Hi James

Good catch...It's just my inept keyboarding skills!

The engine # should actually be 30601373K

The truck is currently marine blue. The engine is a very odd combination of a "gold" colored head and dark blue block, so if it is original, i assume it's been rebuilt to some degree by a PO

Thanks again
Jeff

Hi,

I would be very grateful (if you have time) to add this ex SADF 2B to your list.

Chassis number 33200326F
Engine number 33001567A

Thanks,
Graham

Some folks reverse the wheel cylinders, input to bottom, bleed on top. Some folks park with a steep angle front end up then bleed.

I have some on yours already Malcolm - went to Rover Tech Sales, Solihull and was built on 6/9/60 - the 2nd 1961 model home market petrol I believe. Some of these old entries are worth checking at source tho, so I'll let you know if the factory records differ.

If its not to late chassis No 141100002 1961 series 2 station wagon.

many thanks

Quote from: DogDave on Yesterday at 10:32 PMHi James, if you can fit one more in I'd welcome any info on my 2B FC, reg BTV 9K chassis is 33100509E - I'll look for the engine number in the morning

My pleasure Dave - the FCs are one of my 'to do's generally. I've got yours down as a red export 6-cyl, registered in May 1972 if that's right. Be great to have the engine number.

It's  modern trend when putting items in a list I've noticed, the rule used to be
item1, item2 and item3
or
item1, item2, and item3 (if using the Oxford comma)

now it seems increasingly acceptable to have
item1, item3, item3

which as that headline admirably shows, can lead to all sorts of confusion.

That's right as far as I know bud, people get all kinds of dramas bleeding them like this. I use a big syringe, hook it up, pull a big vacuum, then undo the nipple, to get a sort of pop of fluid as appears to a slow draw. Seems to get rid of that bubble that lurks at the top. There are loads of different techniques... finding one that works for you is the fun part. 🥴🥴🥴

Went with a group to do some lanes. One person said he had a click on his steering, so that was sorted before we left. Then the brake light wasn't working, but worked when stationary! Diagnosed as a faulty hydraulic switch. Then same vehicle, in 4wd spinning wheels locked its gearbox up. Recovered from the lane be removing the drive flanges.

All in all an eventful day, I'm shattered.
