British Leyland Rover's latest activity

I refurbed mine recently, just happened to have a tin of blue enamel boat paint in garage, used cup wheel on outside, few costs of primer and this paint went on beautiful, colour match close enough for me

Some images of our mechanical family member and the 200tdi to be transplanted. No prizes for guessing my surname - the pun is stolen from Quick Pee!

It is recommended to move the inline filter away from the carb, so it isn't sitting directly over a hot manifold.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, it's always nice to see. You've made a good start. Don't buy cheap hoses, I had to replace all of mine after just a year. Get a new thermostat and gasket when you do the coolant. I fitted an electronic...

Fitted the new Weber carb last weekend, along with new plugs, leads and an online fuel filter (still got to replace the points, but I'll do that when I properly service it in 2 weeks time - not being run for a couple of weeks, so no rush). I'm...

I think applying something regularly is the key to the preserving underneath.

I've used Dinitrol before on a Peugeot 205 and it was very good, it gave a nice smooth black finish.

I know you have painted the outside of the chassis but I would still cover the external with a chassis wax as well. I like dinitrol personally as it actually "dries" rather than remaining wet like waxoil.

I didn't know it when I bought them but all 3 companies are British.

I've reluctantly started to give Leylandi series 3, some protection today. Last weekend I used a wire brush on a drill and white spirit to remove old waxoyl then jetwashed. I used Jenolite rust converter and 2 coats of Buzzweld chassis in one...

I've removed the gauze filter because it was knackered anyways. Thought about putting and inline paper filter on instead where it's ready to reach

Good on uncle Stan, SS fuel tanks aren't cheap to buy. A new carb, ignition and timing check should get her idling nicely.

Thank you for adding to the conversation, it's great to know I'm not alone. One of the first things we did before trying to start it when we rolled it out of storage was to drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel. In addition, "Uncle...

My series 3 was running badly so I replaced the Zenith Chinese copy with a new Weber kit. What I now believe is the rusty fuel kept blocking up the carb jets. I would advise anyone recommissioning a series to save themselves the frustration to...

Welcome to the forum. I would suggest a Webber is the most affordable option. Rebuilt carbs are pretty expensive last time I looked. Don't be tempted by the Chinese Zenith, we had one and it was total rubbish. We then got a good 2nd hand Zenith...
