1965 2000 MK1 for sale on ebay
After 7 years of saying I'm going to put it back together and then sell it, I still haven't, so last Sunday I put my spare car which I bought to convert my 1967 car to automatic on ebay to sell it. The 1965 car will be manual when it is put back together, all the parts are there. Full details and ph...

Thank you
Thanks to the member who took the trouble to track me down amd phone me after the Leyland Show at Gaydon to explain what the problem was with my throttle linkage. You were right, 2 new bushes fitted and I now have a smooth throttle. Thanks again. Mike

Re: Abingdonn MG advert
I did email Simon and this was his reply TBH the web site isn't finding a lot of the stock at the moment which is being worked on, so I'm sorry about that. The web site is supposed to be a link to our main stocking system but for some reason there are bits that don't talk to each other!! Its frustra...

Can anybody enlighten me where am going w...

Re: power steering problem
Problem solved, it was the top uj. Both uj's on the shaft are metal and the shaft can't be removed without removing either the rack or column. I soaked the uj's with diesel using a syringe every day this week, at first rusty oil was coming out of the top one. Steering is now nice and smooth. Thanks ...

Re: valve stem oil seals
It hasn't done i t (smoke) since and I haven't noticed any smoke in the rear view mirror when driving so for the time being I'm going to ignore it. I don't want to do any work on this engine as later this year I will be fitting a rebuilt 2.5PI engine

Re: valve stem oil seals
The seals I was thinking of using were the ones from piper cams which are a combined spring seat and stem seal so the springs hold them in place. But as I've only had the car on the road for a month and only covered 123 miles I think I will keep driving it and see what happens. I only noticed the sm...

Re: power steering problem
Thanks for the tips, I will check it out and let you know the result. Although I've had the car three years I only recently got it on the road. Bits seizing up sounds feasible as it has only done 1,985 miles in the last seventeen years

Re: valve stem oil seals
Sorry to disagree but from researching various Triumph forums today the general consensus is that the worn valve stems/guides mean that when the engine has been on overrun or idling it can suck in oil which is quickly burnt when the engine is revved up again. The cure is to remove the head and fit n...
