Noob to Rover/Oldie to British

I'm convinced. Off comes the rear cover.

I will second the very aptly suggested opinion that a series rover will talk to you. It is telling you it has a problem. A problem that might need immediate attention, my last talk with my rover resulted in a locking rear wheel, and it was very obvious when the truck barely moves after releasing the clutch. I figured it out, no problem, but look and observe your series truck. Take the time to tighten bolts, my exhaust down pipe bolt (only one of them ) loves to loosen up. Eventually even nylock nuts on the prop shafts need a small twist, and of course pay attention to the leak or lack of leak under you diffs, and tranny. Post more pics and I agree leave that lovely faded red patina, cheers.

I found the bolts for the ring gear at Moss Motors. The required 3/8" BSF x 1" are not in stock with our benevolent hosts or at those whose initials are AB.

British cars talk a lot more than many cars. One becomes quite adept at identifying which part had just fallen off by its' particular sound as it rolls into the brush. "Oh dang, that was the crank pulley." or "There goes that stupid carb again." or "Was that the passenger seat? Babe? BABE!"

I have been trying to create an album for my truck, but it is hung up on just one pic so I'll feed them in my posts until I figure out about the album snafu.





edit: And just now I received the Green Bible and I see the diffy doesn't have a rear cover. Oh well. A few more steps involved but better to find out what the heck is going on in there now.

Nice rig Slomo!! good luck with the rear dif. Yeah, rubber fishing worms were a bit of a surprise. If you have been baptised with a TR3 you have the basics down. Hope to have both my rigs, 80 TR7 and the 73 Landy up and running next year.
