  2. Front turret fractures

    Hi Richaras, Stuart as usual is correct, it will mean removing the engine. I had the same issue, but due to accident damage. CTM did come up with part. Mark Johnson in the Midlands did the job. I booked the car in with Mark, he did the job in way he suggested, and in the time he said.  Russell,  also in the Cotswolds.

  5. 5 speed Mazda "Vitesse Global Ltd" gearbox conversion.

    Good morning all.

    I write to ask if any member has had "first hand experience" of the five speed Mazda gearbox conversion by Vitesse Global Ltd.  Specifically, only in connection with the Triumph TR2 to TR4 range.  Is the gearbox a good fit, does the gear lever sit in the correct location, does the gearbox tunnel require modifying, any issues with the speedo drive mechanism.

    Thank you. Russell

    Hi All.

    I am trying to positively identify a camshaft on an engine rebuild. Stamped into the end is "TR4. 244. DC", and into the casting itself, about midway is the number 301466. Is this number a Revington casting number? and what type of camshaft is it please?

    Thank you Russell

    CONCLUSION.

    Since my last comment, I have had two more connections with the MIB and the DVLA. The MIB assured me that the situation was now closed, and a week later the DVLA told me my car was still not on the MIB database, and that action could still be taken.

    Following a letter I sent to the DVLA, CEO, ( I am sure it never got to her ) I had an "e mail" from the Enforcement Customer Experience Manager. He stated in his e mail that "I can confirm that the case is closed and you will hear nothing further". Almost seven months from the first contact, I do trust he is correct.

    For those who may ever be in a similar position I now have an actual e mail address, and the name of a real person at the DVLA. if ever you feel the need.

    THE END  ( I hope )

    Roger.

    I would agree with all that has been said previously. 

    As a more recent member I really have appreciated your advise, and your engineering help, particularly with regard to the TR2 early bonnet catch spun spring pockets.

    I hope you will not mind if I keep in touch if there are any TR related issues that I need advise on.

    Kind regards, and stay safe. Russell

     

  20. D V L A car uninsured penalty.

    Today, the DVLA, in correspondence with the Motor Industry Bureau, have agreed to "close the case against my partner with no further action required". About b----y time too. This issue started off in June. My thanks to the Motor Industry Bureau  (MIB), who eventual, somehow, managed to get the DVLA to agree their was no case to answer. I found that dealing with the DVLA was next to impossible. The only certain way was to reply to their "letters", with a letter to be signed for by them. At no time during the process did I have a persons name to reply to directly, or to e mail. You stand no chance whatsoever of speaking to a real person on the phone. The whole thing is a disgrace.

    For those who are not aware, the MIB have a huge data base. They are able to make connections between, Taxed, SORN'ed, and uninsured vehicles. This information is also used by the DVLA, and the Police, in order to crack down on uninsured motorist.

    If you find yourself in a similar position, good luck, without the help of the MIB, who you can speak with, you stand almost no chance.

    Help Please.

    My wife has had a series of letters, dating back some weeks from the D V L A  enforcement centre, saying that her car is not insured. The first letter back in June stated, "if the car is now insured, ignore this letter".

    My wife's car has always been insured, and over that period of time we have sent details of our insurance documents, our underwriters have also sent confirmation, our details appear on the  M I D. ( motor industries database )  confirming that we are insured. Yesterday we received an other letter saying that a fixed penalty notice must be paid for £50 by 23rd Nov, or the penalty will increase to £100. Sent to my wife without any further explanation whatsoever.

    I have found it impossible to actually speak with anyone from the D V L A.  Although the D V L A letter has a ref number, the enforcement centre do not give an e mail contact. Up to now we have sent the documentation by registered/recorded delivery so as to be signed for.

    Has anyone had a similar experience, or could anyone please advise me as to what to do next.

    Thank you, Russell
