The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

Admittedly, it's a very awkward job. The valve on my car has been stuck for as long as I've owned it (1981). I took the easy way out of a gate valve in-line, it's open in winter, closed when it's properly hot weather and just cracked open the rest of the time for a bit of demisting. It would be nice...

That is really good work with the new inner strengthener section, I did mine in 1988, I had to make everything by hand, although CW sold me a pair of stanpart outer sills.

I don't have an automatic Triumph personally, but as you have observed the starter ring appears to be the wrong way round. I expect an owner of an auto will be along soon with their opinions but to make a proper assessment all the components will have to be removed. Regarding replacement parts I fin...

Great progress that and the new and stronger shafts with the later modification should be fine, the new cv shafts I'm told are excellent but the old Triump design has worked well for many of us for many years. It's all down to correct assembly, and although I've added a grease nipple to mine, your's...

I don't know the full mileage but the...

I have copied and paste this from MSN which said it was from the Daily Telegraph. I don't think 2 and a bit out of 5 is a majority, and only 1000 respondants but is the Federation of Historic vehicles aware? Classic cars could become subject to MOT-style safety checks after a majority of the public ...

Thanks Forkie, you are spot on about the effects of damp air and there's plenty of that where I live in Lancashire ! I covered the car with a large dust sheet and numerous sets of old curtains a few weeks ago when it was very cold but dry, whereas if I'd have waited for the warmer wetter days to ret...

Thanks Clifford, you have made it sound all nice and easy, so maybe I'm worrying a bit too much. The rodents don't seem to be a problem in my garage maybe as I'm in there quite a lot (or so my wife claims!) . I'll keep on top of the pedals as well and try and squeeze in the occasional run out too, i...
