Re: Dolomite Sprint OAD

Looks a nice find, while you have the spark plugs out but some oil down each spark plug hole, and then see if the engine will turn over by hand first

James do you try Harringtons to see if they sell Stainless steel bumpers may be cheaper than re chroming

Re: Sill replacement

Hi Ryan
When i replaced mine the step was rusted from the rear door back wards, so i had to make a new step, how much of your step have you cut out, if you've already cut most of the step out, it may be easier to buy a full sill from Rimmers

Re: New toy to play with

Yes it was a Triumph engine, only ever used in the Rover SD1,a bit like the Stag V8 in the day no one liked them, but now every one wants them, today you can tune them so there almost as powerful as the V8

Re: New toy to play with

Its a 2600cc

If you change the engine oil regularly, there's not anything wrong with the engine

for an SD1 the only rust is a little bit on both rear arches, the car needs new tyres as there old, hand brake needs looking at and oil leek on gearbox, and replaced the viscous unit
