I've run into problems fitting the rear screen. Basically I can't work out how the stainless trim trim is supposed to fit. There is a folded edge which looks like it ought to sit inside the channel in the body, adjacent to the rubber. However if I try and fit it like this the screen won't push...

I've got the rear window out, and it seems a good time to look at the non functional demisters. All of the tracks are open circuit, and the problem seems to be rather more than just breaks in the track. It's almost as though the conductive material has completely oxidised. The only continuity I...

This is something that is hard to judge, since I've been driving cars with PAS for so many years. I fully expect the car to be a bit heavy at parking speeds, but I've always been surprised how much effort is required to actually corner (especially when I think back to the manual steered cars I...

Apologies if this has been asked before but I can't find the answer using the "search" feature. I am replacing the rearmost trailing arm bush i.e. the one where the arm connects to the deDion tube elbow. The replacement bush has two slots, and I wondered which way they are supposed to go? The...

Hi I have searched the forums but can't find any mention of anyone experiencing this particular problem. The car is a 1972 2000TC with girling brakes. What keeps happening is every so often one of the rear brakes will stick on - at the same time the handbrake goes slack. After a while the...

Well sadly the time has come to part with my 1972 Rover P6. Its presently MOT'd till Sept 23rd 2013. Some pictures here, I will take some more in a few days. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjw8VGtF Its first reg'd December 1972, so of course is tax exempt. All the original service books are present, along...

Hi I'm posting this in the engine section, following my recent engine swap project. Basically the new engine appears to run very well, the only thing is this strange noise, at idle/low revs. It's hard to describe, but sounds sort of half way between a tap and a squeak. Doesn't make the noise...

Well I finally made a start on my engine swap job. The existing 2000 twin carb engine had been showing its age for quite some time now, and its never really run right on unleaded. It just about tolerates Shell V-power, but not without complaint! But then I was surfing on ebay one evening (yes...

I've located a good 2200SC engine, and am considering it as a replacement for my 2000TC engine, which is getting a bit tired. Apart from a slight loss of originality, it would be a winner all the way really, lower compression, no more twin carb tuning problems and more refined. I'm prepared to...

Sorry I initally put this as a reply in another thread ... Hi, I'm Rob and I was told about this forum by a fellow "ebayer". My car is a 2000TC, first reg 1973, which I've owned since September 2001. Originally its been finished in Mexico Brown, although I decided on a colour change shortly...
