What did you do to your Rover today?

[caperover]

66 Series IIA FFR

Replaced the FFR rotor and fired up the engine with it's new head. (It's ALIVE!!!)

Replacing a rotor always sounds simple, however a P/O had broken the key off of the original and then glued it onto the distributor shaft with silicon bathtub caulk.

Installed the rebuilt head and got it running again. Need to set the valves again, hopefully this ticking will go away. . I don't want to have to dig into the engine again!!

But now my high beams don't work. . hmmmmm

Disconnected the battery and put it all away for winter hibernation.


Found and bought my rover a capstan winch on Christmas day!!!!!!! That will be a fun springtime install.

I was wondering how the Rover was running after the head job! I was going to PM you yesterday as I hadn't heard, but time got away from me.

Trace the wires from the high/low switch on the drivers side floor to the connectors behind the front grille. I believe there is a connection in the wire somewhere near the engine block near the bulkhead that you probably need to clean up. I must have disturbed it while you were fiddling. It happened to me this summer, and a quick go around with the various electrical fittings fixed the issue.

Congrats on the winch, but why the hibernation? The Maine Winter Romp is coming up in February!

[Revtor]

Yeah I figured it's something that I disturbed. . Just gotta get in there and trace it out.

I'd love to make it up to winter romp believe me... But I have no more personal days and getting up there alone would take two days. It's just not in the books I'm afraid. Maybe drive up in my honda and hitch a ride with someone. . ?

There are always extra seats if you go the Honda route. Hook up with the Vermeaters, most of us are planning on going. I usually have a few extra seats, but I am taking a lady from our local club to get her to think about purchasing a Series rover. If all else fails, I will always have a rear seat available.

Finally got around to fitting chains.

All I did today was stare longingly at my 109 as I left for work in the dark, knowing I'd also get home in the dark and not have any time to get to anytime soon.

Continuing the Brake Job on '71 Series IIa ex-MOD. Been through front cylinders, front brake lines, master cylinder, pedal tower, and now... , trying to see if I can continue to use the Reservoir that is there. Surface rust on outside, but basically looks OK. The inside shows no sign of rust, so will clean up outside rust and see what I have.

Installing a new exhaust around my new PTO box. a whole lot of wiggley-porkery required

[busboy]

Just a heads up, my 71 2a master cyl started leaking at the seal between the reservoir and the body so I picked up a SEALED rebuild kit for $90 plus, after I cleaned everything then rebuilt the inside I found the kit does NOT contain the ONLY seal I needed and being it's not an "O" ring but a special seal I couldn't get one. Then couldn't get a series 2a 88 master cyl either so I installed a series 3 109 with no problems. Just saying... the lowest cost is not always the cheapest.

Rebuilt my sticking front left brake caliper. After some research was able to pickup new caliper pistons and seals from NAPA. Gotta love the internet!
