The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

This is definitely one of those "thank god I red that on the forum" threads. I took the headlining out of my car last year to make a new one and haven't put it back yet and when I took it out I didn't bother to record where the rails went. Luckily my roof is slightly simplified in this respect as I ...

Sill depends on how bad it is. Advisories can vary from something that's almost rusted through to some surface rust that should probably be treated before it gets any worse. Have a good poke when you have a look. Looking at the MOT history I would be suspicious of the quality of any previous repairs...

I will have one - do you need the whole lot, or just the solid inner cable (well it's a solid wire really), the outer cable (it's in two sections with a rubber hose jointing piece held by two star washers) with the contact piece that illuminates the dash warning light? On my Royal Blue MK1 I have d...

The easiest way I've fount to drain the tank is to break the fuel line at the rubber hose where it appears at the end of the gearbox tunnel, quickly (before you get too much fuel on the drive!) connect a length of rubber hose out under the car to a jerry can by the front wheel. That way it's all don...

Lloyd has also had a website set up https://southwalestriumphs.com/ which has prices and ordering information.

There is a way to gauge the integrity of the sill structure, jack the car up under the end of each sill and try opening/closing the doors. If all is well the doors will open/close properly. Whether the car's owner will be willing to permit this is also a way of telling....... Yes I suppose that's a...

Hi John, It's a bit quiet on the forum this week as most people are at the national in Paignton. (I'm not as my car is still in bits!) With the arches I suppose to a certain extent it depends how bad the scabbiness actually is and whether you have the equipment to do it yourself. All that get used c...

According to the website Lidl will have the good thinners in from Sunday 24th.

The Stag diff mounts the same way as the Mk1 and estate (i.e with the steel bracket on the back) and the diff casing is a smidge larger to accommodate a slightly larger crown wheel and pinion (but this makes no difference in terms of fitting). All Stag diffs are 3.7:1. The Stag prop shaft input flan...

Taking the dash out on a Mk2 is indeed surprisingly easy (unlike Mk1 where it's welded in!). Remove the various bits attached to the dashboard that will get in the way (wooden bits, centre console, heater ducts etc) them then it just unbolts. Think having the dash recovered has been done (can't thin...
