| Duly noted to check when driven again. My 300tdi hasn't been used in the last few weeks but I'd not really had the chance to fit the new expansion cap & seals which I knew were damaged and where ... |

| All sorted, topped up with the same red/pink coolant, new rad & thermostat O-rings and a new stock cap. The expansion tank cap on my 2.2 is much smaller than the cap on the 300tdi so at least 2 d ... |

| There hasn't been much development on the Series itself, other than I have taken the 5 wheels off to refurb them over the festive period. My collection of replacement parts, oils, greases and tools h ... |

| Certificate arrived, doesn't tell me a huge amount but it was Marine Blue to start with. Basic 88" RHD Home Market, built and dispatched within 5 days of each other at the end of November 1972 a ... |

| I'm not sure, I thought the russet brown came out with the county models, could be totally wrong mind. I know it was on Rover cars in 1972 but I'm not sure if it was a factory colour in 1972 for an S3 ... |

For the time being the name is going to be oil as the letters in the reg sound like it and it's definitely an oily beastie!
So far, I've accumulated most of the manuals for the vehicle and ordere ... |

| Thanks for the reply, I'd seen posts about the Iveco cap, but it seemed to be for TD5 & Puma not 300tdi & I didn't know if all of the header tanks used the same cap? I was going to order the ... |

| Hi, this is probably going to be a really stupid question so I apologies, but I can't find an answer by searching anywhere. My 300tdi has been leaking a smidge of coolant from the header tank cap not ... |

| Well, it's been bought and collected and now resides in limbo for a few months (probably). It's a tatty old beastie and whilst it probably left the factory brown and as a station wagon it's going to ... |

| The reg does have a few potentials but I've not had the "that's it" moment just yet looking at it. Maybe when it's sat in front of me again something will crop up. |

Thank you, I am really looking forward to starting this project, I was getting close to abandoning the idea.
It does need total restoration. I think it had spent years out in the open but in a us ... |

Thank you, It left the factory as a station wagon originally, but I really want a canvas top option as well. The Patina will stay, hopefully.
