Good job H that looks a little low, mind the humps just past our house, you could always fit on of theses to the underside of you car.

I use this one in the TR works well and no interference, also just fits under the front of the drivers seat, not used a lot when Carole is out for a run with me as she just likes to listen to the things going on around us.

Hi Mick, yes home made just fixes with 2 self tappers so easy to remove, it has a absorbent sponge underneath.

Morning Pete, there’s always something in the way when you try to make it look good under the bonnet, all you can do is install and clip it away for moving objects. Have a look at you + cable from battery on the fixing bar for the battery.
as my photo there’s always something in the way.Mike Redrose Group

H I have seen you in the outside lane of the motorway and you were not hanging around.

Good time to flush that heat out if you have some long hose to connect and hang it out of the drives door, on the steering rack I was advised to get this type of rack mounts with the mileage we do, bit pricey but there is no chance the rack will move. It’s good your doing you photos and posts we all need a helping hand at times, I am going to look a my heater hoses tomorrow I think there ok but but not checked for a while.

This is great news Im on holiday all week, we should have been away at Hindringham Hall but had to cancel, so will probably get out for a few runs without the need to call a shop.

Afternoon Pete, looking like your getting your water problem sorted, as you have no antifreeze in yet looking at all that crud from your pipe work I would take out the radiator not much of a job, and give it a good clean out by shaking it around with water and radiator cleaner you get more crude out doing it this way than just flushing with a hose pipe. I would also disconnect the heater hoses and flush that out both way but with not to much pressure.

Paul this may not help but as you have no give in the hinges are you door rubbers stopping you from closing the doors correctly, just remove the door rubbers and check the door closes as it should, I had this problem when I put new door seals on last year, in the end I cut a small amount or rubber off on each side at the bottom of the B post.

As I am on holiday for a few days I went to pick up our takeout up in the TR, and I had to go the long way round to pick it up, it was very nice just like the drive.

Just had a look in my Triumph book and it says 4lb for tr4 then shows the difference for the 4a radiator but no mention of cap size, so for me it doesn’t mention changing the cap I’ll stick with my 4lb.

Morning Pete, this is probably not going to help as fact but this subject has been around for quite some time what is the correct cap for tr4a. Some say 4 others say 7 all I can say is that Brenda has a 4lb cap and we don’t seem to have a problem, the original one that I had with the car is also a 4lb cap and that one is in the boot as one of the many small bits I carry round.

Pete how much water have you in you radiator, my tr only had water up to top side of the fins inside the radiator if I filled it up to the top it would push it out into the overflow bottle, it my be you have to much in.

regarding the oil filter if you have the old paper filter and you are having no problem with it why change it,

Pete a good day work, but before you put your antifreeze in see if you can get the water tap off on the drivers side of the block just above the starter, water should flow from this, if not get a welding rod or similar and have a poke around to see if water flows, this tends to got blocked if water is not changed regularly.

Rich that looks fantastic well done another TR saved time to put you feet up for a week or two.

Tr4 brake servo
in TR4/4A Forum
Posted · Edited by BRENDA1
Looks like I need to do some more investigation in to the servo as mine was on the car when I got it all works well, does as it should when being tested no problems when I bleed the brakes but what is being said is that the white part should not be on the top!
