The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

There's no real comparison in my opinion between the Mk1 2000 especially with the very late MC engines, and the late Mk2 2000's. In all the 2000 models, the late Mk1's and the very early Mk2s were the best performers (in my opinion, for what it's worth!) Has your Mk2 2000 got HS4 carbs, or is it one...

Was the performance better before the recent cylinder head work, the same, or worse?

You haven't said what age of Mk2 2000 you have other than a late (r) model. From late 72 / 73 changes to the engine in 2000 models meant a reduction in performance. They were fitted with dome top pistons and the Stromberg carburettors were changed to (I think) to CDS3 types for emission purposes (on...

Apologies - the text highlighted with the two red dots in the first picture above is not very clear.
It states - "Rotate pinion until rack is centralised i.e. the dimple on the rack shaft lies in the middle of the thrust plunger aperture".

I wouldn't have thought that 1/4 cwt (28lbs) would make that much different to the cars performance - its only about 12.5 kgs if my maths are correct? An average adult is approx 80 - 90 kgs, so I'm wondering if your problem lies elsewhere. Have you gone through all the usual checks, compression, sta...

An extract from a Stag manual regarding the assembly of the steeringbrack, and more importantly to this topic, the centralising of the rack, which equally applies to the 2000 / 2500.

Here is a picture from CW's website to give you a clearer idea of the shim relative to their fitment.

Further to Forkies post, the shims are one piece per side spanning both bolts, and have two open ended slots in them. To fit them, the two bolts from the shackles through the box sections only have to be loosened to slide the shim/s in rather than having to remove each individual bolt to fit them wh...

If you think it is in the driveline, I would undo the fixed flange end of the propshaft and turn it through 180 degrees. Has it been replaced the same way as it came off relative to sliding joint? There has been previous discussions on here as to which way round is the best to fit them. Removal of t...

Centralising the rack also ensures the correct self cancelling of the indicator stalk. Not necessarily. I had a Stag where every single component of the system had been incorrectly set up. The upper part of the column with the self-cancelling mechanism had been misaligned at one of the joints conne...
