The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

After 7 years of saying I'm going to put it back together and then sell it, I still haven't, so last Sunday I put my spare car which I bought to convert my 1967 car to automatic on ebay to sell it. The 1965 car will be manual when it is put back together, all the parts are there. Full details and ...

Thanks to the member who took the trouble to track me down amd phone me after the Leyland Show at Gaydon to explain what the problem was with my throttle linkage. You were right, 2 new bushes fitted and I now have a smooth throttle. Thanks again. Mike

I did email Simon and this was his reply TBH the web site isn't finding a lot of the stock at the moment which is being worked on, so I'm sorry about that. The web site is supposed to be a link to our main stocking system but for some reason there are bits that don't talk to each other!! Its ...

The seals I was thinking of using were the ones from piper cams which are a combined spring seat and stem seal so the springs hold them in place. But as I've only had the car on the road for a month and only covered 123 miles I think I will keep driving it and see what happens. I only noticed the ...

Thanks for the tips, I will check it out and let you know the result. Although I've had the car three years I only recently got it on the road. Bits seizing up sounds feasible as it has only done 1,985 miles in the last seventeen years

Sorry to disagree but from researching various Triumph forums today the general consensus is that the worn valve stems/guides mean that when the engine has been on overrun or idling it can suck in oil which is quickly burnt when the engine is revved up again. The cure is to remove the head and fit ...
