Nice box of bits from Bearmach. Old intercooler hoses were damaged and swollen so decided to replace with silicone, blue to match the coolant hoses:rolleyes:. Flushed out the intercooler, may want replacing at some point as half the fins are missing. Changed the aux belt, realised there were 2...

The hole is for access when the wastegate seat was machined. Won't hurt to weld a plate over to cover it up (but it means it then won't be serviceable in future).

Nice! love a GT6. Welded up the grooves in that gear selector yoke yesterday, put it back together and still no reverse lights. Pulled apart again and manually operated the reverse switch plunger, it has to go in a LONG way before the lights will come on. So basically the new switch is too...

Cant wait to get stuck into the welding to be honest. Looks like I've finally got some workshop space secured so should be able to spend more than the current 3hr a week on it:D Scims are waiting in the wings. Need to get one of them ready for the 50th anniversary of the club this year!

Thanks everyone for confirming my suspicion that it's aftermarket. Had a google, looks like its an Inalfa sunroof. Think the red push buttons on the side of the handle give it away. It's the only one (front), so probably left the factory without any sunroof at all. I quite like it, so assuming I...

Some more progress last week, spent a couple of hours fitting up the last extended arch. Lots of trimming to do still. Pic of the seat covers in, might swap seats in future but it makes it a bit nicer for now Had a bit more of a look at the rust situation to decide what panels I need. Looks...

Seems a bit silly but can anyone give me any info about the sunroof on my '95 300tdi Disco? It has a lever at the rear to tilt the glass, not a twist knob like I see in other photos. I have checked the parts manual and had a search on here with no luck. Would like to know what it's called so I...

Welcome, nice motor! :cool:

Thanks for welcoming me in the new member section. After almost 7 years of ownership I thought it'd be best to start a project thread for my 300tdi Disco, CAP. Might be worth grabbing a cuppa... I was 18 when I 'bought' it from a previous employer by working off it's value in overtime hours...

Just don't look too closely :D

Both CVH, gold one is 1600 converted to turbo/efi. Red one is a 1900 tall block, still NA. Reliant also fitted the Nissan 1800ti lump and Rover K series in later models.

Yeah all painted over gel, the original primer on the GTEs is supposedly the culprit for bubbling and subsequent flaking. The SS1s suffer differently with flaky clear coat (metallic paint I'll have you know!:D), the PU bumpers are generally OK. We moved recently and I've got a garage now, so...

Yeah the SS1 is a bit odd from certain angles but they both have redeeming qualities. True, the visible bits don't rot, the paint just falls off instead :rolleyes:

Grew up around Reliants so I've ended up with a GTE and two SS1s. Probably not something I should admit to in public :D Planning to tow the gold SS1 to sprint events/track days in future with the Landy.

Thanks everyone! Forth bridge comes to mind...
