  1. This has been a real weldathon. With a house move causing a project hiatus. July-Sept 2020

    Counter-intuitively I welded on the inner wheelarch on, then fitted the outer wheelarch repair section. Then I took the wing off to repair the hidden horror stories.

  2. Requires some work around the radiator as well as the engine is longer. But as the 2.3 /2.6 was an evolution of the Triumph engine it fits.

    I also heard that the twin cam version of this engine was dropped as it would have made the 2.6 SD1 faster than the 3500 Rover engined version.

     

     

  3. Good luck, and I agree with the previous comments, probably worn cross-shaft bushes and a broken pin.

     

    Just one note the 7/8" slave is correct for the 2000, the 1" slave is for the PI (and 2.5S) which had a heavier clutch pressure plate when new.

  4. Yes, but I've seen several with fabricated ends that look like someone had made a batch. I think might be someone in the Netherlands? My MkIII had horrible cut and bent ends on the bumpers, but I like the look. The one thing about the MkIII, I don't like is the bone in the teeth front bumper.

    I would prefer 1/4 bumpers to the de-bumpered look.
