2000 TC that´s been off the road since 1982. As the compression ratio was almost nil on a two cylinders, I removed the cylinder head to have a peep.

    Specification of original shock absorbers

    I bought a pair of NOS front shock absorbers, part n:o 572994, and subsequently learned that they are intended for the 3500 with power steering. Does anyone know in what way they differ from the ones for cars with manual steering in terms of behaviour/performance and, why they were deemed...

    Mystery dished washer in tandem master cylinder

    Just removed and dismantled the brake master cylinder in my 2200TC fitted with the dual circuit brake system. During dismantling a lone dished washer suddenly appeared. Stupidly I had failed to notice what part it had been attached to. I didn't see it until after removing the tipping valve for...

    Parts for older Rover (P3) wanted

    Sorry for putting the query on this board, but people here seem to know where to turn for that elusive part. At a car meet today I met with the owner of this splendid P3 75 1949 who is in need of a couple of parts he's been unable to find in Sweden. The first item is the vacuum advance unit on...

    Another Swede saying hello

    First I’d like to thank all those who have contributed to this forum, both those who have searched for help, and those who have taken the trouble to share their knowledge with others or, voice their opinions. Without you all I’m not sure I’d have dared to buy an old Rover, in my case a ’75 2200...
