The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Ah, the PRV! New ones are not available but there have ben a couple of threads on here about seal kits and I believe the club had some made though whether there are any left I couldn't say. Its not a good idea to bypass it cos it was put there to stop the back brakes overpowering the fronts under heavy braking which can make the car change ends unexpectedly and violently!

Give it a soak for a few days in bilt hamber de-ox solution and it may well come back to life.

I've recovered quite a few hydraulic cylinders in recent months using this stuff.

Thanks Jon, i'll give that a go.

I've just checked the current club spares list and the LSV repair kit is still listed. Another good reason for joining the club!

Looks stunning!

Getting there now, rolling road this week, then unfortunately for sale.......................

Your rear anti-rollbar is upside down and will clonk the the underside of the floors.

Lovely car - same Vermillion as my Sprint and an inspiration to get my arse in gear to finish it.

Why sell it after all this fun?

Thanks guys.............

Wiggybum, I have rectified the ARB issue, it became apparent when I tried to fit the prop up! Unfortunately, I did the car to use for our wedding, but didn't get her completed in time, but I have spent so damn much on her, I have got to sell her to get on with my other project(s).

DoloWIGHTY, I have sourced a rubbing strip and it is now fitted thanks.

WOW! That looks just wonderful...

beautiful car, i love vermilion!

Proud TDC Member!

Car is now in new hands and has come to me for some fettling.

I don't know if it was rolling roaded, but it doesnt run quite right at the moment.

I will add my findings if Lee is in agreement.

Suffice to say that the paint job is indeed top drawer, and underbonnet it presents very well in the flesh.
