Would be my thoughts also. point is Richard that’s a simple enough check/repair with only needing to remove the transmission tunnel. Could you do that? And if not is there someone in your local group would lend a hand. John

Hi Richard, what exactly is your gearbox doing? I'd have a think through on this, before you go whipping your gearbox out and shipping it off for whats likely to be £2k ish worth of work. The only thing common to all the gears is the gearlever. When you say all gears does this include reverse, and is it the same with the engine off? John.

+1 and be careful useing that tapered bit in the very thin, relatively, metal of your door. John.

Don’t you just love this forum? John

Wow, just seen the horrific floods in Dubai, with 18 fatalities so far, Hope all good with you Toby? john.

Yes especially as you plan to use spacers. My choice would be as Triumphs was 165 x 15 on 4.5 inch rims. Incidently think I have some spacers from back in the days I ran wires, John

Flogging this aren't you?

very grateful Stuart Many Thanks John

Thanks again Stuart TR 6 John

Thanks Stuart putting the tub back on a new, to this car, replacement chassis so it’s all to be worked out from scratch John

That’s a colossal amount of grease to end up there. If the car is a solid axle then not too onerous to pull the driveshaft and change both the oil seal and if needed bearing.just undo lock tabs and six bolts on the back keep all the shims in the same order my money would be on over enthusiastic greasing of the nipple on the end of the axle what’s the other side like? John

I've seen this here before, but have tried and cant now find it. Anyone rattle off the body tub back onto the chassis sequence? I'm thinking must start with the four square body mounts to outriggers? John.

Hi Emrys, I have altered the title of your thread to, hopefully find you better targeted replies, and to help other posters in the future. I do hope this is OK with yourself? Regards John.

You going to do it again, Tim? John.

Just so Rob, and if your insurance company don't know about them, you ain't covered! John.

Thanks Mick my thoughts exactly John

Just wondering, do the addition of solar panels And allied batteries in the loft increase house buildings and contents insurance by much? John

Pretty much agree with all the negative comments here, and I think that in years to come, we,ll come to see that parts availability for our cars, some quality issues aside, was pretty good. John

Hi Maura, welcome to our forum what model of TR? John
