The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

Okay,having followed this problem from the beginning of time!,here's a check for you. Jack up the car, remove both front wheels and apply footbrake a couple of times to allow the wheels to "drag. Now take a hammer and clout the calliper on the "lump" in the casting where the piston is. Does the ...

Remove pads from one calliper, fit a spacer(wood or soft metal) to one side, to keep that piston in place. Pump the pedal a few times keeping an eye on the other piston movement after two or three strokes. With the piston out about12/15 mm, spray it with WD40 ,tear a strip of cloth about 25 mm wide ...

This is ,as John states, insulation,which also fell off my front cover and was firmly re-attached. It could be for noise as John has suggested, but I wondered if it was also to stop oil emulsification inside the casing due to the big fan being dead in front and blowing hard over it.If anyone here ...

John ,This is a problem I have with my car.It seems to happen more with certain paint pigments, especially red.You must have noticed my manic activity to dry my car immediately any rain stops, as it seems to be the only way I can reduce the effect of raindrops. It seems that Cellulose paints only ...

John you are absolutely correct! In the 50 + years of owning Mini(van)s and big Triumphs,I have lost count of the number of clips I have fitted! I have had the occasional clip send me on a treasure hunt in it's bid to escape, hence I have about a half dozen new spares. As you say, if the groove is ...

Ho Boy!!, isn't it funny how the old mind works,,,,,,,,,,Without a word of a lie,I honestly went to the link whilst wondering what a Triumph would be doing in the back of ............A covered trailer.. Did I larf!!!
As you say, looks good with great cast,I'll keep an eye out for it!.
Thanks Dave ...

Had THIS before! Next time you run the car and it starts acting up, go round to the back of the car with the engine running.Put your hand over the exhaust tail pipe and it should get "blown off" If so, all is well with the exhaust, if not, you have a collapsed baffle or blockage in the system.Once ...

Good line up of cars John, definitely blessed with great weather, looks a smashing day!
Well Done,
Bill.

As usual John, a perfectly easily explained solution, and we now have a very grateful and informed new owner!!
Please keep up the good work, you are an absolute legend and walking(when the old knees allow!!) encyclopaedia on all things Triumph.
Cheers John,
Take care!
Bill.

Stevey,
Wellcome to the ...

Hi All,
If my memory serves me right,Lee Godfrey had this problem.To get around it,he fitted 14" Stag steel wheels with tyres to suit.He also said that the 13" P.I. trims did fit, just left a 1/2" wider rim edge, which is neither here nor therein they looked as per original. Always worth a thought ...
