The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

Congratulations indeed, and well-deserved!

Excellent to hear of another 'Coventry hot-rod' back on the road Enjoy!

The back two injector pipe unions DO have non-return valves, but of a different design (banjo fittings).

Whilst memory might be playing false, I think the only way of dealing with those is to replace with better/new...

The 2000/2.5, Stag, and TR5-6 ranges all have differentials sharing the same basic design (Standard-Triumph 'Large Car'), but with lots of detail differences across models and years of production. Accordingly, you may find the bits you need from a TR or Stag specialist, but I am afraid that you will ...

The August 2019 edition of SIXappeal (No.228) has an article about the Malines/Mechelen assembly plant.

The numeral prefix to the Commission Number indicates that the car would have been assembled at one of Triumph's overseas assembly plants (Belgium, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand). I am pretty sure that '1' signifies assembly at Malines in Belgium. Some LHD cars were also assembled at ...

Did you add many mile sin those 15 years? How has the injection system held up? Still using the original Lucas pump?

Not as many miles as I might have liked, though that is due to me, not the car. :)

PI system has held up fine, and is one of the particular joys of the car (though what the ...

As far as I am aware, oblique following the window line. I think that the original alignment was on the glass side of the brightwork strip, but some cars do seem to have the leading edge of the vinyl in line with the rear edge of the brightwork, so perhaps the exact placement varied from car to car ...

Question. How do you adjust the brake adjusters? Is there a slot in the back plate that I can’t see that you put a screwdriver in to adjust for example?

Normally I would slacken the brakes right off, fit the drums, tighten the brakes until the drum stops turning and then slacken off a few turns ...

Just to muddy the waters a little, I used to have a pfl M regd (so post August 73) 2.5PI without o/d, and it was original, only 21000 miles when I got it.


The exception that proves the rule? :wink: :lol:

Perhaps - a possibility that John has already noted - a late registration of a car built ...

The parts book is a bit of a minefield and confuses things even more :roll: , but it only refers to the 'J' type as being fitted from a particular gearbox number rather than chassis number

That it does - not helped by quoting a changeover point for PIs against what is evidently a 2000 gearbox ...
