Pete has begun work on our 1966 Reliant Scimitar. It’s in with us for a oil change, chassis and suspension grease along with a general check over and MOT.

The water temperature gauge is currently swinging to max when the ignition is switched on. We will be investigating this do find out if it is the gauge itself that is faulty or if there are any other issues.

The windscreen washer jets also need repaired or upgraded.

The speedo and odometer are both currently not working and the 90 degree pinion drive takeoff from the gearbox has sheered.

We have also been tasked with investigating the options for installing power steering.

Pete has ordered up Choke cable, spark plugs, oil filter, grease caps, washer jets and a 90 degree drive speedo. and has begun investigating the remedial works required to get this stunning Scimitar fighting fit once more.

Top work, Pete
