The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

Those numbers in my last post are the Triumph part numbers - there may be a separate 'head' identification number, but I haven't any info about that.

Mk1 2000 cylinder heads all look the same with the externally visible push rod tubes. According to the official parts book for high octane fuel (ie UK markets)..... Up to chassis no. MB13750, they had a lower compression ratio of 8.5 to 1, which was part no. 512826. From MB13751, the cylinder head h...

Was there a nut between the slave cylinder mounting bracket and engine back plate, as appears to be the case in one of your photos?

Looking at the angle of the 'flats' at the end of the slave cylinder relative to the supply pipe and the bleed nipple positions, which are positioned at 45 degrees in the picture, I would say that the bleed nipple is correctly at the top. I see where you are coming from Bill, but I think it is just ...

What chassis no is your car Joe? Upto chassis no. 69000, Mk1's had a 1" slave cylinder, and after that chassis no. a 7/8" bore. Some argue however that fitting a 7/8" bore slave cylinder instead of the 1" gives a better clutch clearance. Looking at your photo, there looks like there is a nut between...

It sounds like a hydraulic issue, and assuming the fluid level is still ok in the master cylinder, I would do the easiest things first - Slide the rubber boot on the slave cylinder back and see if there is visible brake fluid behind it. If there is, then the seals want changing, but check for scorin...

Welcome to the Forum Ian. As Dave says, it is now a lot quieter due to the various Facebook groups, but still a valuable source of information from members with many years of experience of 2000 / 2500 / 2.5 ownership!

Absolutely no problem.
Glad you sorted the problem - what did you find was the cause?
