My Triumph collection: June 2014
http://triumphtoledo.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
This is the trials and tribulations of my Triumph collection. Saturday, June 07, 2014. I finally took the car in for an MoT. Unsurprisingly, it failed. The handbrake efficiency was below the requirements and there were a few areas of corrosion so not bad for a 42 year old car. I've cleaned, adjusted and greased the rear brake shoes and the handbrake is better. The garage is going to do the welding so that will take care of everything and it will have a fresh MoT (and an empty bank account).

My Triumph collection: September 2013
http://triumphtoledo.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
This is the trials and tribulations of my Triumph collection. Sunday, September 29, 2013. It has been a while. Since I last posted on this Blog. Besides the bodywork, there's the hazard switch to wire up (I'm changing from the later type push-pull to the early type rocker switch), an oil and filter change, 2 front tyres to replace, the front wheel tracking to be adjusted and I need to fit relays the the headlight circuit in readiness for halogens and to avoid the indicator stalk burning out.

Martin Randle's Car Collection sagas: What joy!
http://raidertr7.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-joy.html
Martin Randle's Car Collection sagas. 1969 Triumph 2000 Mk2 saloon/ 1977 Triumph TR7 16V rally car/ 1982 Triumph TR7 DHC/ 1992 Mini Mayfair (Mrs R's)/ 1992 Rover 214i. Monday, June 08, 2015. So with a day off work and a load of parts from Chris Witor today was a good day to crack on with PMW. Unbolting the rear trailing arm suspension bushes went better than feared so it was straight on to the usual method of setting fire to the old bushes to help remove them. It looks like I'll be doing a complete rebui...

I now hate wheel cylinder circlips. What a pain and I realise many people have the knack of fitting them but I certainly don't, they are the creation of the devil as far as I am concerned. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Followed by a search on ebay and I found a company called Mini Mine who sell this tool. Simple tem...

Martin Randle's Car Collection sagas: October 2014

Martin Randle's Car Collection sagas. 1969 Triumph 2000 Mk2 saloon/ 1977 Triumph TR7 16V rally car/ 1982 Triumph TR7 DHC/ 1992 Mini Mayfair (Mrs R's)/ 1992 Rover 214i. Saturday, October 25, 2014. Follow up bits and pieces. After last week's efforts I ordered up some bits and pieces from Chris Witor. Carb float chamber gasket, manifold bridging piece and second hand clock. Then the front carb float chamber gasket had split so the 45p replacement fixed that! If nothing goes wrong (! So the guys came over a...

My Triumph collection: January 2015
http://triumphtoledo.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
This is the trials and tribulations of my Triumph collection. Saturday, January 17, 2015. A couple of worrying problems. I went round to the garage to arrange getting the subframe mount fixed. I've agreed that the only way to do the job properly is to remove the engine/autobox assembly and then the subframe can be removed completely for unrestricted access. This is the inner wing.

My Triumph collection: Subframe bushes.
http://triumphtoledo.blogspot.com/2014/12/subframe-bushes.html
This is the trials and tribulations of my Triumph collection. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. The subframe bushes arrived the day after I'd placed the order. It wasn't cheap at just a shade over £85 but they should outlast the car and won't need changing for a long time. I'm still awaiting the inner wing. Once that arrives, I can get the car in for it to be welded into place. I've got a few jobs to do once that job is out of the way. In no particular order:. Fit solid carb mounts. Get the car resprayed.
