Hi all,
I have been thinking for a while about this one and would be interested in a second opinion.
I have a 1977 2200tc. As some of you may know a few months ago I took the De Dion off to sort out the elbows.
Anyway I put it all back together and just before I took it off the road for an engine rebuild I heard a scrapping noise from the back which I am 100% sure means I didn't put in enough grease.
Reading the rover manuals it seems that the later cars were greased for life. The only way to re-grease them is to unbolt it all.
What I was thinking of doing was adding a grease nipple to the tube. has anyone done this and does it sound like a good idea?
Colin
