The upgraded gasket has been on for quite some time now without any leaks or problems, I also have used the neoprene gasket on the rocker cover again with no problems with leaks. Regards John

Thank you for the information. When the car goes back to the garage next week i will ask them tp check how flat the manifold faces are regards John

On the 2000/2200 engines sc is it common for the manifold to have warped, last year I got a replacement manifold from a member but I keep getting leaks at the manifold. The only other issue is that the manual says to ensure that the gasket metal side faces out to the manifold but gaskets...

Ok , what are the symptoms of stale fuel, when I start the car up she is not firing correctly (only firing on three) , but after a revving it clears. The fuel tank is about half full now from over a year and a half from when it was last filled up. If the the opinion is stale fuel do I need to...

It has been a bit of time but as promised I have an update so far, firstly yes the master cylinder is having to be replaced, following that the Coolant rad has been exchanged due to a water leak, the next issue was due to improved flow and pressure the heater matrix started to leak so that is...

The car goes into the garage on Thursday, so we will see what is go on, If I can I will report back. John

At the moment I think that maybe the servo slave has failed without any proof, simply because the car has started to misfire and running on three which is the first in12 years plus, it has always been good runner. It has only just started after the brake failure,. so i am thinking brake fluid...

Ok things going from bad to worse, I have been operating the brake peddle to try and get some brake movement so the car is at least ok to get out of my garage so that the car can be put on a trailer. Anyway kept pushing the peddle and gradually some brake came back. suddenly the brakes went...

Thank you all for your comments, I will just have to wait until she is collected and work with it then. She was registered in June 1972 so I guess she has imperial caliper . Has anybody had calipers from MEV John

I could not see any fluid on the floor particularly at the rear of the car, bone dry on the floor with no patches. I have arranged for the car to be trailered to the garage for repair but I am worried about getting her out of the garage as she is an auto and the gearbox will have to be primed...

Ok as a paraplegic I have to rely on my garage to service my car every year. Anyway after being in hibernation since last year I booked her in for a service, so I pulled the covers off and started here up , to my horror the brakes were non existent , I checked the fluid level and yes the...

Thank you for the reply , I will contact Framptons on Monday. Many thanks John

I need to replace my Black and silver number plates, so I need a recommendation please , as most of you know the p6 plates are wider than standard. If I ordered as for example from ebay they would not fill the back plate. Happy new year John

many years ago, I had an issue with mine missing when the car got hot , it took a hell of a job to find , It turned out to be that the Rota was slightly loose on where the pick up is welded, so when the car got hot the HT circuit kept breaking down

Thanks for the information John

Were these engines painted from new if so what colour, my 2200 looks as if the block is similar to a duck egg blue

hi thanks for the reply, is there a date in 1972 that the change took place

My 2000/2200 was registered in June 1972 , I understand that the cars were changed to metric brakes during 1972 , so any idea when. The car Vin number is 44105414B if that is any help . Regards John

Agreed, , all it would do is recirculate the air back to the top of the rocker cover , so I don't know why , it looks correct, no bogging

although I have my car for over 12 years in all honesty I have not paid much attention to details ( just driven the without to many problems). Anyway I have been trying to get things tided up and what I have noticed is that the breather on top of the rocker goes back via tube to the side of...

Hi Thanks for the reply, Both my reserve fuel tank and choke have the hooked pull so unless the engine was changed before I bought the car I have no answer to your comment.. I am only the third owner and I have had the car for over 12 years. the log book confirms the existing engine number...
