    Electric issue

    Newport, Waterloo Road

    Saw a very nice looking series 2 yesterday passing my house on Waterloo Road it then turned right onto Cardiff Road. It was a light green colour I think, I only just caught a quick glimpse of the rear as it pulled onto the junction, it was in very good condition, I couldn't hear a burble of the...

    2000 Head replacement

    Hi All, I've found a NOS Rover 2000 head for sale and I was thinking of buying it but noticed that it has a SC inlet manifold for a Rover 2000sc where mine is a 2000tc. My question is, is it a matter of just replacing the SC inlet manifold with my TC inlet manifold. I would also be getting...

    What adhesive to use

    Hi all, Just wondering what adhesive to use on the seal that goes around the edge of the body in the boot as there doesn't seem to be a lot to hold the seal in place. I remember years ago we used to use Bostic I (think) on door and boot opening seals as it was a firm rubbery substance when...

    Ballist Resistor location 2000TC

    Hi All, Anyone know the location of the Ballist Resistor on the 1973 Rover 2000TC. Or is it a Eureka wire instead of the Ballist Resistor. My coil has two white with yellow stripe wires on the + side which means it's Ballisted. Regards Terry H

    Rover Power Steering rack

    Hi All, I have a bad leak on my 1997 Rover Sterling 2.5 rack. I have tried everywhere to get one but none available. No services will do a car of this age either. Does anyone know if there is another car which shares this rack like maybe Honda. Regards Terry H

    Rubber overflow pipe on heater

    Hi All, On the side of the heater box, right hand side of the car there is a short, big diameter pipe that is screwed on to the heater box, it's held on with a bracket and two screws. It looks like it's the overflow for the top of the heater to take away rain water. Mine has had some sort of...

    Headlight problem

    Hi All, I don't know if I have a problem or not but when I turn the light switch on the dash to fog lights the headlights go out and fog lights come on. I don't think Rover would have designed that into the system so I suspect a fault somewhere. Other than that all lights work. I hate...

    Loose wire

    Hi All, While I had the car on the ramps this morning I couldn't resist having a good look around underneath, it's spotless and rust free.

    Knocking noise

    Hi all, I seem to have a knocking noise when I go over a bump on the nearside front wheel, it sounds like Phil Collins tapping a cow bell. At first I thought it was a wheel nut come off and tapping on the inside of the wheel trim, it's that sort of tinny sound. I've not had a chance to...

    Power loss when idling.

    The scenario is, I'm moving down the road at about 30 mph and indicate left. The indicators flash a a regular pace with no problem until I stop at traffic lights. The indicators now flash very very slow and sometimes stop for a long period. The gauge on the dash is holding mid way between + & -...

Does anyone know if they are fitted to any other car. or is there a Rover parts specialist that may supply them. Rimmer Bros don't appear to stock them. Is there such a thing as a...
