The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

I'm a bit sceptical about these water-heated inlet manifolds. It seems to me they can't supply any useful heat right at the start, requiring the engine to have already been up and running before the water heats up. They then produce most heat when the cooling water is hottest, exactly when you don'...

My drivers seat is now worse for wear, and I am looking to replace it or recover.

Is it vinyl or bri-cord?

Hi Groupies, My Pacet thermo fan/system has stopped working. My guess would be water in the motor. Looked up Pacet but they were taken-over by Kenlowe in 2014. Kenlowe's web site states they only do electric and only sell to manufacturers and specialists. So, has anyone else had their fan fail and h...

I use Tesco 99 octane E5 fuel. Another 5% Ethanol is to be added, I think, in/after 2021 to make 95 octane E10. Super is reckoned to be left at E5 but I wouldn't put any money on that one. You are certainly wise to replace anything which the fuel touches or is retained in..... must do so myself soon...

Thanks for refreshing my memory cell Cliff, I think the blurb is about right. For me, 3k oil changes and 6k filter change. The only problem is that some of the smaller spin on filter (Wix and the like) might only be good for 3k. Who knows :-) The Z48 is a longer filter and I would only change that t...

cut I managed to track down a Z87A filter and Penrite HPR30 20W 60 high zinc and after changing oil and filter the pressure came up to 60psi and remained fairly consistent. Not sure if the oil or the filter, or both made the difference but I'm happier with that of course. I'm yet to do a test from ...

Actually, that is quite common! I have had several PAS Triumphs over the years, and the feel of the steering does vary - as you say some are lighter then others. This also applies to manual steering as well. Other factors do come into it - i.e. the efficiency of the pump, tyre pressures / tyre size...

There was a long entry in the Register Service Notes "Bible" about 20 years ago, a copy of which was held by an NZ Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register member. It included an NZ Motor Corporation service update on vibration problems. One of the critical points was that propshaft UJ angles had to be withi...

Hi Kev, I've been running a set of CV driveshafts for 16 yrs now and can't complain - it's really fit and forget! I've done at least 40k miles until now without a problem ... As mentioned before you're looking for Stag items for a Mk2, TR6 ones are too short. I believe CDD offer Mk1 items as well. ...

Hello Kev,

Chris Witor sells them, I don't know where they are made.

I know that Alec. CW will only be able to obtain what is available to the market place in general. What I was saying is that the quality of the present GKN stuff is not as good as it was (in my opinion).
