The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

I think you would probably be best contacting two owners of these vehicles, the Triumph 2000 Register President Andy Roberts, and the Deputy Chairman Alan Chatterton; both of which may have the information you are after.

It would be good of some local members to Dorset could make it in their Triumphs! Local Groups are an important aspect of the Register, with the information and advice that is freely available from the experiences of other Group members. Runs out in the Triumphs in the spring and summer months, and ...

Personally, I don't think you will have a problem. I would certainly drain off the old fuel, and once replenished with new, my bet it will be ok (assuming it was running ok before being laid up).
I have a carburettored 2000 which had been laid up for approx 6 years before I put it back on the road ...

Welcome to the Forum Nick! It's a bit quieter than it used to be, but there's still plenty of helpful info to be gained!

Hi Nick,
I'd be tempted to drain any remaining fuel in the tank from underneath, and then put a couple of gallons of super unleaded in it. I use either Shell V Power (but it's expensive) or Tesco 99 Momentum which I prefer to use if just for the reduced cost. I use it in my modern cars and they run ...

If you think they have been removed previously, then maybe CW's info may be of assistance.
I'd put some sealant (the light grey compound ...

Having owned these Triumphs for 46 years, I have never had any issue with the original driveshafts. Others may have had experience of the CV jointed types, and the improvements in fitting them, but at that sort of cost, I can't really see any necessary benefit for me, and having more than one ...

The anti vibration straps were only fitted from relatively early models to stop fore and aft movement of the subframe bolt, as the bush alone with just the one bolt secured through the floor wasn't deemed sufficient to stop any such movement. Once you are happy the head of the new mounting is in the ...

You are right Simon, the rear hubs are sealed and not greaseable.
I don't know what grease you are thinking of using on the sliding splines, but I find CV joint grease as good as any.

Good job!
However, I think you made the job far more difficult by not removing the driveshaft and hub as one unit. It's a really easy job - drum off, remove the 6 hub flange nylocs, undo the tie / gaitor wire on the inner shaft, and remove the whole driveshaft as one! No need to remove the shoes ...
