Pete would you still suggest this if when you short out the sender the gauge goes all the way to and past full? Aidan

Hi, Just in case none if the above works and you want the gauge to read correctly: Mine also only reads 3/4 when the tank is full to the brim! I have checked and changed everything as described above apart from changing the gauge itself. I intend to get my gauge re-calibrated over the winter period and will be sending the new sender along with it so they can be matched. Will let you know how it goes ! Aidan

Well I did mine over the weekend - Not too bad I think - I also had to do a slight adaptation but here's the pic

Please send a picture in when you've done them! I have the original 1968 static Seat belts and yes they flew through the MOT They are the old Square hole type so I am assuming they will fit nicely Aidan

No idea why nothing was fitted in the MK1 to keep the belts tidy! I guess it was a bit of a novelty item at the time (Before anyone shouts at me - I know it's one of the safety feature that the car was originally sold on and I shouldn't call it a novelty!) Anyway I have managed to find some MK3 ones (I did say I was persistent!) - They are in the post. I am going to call it an upgrade to the original !!

Phew! I had a new prop when my car was upgraded with an o/d - Glad to say it was the one with the sliding spline!

Hi. Can someone clarify the difference between the two prop types please. Just for those of us with less technical knowledge Thx

Could well be! it was a picture on the Club Triumph forum of Cookies Mk3 You certainly have me thinking! but I will need the hooks in either case. You are right by the way they are as rare as hens teeth as originally fitted! but persistence is my middle name ! Ha

Hi Doug Yes I thought of doing that however the Mk one does not have an anchor point on the door pillar - I have seen pictures of them in a mk3 but never seen them fitted to a MK1 Not sure if you can fit them without the pillar mount plus if they do not have that mount it's difficult to reach back to get them. It's lucky I have long arms !!

Thanks Doug that's useful - Do you think its just held there with a self tapping screw then? Cheers Aidan

That's not a surprise from RB - £2.46 each plus delivery from a land rover parts supplier! Aidan

Hi - Would be grateful for a picture if you can provide one - The closest I have come to is a Landrover Stwage hook for seat belts part 347541 but don't know if its suitable or where and how to fit Thx

I am fed up with my static seat belts falling out the door when not in use. I don't want to fit inertia reel ones so has any one found a solution like fitting stowage hooks somewhere? Thx

Hi Not sure if this will help as I dont know if your issue is within the locking mechanism itself or the bar that operates it -however I did have an issue with mine to which this document helped a lot lock.pdf Aidan

Try again Final Post on this -Everything completed and now running on the 4 Life fluid from the club So Just some pointers 1 My car took just over seven litres but that's because I have a five Core Radiator which takes an extra half litre - From this the Capacity is 6.5 Litres from Dry 2 For cleaning, the proprietary cleaner came out worst, soda crystals were best 3 When Lime scale is solid and your block drain is blocked (no pun intended) squirt a little drain cleaner in the hole and but the bolt back in then attack with a small screwdriver with its end bent @ 90 degrees (the last ¼”) 4 Use vinegar to clear lime-scale deposits system burps are a good sign J Use the advice above! That’s it folks

Hi Final Post on this -Everything completed and now running on the 4 Life fluid from the club So Just some pointers 1 My car took just over seven litres but that's because I have a five Core Radiator which takes an extra litre - From theis the Capacity is 6.5 Litres from Dry

Hi again Back to this subject - I have now got new hinges and have manages to get the door and old hinges off (they and not the pins are knackered) Anyway just a quick question - In what order do you put the hinges back on to the doors and A post? IT seems that they are all adjustable in terms of position but once the flat philips head bolt is in place I wont be able to get at it again easily. Please can you advise on best way to put back and to align the dorr Thx Aidan

Hi. As you are talking about rear Bush replacement I was considering this as a winter job. Not done anything like this but understand a lot of grunt is required. Can you recommend the tools needed to take this on please. Thx

The guy used to advertise in the courier - All I can find now is an email address Thomas Cope <imp064@yahoo.co.uk> It was back in April 2013 so may have changed. The clun might have some more details on him like a phone number Have a go anyway Aidan

No Problem. I know he creates his own templates for future requests but that's not to say he has the one you are looking for, might be an option to ask him if you have no luck anywhere else Good Luck anyway Aidan

Hi I had a guy rebuild mine using mine as a template - Does what ever veneer and finish you want (Lacquer / Polished etc) It was cheaper than a new replacement from Rimmers. Let me know if you are interested and I will attempt to dig out his details Aidan

Agree totally with that. Xalways learning new things. I still don't like camping though!!!! Sorry

Mine has a standard handbrake although I think its been swapped out from the fly off. Someone did tell me that the fly offs were not good and I was better off without one but I can't remember who Aidan

Checking on the packet soda crystals are actually sodium bicarbonate not hydrochloride so it's not too damaging

Hi all Well the cooling system has definitely benefited from thje soda crystal clean however I am 100% sure there will be limescale in the system as I found quite a build up in the thermostat housing I have now washed out the soda crystals after a week and some long runs (300 miles) so now considering the Vinegar treatment - I can get 5 liters of white vinegar from Costco pretty easily so will add in top up with water and rune the engine up to temp Any thoughts on how long to leave this in ? I was thinking of adding on Saturday next and removing on Sunday bringing the car to temperature each time Will of course do a thorough wash out afterward Aidan
