Apologies for the long post: I have a Rover 2000 SC. I was stopped at lights and white smoke poured from the middle bottom of the car then cleared. I drove on and two days later experienced loss of power when accelerating, the car buck jumping as the engine faltered before cutting out. It...

Where is the wiper delay unit? Can anyone tell me where in the engine bay I would find the wiper delay unit? My Haynes manual lists it in the index but when I turn to the page it's mysteriously not there. Thank you.

Hello, I own a 2ltr 1971 model and have been using unleaded in conjunction with a fuel catalyst in the petrol tank. I got the catalyst on ebay via http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-P6B-RUN-95-UNLEADED-PETROL-INTANK-UNIT-NOW-/350467601454?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51997f342e...

Thanks for all your help and suggestions guys. M.F. Smith I was worried it was looking like a blown head gasket too. I tried your test and started her up with the radiator cap off and soon I was watching bubbles break at the filler neck. Oh dear. At that point I called up P6 expert Nick Dunning...

Thank you very much harveyp6. The temperature gauge goes into the red and up to 100 degrees and the radiator cap appears to be okay but I'll check it again now.

My overheating problems started when my ’71 2000 SC overheated and deposited its coolant over the road via the radiator overflow tube. We diagnosed thermostat problems and drove home without the thermostat fitted which seemed to prove it. After fitting a new thermostat the car was good for a...

Thanks very much everyone, I'll buy that one then.

Hello, I noticed one of the hoses in my recently purchased 1971 2000SC doesn’t look right – it seems to be a straight hose that has been bent over to fit where needed as in the picture below. Looking for the correct part I’ve come across this at http://www.rover-classics.co.uk/partsli ...

Thanks Grim. Right, ordering them next, then I'll get started:!:

Great, thanks very much, you're absolutely right, JRW have them at £20.

Hello Gerald and Grim, Thank you very much for your help. The Haynes manual I’ve got says to remove the veneer , waist moulding, lock knob and window winder to release the door trim panel, but just after the first step of removing the veneer it says ‘undo and remove the Phillips head screws...

Hello, I'm a new member having just bought a 1972 Rover 2000, so excuse me if this comes across as a bit simple! Having had the car out on the road a couple of weeks now the door weatherstrips have perished. Fair enough they hadn't been out in the open air for about 20 years before that! I'd...
