Introduction
This handbook is intended for the owner
who wishes to find out more about his car and
wants to keep it serviced fully, but with the
minimum of effort, so that it provides economi-
cal, reliable transport.
In this handbook are all the routine main-
tenance tasks required to keep the car running
well, and the tools and other things needed to
do them.
All cars over three years old are subject to
the official roadworthiness test. Details of what
the tester will be looking for, and how to check
them yourself are given, along with guidance in
looking at secondhand cars.
Cars are not perfect, and diagnosing faults
can be a great problem; therefore a methodical
guide to fault finding is given. Much time and
trouble can be saved if reference is made
straight to this book instead of hopping from
one thing to another.
If success in tackling the jobs on your car,
given in this book, encourages you to take on
more complicated work, a very useful Owners
Workshop Manual is available from the
publishers, or through all good accessory shops
or booksellers.

Model Identification
The Rover 2000 was introduced in October
1963. It has a 1978 cc chain driven single over-
head camshaft engine with a five main bearing
crankshaft, which drives the rear wheels via a
remotely controlled four-speed all synchromesh
gearbox and hypoid geared final drive unit.
September 1966 saw the introduction for
the UK market, of a more powerful version
designated TC and an Automatic model
embodying the proven Borg-Warner model 35
transmission system. Minor changes to various
components have been introduced throughout
the production run but the first body restyling
was carried out in September 1970.
The car is a four seater luxury saloon, with
all wing panels and mechanical components
bolted to a chassis skeleton. Hide upholstery,
protective bodywork undersealing, radial tyres
and hydraulically operated disc brakes on all
four wheels are standard equipment.
Suspension is independant at the front and
semi-independent at the rear, with unsprung
weight being kept to a minimum by mounting
the final drive unit to the base frame. A De
Dion tube is used.

Tools
To carry out the routine maintenance tasks
in this book you will obviously need a reason-
able set of tools. A really comprehensive tool
kit will be expensive to purchase at one go -
most home mechanics have built up a kit over
the years as they have tackled new and more
complicated maintenance and repair work. This
way the cost is spread out. Remember though,
it does not pay to buy cheap tools; they may
break and damage yourself and the car. Tool
factors are to be found in most towns, so talk
things over with the proprietor. Tell him you
are not interested in buying rubbish and he will
think more of you and tell you what is value
for money.
The following list suggests the tools required
to undertake the work detailed in this book, so
when you've got them, keep them together
where you know they can be found (preferably
in the car); you sometimes need them at the
most inconvenient times:—
Set of combination spanners (ring one end,
open ended the other) to cover the range
5/16 to % inch AF
Open ended spanners 2 to 6BA
Adjustable spanner, 10 inch, parrot jaw
Spark plug spanner
Pair of 6 inch pliers
Screwdriver, medium 8 inch
Screwdriver, crosshead 8 inch
Screwdriver, small electrical
Brake bleed nipple spanner
Set of feeler gauges
File, medium cross-cut, with handle
Hand cleanser (Swarfega)
Overalls
Clean, non-fluffy rag
Besides this list, always keep an adequate
supply of the oils, greases, etc, which are listed
in the Lubricants Section of this Handbook.

Heating and ventilating


With the fresh air heating and ventilating
system, air flows through a built-in grille and is
assisted as necessary by a blower. It then passes
to an air mixing chamber with various valves to
control the temperature and direction of air
movement.
The ‘air inlet valve’ is opened by means of
the main contro! lever (A), on the right-hand
side of the console and will allow air to pass
into the air mixing chamber. 1

The cleaning is best done on a sand blasting
machine at a garage. This not only removes the
deposits more easily than cleaning by hand but
also tests the condition of the plugs under
compression. Wipe the insulators externally
before refitting the plugs to the car.
Particularly on TC models, if the car is
continually driven hard, on motorways, con-
sideration should be given to replacing the plugs
every 6000 miles (10000 km).

of the items will require attention during the
period of ownership of the car.

If the condition of the wheel cylinders is in

If there is any possibility of incorrect fluid

they will be affected and could possibly fail

Fault Finding Charts
How to use the fault finding section
The fault finding section has been compiled to help the owner deal with two very different sets of
circumstances. The most annoying and frustrating type of fault is when the car will not start or when
it breaks down on a journey. For this there is an elimination chart that goes methodically through
various tests. The other type of fault is the worrying kind: odd noises, or the car not going properly.
These have been tabulated under the heading of the symptom. Even if you cannot rectify one of
these latter faults, you must at least be able to find whether it is safe to continue.
The following main groups have been used to separate the information:

The Chart The Tables


Engine stoppages General engine faults
Electrical failures
Clutch defects
Brake defects
Running problems
Tyre wear

Engine stoppage: It will not start, or stops on in the chart as ‘starter cranks sluggishly’.

various tests. These are listed after the chart.
