Hi. At the end of last summer I posted about my OD issue. I have moved house over winter and the car has been in store. When using the car it will come out of OD when under load - hill or acceleration. This doesn’t usually happen for the first 10 miles or so. Today, I took it for a short drive. When I selected reverse, it wouldn’t move, but whined. This was ok later. It then displayed the same symptoms of being in OD and then coming out under load - but I hadn’t selected OD! When I did flick the OD stalk, it clicked. i was planning to change the oil as a starter. Does today add any more clues to the problem? Thanks, Jim

Hi thanks. We’ll catch him at Stoneleigh then. Jim

Hi i took the risk that my diff was going to be ok and it leaks quite badly. It was also an unknown ratio as the original GB was non-overdrive. Where is the best place to get a refurbished diff for my OD box? thanks Jim

Thanks for the replies all. It will be a winter job to get it sorted. Too busy trying to get some miles on it for now! 🚗👍

Hi. Quick question. My Mk1 is finally on the road. I got an OD gearbox installed. We’re still shaking it down and we’ve found the OD slips out at times. It’s a bit like kickdown and happens mostly when you hit a hill and put some power on. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim

Part no. 811676. New part last year. Sprayed Triumph White, but never fitted. Excellent condition. £100 ono plus postage of £20 (or collect free). in Derbyshire DE61AT. Please ask if you have any questions.

Perfect, thank you. 😁

Thanks Tim. That was what I was told. Drawings aren’t clear, so was looking for verification! 😁

Hi. I have this GT6 front valance spare. I believe it’s a Mk2. Is that right? What’s the difference from a MK1. Thanks. Jim

Hi Rob That looks very similar.  No signs of any black paint on it, it's all just very tarnished metal.  Thanks for the photos and help.   Jim

Hi All.  After a little bit of your help again please.  Just cleaned up my GT6 Mk1 grill and can't tell what colour it was originally.  Was it just plain metal (I assume it's aluminium) or was it painted?     Thanks for your help. Jim

Hi All apologies, I raised the question and then disappeared. I thought I’d get notified of replies, but didn’t. Thanks for all the advice.  I still plan to fit a square DR3 type motor which will be converted to 2 speed.  What’s the difference between the DR3 and the DR3A?  Thanks again. Jim 

Hi Roger   Thanks for replying.  Was there a link in there?     Jim

Also, does anyone know the sweep angle?

Hi I need to replace (it doesn't have one) my wiper motor on my GT6 Mk1.  The part no. is GXE7714.  I can get one of those, but would like to replace with a 2 speed motor.   What are the options and where can I get one?  Lots look the same, I'm just not sure which one is compatible.   Thanks Jim
