Wise forum
Need some advice and pictures of air house routing, left hand drive, forgot to take notes and pictures
Thankyou

I just mounted the adjustable brackets and it's a real value for money.
Still have to use the shims to toe in setting, start with original settings.
The camber adjustment is easy.
There are a few YouTube tutorials that helped.

Just a update.
Top up 60% of oil removing interlock switch on top of gearbox.
Drove to the gorilla tight, made him sweat
And pronto:)
Thanks for the help
-
Ok, I'll try filling by the interlock switch.
I did clen the filter and magnetic plug before.
Ad 1,5l them top up when problem solved.
Just to complete, the gearbox was repaired and the plug was gorilla thigh.
A hexagonal nut was welded and that broke out
Thank you for the help

Just a quick update.
Tunnel cover of, crawling under dashboard, trying to undo the squarish filling nut, no way
Is it possible to fill the 2 litres from the the overdrive switch so that I can take the car out where they can fix the issue
-
This forum is a real Alexandria library for TR,s
My main concern now is how to fill the gearbox at least a minimum quantity without go over again taking of the tunnel cover, if possible
-
Thank you I'll have a look
-
Just had the gearbox oil drained and cleaned the filter of the A type overdrive.
Lack of experience, didn't check the filler plug, and when trying to undo...under the car, without elevator, you guessed could not take it out.
Now I have a gearbox and overdrive without oil and cannot drive.
Is the any other way to fill the gearbox? at least get some oil in and get to the nearest garage
thank you wise and experience Trs
-
And I thought thats there was something wrong with me!
Can you send the link?

Chek the reuturn lever on the MU it must be spot on, or it could be a loose screw on the condenser, or progressive coil failure until, road side! carry a replecement it's a easy road side replacement.
13 years PI, and still learnig

When I checked the battery I found that she was leaking, the plastic tray had traces of acid ... and the plastic tray was broken...and when fitting the kidneys a nice trace of white powder over the tunel carpet...
This is wy I started with the battery...
As Forrest Gump said, Triumph are like a box of chocolat, you never know what you are gonna get
Still...
prefer to push a Triumph than to own a MG:)

Thank you wise men
I'll check as propose before replacing the alternator.
It's a option to repair the 16ACR ?
-
Just a update
Replaced battery and inconstancy in amp readings prevails.
Next, ty to use Lucas fault diagnosis manual and check charging and voltage regulator.
Next step, on my wish list is replace alternator but Im confused about wich one of the type prposed on Moss catalog, and also if I need a new voltage regulator and connection kit.
See what type of alternator currently on tr
-
I just check the batery age and is... more than five years hold, and with de "one year of 24 months" it's time to replace and check if there is improvement
Thank you
-
Good evening
I have inconstant readings, most of the times is charging but without apparent reason sometimes is not .
This hapens with lights off or on.
A recent ground connections clean all around, improved the charging always reading +
I suspect the aging battery or the rectifier
Were and how should I look ?
1971 TR, injection
thank you

Symptons pointo to coil, had 2 fails last 10 years...,
This time it took me some nights cave dweling to find that I had the low tension wire connection from the coil to distributor internaly broken, outside and spade connectors in perfect condition.
It was a intermitent failure, a litle greemling was eating the fine copper mesh.
Test the voltage or the ohm resistance of this litle cable while moving it
-
Not that I am aware, is that possible?
It smells different!

Sorry to come over, but
I just changed gearbox/ A type overdrive first atemp to find wy overdrive didn't engage after a gearbox support bracket change.
Used a of the shelf equivalent to EP 90, I was told, and issue not solved.
Check all eletrics and still not working as it should, no engagement 2,3 and 4
Order from moss dynolite 80w90 to check if there is any improvement
Nevertheless ,in between, when opening the fill plug, about 100cc came out as a burst, and stopped after a while.
Is this due to overpressure?
The magnetic drain plug had metal bits, is it too much ? difficult to say .
BB says to click 6 times the overdrive switch to ease out the pressure, does it makes sense?
Next time try to clean the bottom filter, difficult task under a jackup Tr.
Advice of tasks sequence required please
Thank you

What a great fórum we have, sharing is all about

Good lead
try to source new rubber hose etanol resistent

Good evening wise fórum.
Formaly in my 1971 tr6, I could ear petrol coming back from MU INTO the tank , on idle.
For No apparent reason it Started to leak along the return pipe to the tank where ruber replaces cooper, even when circlips were set...
It looks that I have a strong pressurized fuel return.
Try to blow all the way and there is no resistence
Petrol cap os original, makes no diference when open
Where to look ?
Thankyou
-
I just have the same and it works perfectly.
Use it every time I park the tr and take the l shappe key with me.
I did clean it during the process of ground earh contact points challenge, it paid of, no more current drains the batery is charging happily.
Strongly recomend
