Re: clutch siezed
I appear to have the clutch stuck or seized in some way. I have good pressure at the pedal and proper movement on the slave cylinder/bell housing lever. The trouble is with the clutch out and engine running I can still select all gears as if the clutch is stuck disengaged all the time ... The clutc...

Re: Cross shaft lever
Hi Peter, I believe that the B&B clutches have a thinner mounting flange to the cover plate, requiring the use of shorter bolts to obviate the risk of them bottoming in the flywheel drillings and leaving the cover assembly incompletely clamped to the flywheel. If so, this could presumably cause the ...

Re: Cross shaft lever
I think that the situation is variable depending on a number of factors, not least the type of clutch fitted and the bore of the slave cylinder (at one time, different bore units were specified for 2000 and 2.5 applications), also possibly the type of release bearing carrier. Use of the bottom hole ...

Re: Viscus coupling fan start temp please
Hi Alec, Late 1970's/early 1980s Jaguars certainly had the bimetallic type of VC fan coupling as standard, and I think perhaps some Rover SD1s as well. It's been ages since I've seen a Triumph VC unit in the flesh, however, so not sure whether they are of the bimetallic type or not. From memory, the...

Re: Viscus coupling fan start temp please
Hi Alec, As a matter of interest, at least some of the Holset/Torquatrol viscous-coupled fans do have a temperature-related characteristic; i.e. they uncouple at higher revs (when ram-air effect should be at its highest) in order to save horsepower, but the point of uncoupling is variable dependent ...

Re: Since when has a 2000 been a Stag?!!
Typical reaction: Seen from the front, it's a 'Stag' Seen from the back, it's a 'Dolomite' (including, one one memorable occasion, from a gentleman driving a rather nice Stag... :shock: ) Failing that, it's a P6 Rover... :roll: Odd thing is, when on a couple of occasions I've gently corrected the pe...

Re: PAS Rack Rebuild Kits
There were two makers of the racks. One was AdWest and the other ....... name escapes me at present. Alford & Alder. An S-T subsidiary, I believe, though possibly absorbed into Jaguar by the early 1980s (or perhaps it was shut down and Jaguar merely inherited some of the production plant). The Stag...

Re: Sealing the subframe mounts to the floor
Dum Dum (as Ted suggests) or perhaps one of the non-setting windscreen sealants? Whilst excellent in many ways, the one problem with silicone sealants is that, once set, they don't stay sticky and so cannot reseal if slight movement occurs between the two sides of the joint. I think that Triumph's o...

Re: Oil pressure rising problem in 2.5Pi
Could it be the problem in oil pressure relief valve ? I didn't check it when the engine was off the car. Hi Pertti, The oil pressure relief valve can be a source of pressure loss if the valve head is not seating properly on its seat within the block casting. I don't know whether a problem at this ...
