Never seen a capacitor attached to the voltage stabiliser but I guess it could be something to do with smoothing. I think the stabiliser is 12v in and 9v out to the gauges (2 of them). Yes, I would think you could do away with it but a previous owner must have considered a need for it. However, new ...

just an aside,

modern equipment seems to work in degrees, so some conversion required?

According to two official BL workshop manuals (AKM 3974 and AKM 3647/A) the figures differ.

I was not aware, never having an 'S' that the wheels needed adaptors for standard balancing ...

Hi,

Can anyone provide tracking data for a T2500s such as toe in/out? Pointers to publications is o.k. but much of my Triumph manuals and documentation is in storage at the moment.

Hi Groupies.

I don't know what the Chinese calendar name is for this year but for me it is the year of the wheel (and tyre).

First, a Rover 75 (not the 1950's type). 3 Seasons wheel/tyre changed for winter types (what winter I hear you ask, but you know if they had not been changed we would have ...

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 ...
