The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

What Clifford said, plus the important issue is whether the UJ is worn or not. If they are not worn then don't worry.

They should last years.

I'll stick in a fairly inexperienced thought. Did you try it wet and dry (although as yours were roughly the same you may not need to)? Firstly take the pressures dry then add a drop of oil into the bores and try again. If the pressures increase (the oil should seal the bores) then there are issues ...

I even managed to reconnect the speedo drive (virtually) first time and it is working! Not a job I like as there is little play in the cable and requires a bit of wrist acrobatics.

(When I got the car is was not properly connected and slipping, underreading the speed.)

Many thanks John, now all fitted and functional.

Thanks Johnnydog.

No idea of the length, will try and get out to measure tomorrow (peeing down today).

I assume it runs behind the instruments and not over..........

Does anyone know where I can get the hose from the heater to the drivers eyeball vent?

PAS was standard fitment on some 2000/2500s so will not affect the MOT status.

In fact this could be construed as adding to the safety of the vehicle so is definitely allowed.

Referring to post #2, lift the trim panel around the gearlever and check the wire in there.

This is where mine went - much easier to fix than crawling under the car so I would try that first.

Just a thought, would more vanes create a higher pressure?

What rotor arm do you have? A proper red one with moulded connection?

The riveted ones can cause problems as they heat up (hence the 15-20 minutes?) and then track to earth down cracks in the plastic.
