The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

I had a LHD 2000 - bog standard that I drove carefully so max ~ 70mph - cruising long distances at about 60mph as I was in no position to rebuild the engine and it gave 32-35mpg consistently (didn't really change after fitting overdrive, I just drove a bit faster.

Early 2000 Mk1 had the temp sender in the thermostat housing, Later mk1 it was blanked off and the sender in the water pump housing. Mk2 had the different thermo casting with no place to drill and tap.

No idea when they stopped the earliest type

Car MOT’d and seems reliable - so barring complete disaster our Swedish registered Arctic 2000 will be starting south complete with the whole family on about the 20th June. Hopefully Doug will have an overdrive gearbox ready dor swapping in ready in time

Maybe you need a filler plug like a stag on the thermostat (weld a boss / thread on or use Ford Fiesta thermostat cover? )and a Stag remote overflow bottle?

Jonathon is spot on but works cars also had a bonnet blister for clearance

Driveshaft UJ's are the same as Discovery Propshaft

These are what Chris sells

Ryco Z63 or Z37 - perfectly adequate - I think 37 is a bit bigger

Alan, I always thought those big tyres on 15 inch rims plus 3.45 diff was a bit optimistic for a manual stag - they love to REV - triumph weren't daft fitttinga 3.7 to the manual - maybe the auto could have coped with a 3.45 although it really needed a 4 speed auto!

Hi Joe, I have a heap of saloons, estates , a Stag and a TR6 - I'm from the UK and live in Stoneville - always happy to help a fellow Triumpher

Me and brother Doug will be in a 64 cactus and rust saloon with gold minilites.
Hopefully without the bonnet up
