To all T2000 register members The 'very fine car' (71 VFC) pictured on the back of the June edition of 'Six Appeal' changed hands last weekend. It now belongs to Kevin Perry, previously famed for his

Yes. No - well, maybe a bit. It was true of many early cars with low compression ratios and low rpms. They didn't have a sump but had a header tank of oil which was just dripped onto the moving parts

Hi All, I would like to confirm all that Andy has said. The GD engine was introduced in 1963 specifically for the 12/50 model which gave it an edge over the normal (GA) 1200. It was the Spitfire engi

Just an observation: This is probably the set-up from the Dolomite 1500TC. If so, I understand that there is a persistent problem of the pipe to manifold joint gasket blowing. I assume this is due to

Jeremy, Most top ball joints are pre-packed and sealed so you can't grease them. I don't know if they're still available, but there was a version with a grease nipple on the top so they could be grea

Hi Chris Sorry, no positive suggestions. IMHO it's probably just a bit of gasket that was dropped in at some point. Early cars had a gauze filter on the oil pump intake. Later cars I think had a piec

Rich, Did I reply? Well, anyway, probably yes. That's if I can get steam up on my 2.5. The Herald's UJ's are knocking so badly that I won't risk taking it. Another job before winter. Is anyone else o

Reply from Philip Barnes That's right, Rich. The bent backplate is caused by forcing the gearbox back in using bolts rather than doing the job gently. The backplate flange moves backwards, springing

Believe me, it is true. It causes very juddery clutch take-up and eventually leads to the breaking up of the clutch plate. In this condition it makes no difference what make of clutch you use, but in

My non-Triumph contribution is the Alfasud. The handbrake operates on the front wheels and you have to take the engine out to replace the cables. Nice one. By contrast, all Triumphs are wonderful. Bu
