I changed out my fuel pump as it was getting noisy. Fitted a Sytec fuel pump with a lower pressure as not needed a high pressure one as I am on EFI which runs on 45PSI. The pump when fitted a year ago was nice and quite and now is noisy with a dull moaning sound. I have a pre filter and a *post filter ( *after the pump). The pump is insulated from the body shell and mounted outside. Is this pump now on the way out or are they noisy anyway?. A gentle hum would be more acceptable for me. Regards Harry TR5 EFI since 2010

First picture self install 20+ years ago. Wood and coal.No flue liner and was 65% efficient. Second picture. Professional install. Flue liner. Stove made in England by Burley. Has secondary burn and complies with all the latest regs 94% efficient leaving hardly any ash to clear out Just love it and burns hardwood only from local Forrester with less than 20% moister to comply with the regs. The difference in heat output and burn from my first to this latest one is night and day. A huge leap. Regards Harry

Well done Sue, 21 again. Happy Birthday Regards Harry

2 and 5 are the usual culprits with the banjo bolts and o rings as you have discovered. Injectors can go at any time and will need bleeding. You will get there and do not give up. The smile at the end of the drive will be so worth it. Lets us know when you have it sorted. Regards Harry

Ian, You are older than I thought! That would have been a horse and cart! A central heating engineer will confirm copper is the best for a rad and I always use this firm to recore my rads as he fits the best out there.( Viking Radiators Denham near Uxbridge) Regards Harry

These seatbelts are not E marked and are therefore not legal for road use in the UK or Europe. Hope you noticed that tr7v8 ? Stuarts advice is very sound. Quick fit know their business that for sure. Regards Harry

There's me thinking I was the only one. I triple check now! Regards Harry

If the rotor arm is the black one with a rivet then thats your answer

I believe if on the production line and not a customer build then they painted them in White. This TR5 has a 1978 tax disc so been on the road ten years so bound to have serious issues.But I agree stuff resurfaces in amazing places. This one would make a nice car but only if you are doing it to keep! Regards Harry

Less than four fill ups of petrol.What do you have to show when the petrol has gone ? Brackets will still be there! Regards Harry

What a great set of pictures. Regards Harry

Adjustable brackets are your friend. Regards Harry

I concur and did lovely jobs for me including the last batch in Magnolia for my TR5 Regards Harry

Wow Chris, seen a lot of bodges but that is a new one on me, what was the previous owners thinking! Try Craig (TR BITZ) as he probably has stillages of those parts or supply you new (moss are good for new) Regards Harry

Had the revs shock in coil for around 8 years I think until I noticed hairline cracks appearing on the top spring hanger.Removed them, welded up the cracks and went back to lever arms (original and properly rebuilt) and not looked back since then. Triumph got it right on day one, is my belief. With our crappy roads the more so. Regards Harry
