The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

I recently discussed what we put in our output dashpots at a car meet. For me it’s always been 3 in 1 oil. One guy preferred TQF (PAS/Auto fluid). The other guy used ordinary 20/50 mineral oil. I recently refurbed my twin SU HS6’s and talking to Burlens the guy recommended their stuff but agreed 3 i...

Hi Forkie I fitted a new PAS rack to my 2500TC last year. The old one was the original (1976) and leaking badly. I considered having a go at refurbing it myself but when I looked into what was required it worked out cheaper and easier to exchange it for an already refurbished one. I ended up getting...

Have you checked the valve rocker shaft and rocker/valve clearances? I had a lack of power problem recently and it was a broken rocker. Quite a few of the oilways were blocked. A new rocker and a strip down and cleaning the rocker shaft and rocker oilways sorted the problem. Checking fuel and igniti...

Hello Alec Thanks for your comprehensive reply on this. It’s interesting to know how others have handled the situation. Like me, they are probably knocking on a bit and not as agile!

Does anyone have the tools for dismantling rear hubs and changing the wheel bearings? It looks quite specialised. Looking at the manual they quote references to Churchill tools. I know they supplied a lot of the tooling for BL and most UK garages had their tools on a the wall in their workshops back...

I have fitted all new rubber bushes to my front suspension & steering and I used the standard poly bushes from CW. I will be doing the rear trailing arm ones next. I must say that it was only one bush that was badly worn, the rest were in reasonable condition considering they were 47 years old!

I have this trouble also. My one is not particularly good and I have to remove it soon to get the clutch master cylinder out. I managed to get hold of a second hand one in a bit of a state and thought about modifying the back section. This is riveted on and I am thinking about taking out the rivets ...

I have always used car shampoo mainly Turtlewax but these days I generally just use the Halfords own make. Followed by a real leather dry off. With regard to wax as Johnnydog said it is mainly silicon based these days. Years ago I knew a body repair guy and for a final finish he used to use Mr Sheen...
