The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

After monumental rain all day Sturday, it dried up early Sunday evening. Did a short trip with the PAS discosnnected. Yes - it is very heavy at low speeds! This made no apparent difference and the pull was replicated, but not so pronounced when driving up the wrong side of the road. So looks like a ...

Thanks to all have responded.

I had wondered about the camber of the road issue, so I think the first thing is a trip down to the M9, which should generally have less of a camber.

After that, I'll have a look at the centering of the rack, which I hadn't realised could go off centre over time ...

I've just got the car back on the road following lay up over the winter. Throughout the winter it was up on stands and hasn't been fiddled with.

Back on the road and MOT'd it's pulling to the left, but not consistently. Tyre pressures checked and re-checked, with as usual 26 front and 30 rear. No ...

I had a problem with my then automatic 2500S a number of years ago which only manifested itself at certain throttle openings. It was traced to the exhaust touching the gearbox cross member as the engine rotated a little under load. At low throttle it didn't come into contact. At heavy throttle it ...

I can't comment on the works of the A type overdrive as I've only ever had J types.

On later cars, which is possibly similar on earlier Mk2s, the cable to the gearbox runs down the front bulkhead inside the engine bay, to the near side of the engine and gearbox. There is a set of Lucar connections ...

I've had a similar problem to that described by others - brake fluid leaking back into the servo casing, then dripping out the bottom.

In my case, I could see the paint had been damaged by the fluid leaking away over the many years it had been in storage (1994-2008). I therefore gave the brakes a ...

I learned about this the hard way in my late teens, over tightening not one, but three. Discovered one of them had come out and was happily sliding around inside the brake drum for long enough to wear an angle in the end!

In the end I had stepped studs made up, with oversize UNC (coarse) threads at ...

Can't comment on the design of the wheels, but I've had problems over the years both with and without tubes. A good number of years ago with my first S, the force exterted on the front tyre when manouevring on full lock into my folks' garage caused the caused it to suddenly deflate. I suspect this ...

Im wondering if its actually Mallard thats faded and that coupled with bad light or maybe just a naff camera is making it look grey. Either that or it could have been a late car thats been reshelled with a body from an earlier model? Seen that before as the thicker gauge metal of the early mk2's ...

Peter,

You rightly questioned how on eart you get rust convertwer into the area affected. I lost a bootlid on the brown car due to the same problem being too far advanced when I bought the car.

I bought one of these http://rust.co.uk/popup.cfm?p_i=405093&p_n=405093, although if you shop around you ...
