Hi all I half filled my 2500 saloon with standard Texaco unleaded, as that was all that was available. Car misfired terrible, really thought something was wrong. I do normally use super unleaded I then filled up when I had the chance with BP ultimate 97, misfire disappeared almost immediately!! Car ran far better. A bit stressful, as on a week's holiday away from home!! Anyone else had this? Motto of this story, avoid Texaco unleaded!!!

Going on holiday in our 2500 saloon. 108 miles from home to Forest of Dean, plus travelling in the week. Should cover around 400 to 500 miles in the week.

I have a Chris Witor system, excellent fit. Probably worth waiting for.

I would rebuild the M/C especially as it looks a bit dodgy. A simple inexpensive job

Superb tool, far better than the Gunson effort!

Hi Paul I have got a Synchrometer excellent piece of kit. I have balanced my carbs perfectly with this. Well made and simple to use https://www.amazon.co.uk/STE-Synchrometer-Weber-Dellorto-SYN001/dp/B00DHGX2D6/ref=pd_vtp_1?pd_rd_w=wU3zj&pf_rd_p=75613b4d-6e08-4583-9b7e-f6e766dc0b40&pf_rd_r=N34B559HGK28SJ2N4JZB&pd_rd_r=5f5637ed-dab9-4f4c-a011-6e745c3a6d9b&pd_rd_wg=O1qQa&pd_rd_i=B00DHGX2D6&psc=1 Hope this helps All the best

Hi All Can anyone recommend a good reliable electronic system that works well and lasts. The last one I fitted was a Pertronics which left me stranded waiting for the AA man. It was less than 2 years old. Tried two Accusparks which caused a misfire. Currently running with points and condensor, which seem ok. Should I stick with this? Its for a 2500 saloon with twin SU HS6s and Lucas 45D dissy Any recommendations or experiences? many thanks

Just a word of advice, make sure all clutch operating parts are perfect else the clutch won't work. I had my gearbox out 3 times until I realised some parts were worn!! Good luck!! -
I consistently get up to 45MPG on a run with my spitfire 1500 overdrive.

Stan Walters, SW classics, Brook house Dartington Totnes I believe Stan now lives in France, great chap! I used to spend a lot of Saturday mornings there! He was also into model railways and collecting war memorabilia from battlefields in France

Hi all My drivers door has dropped, needs a lift as I close it. I removed the door and top and bottom hinges are both knackered. I fiited a new pin but the hing is worn. The part that is bolted to the door is worn. Any suggestions? Oversized pin or good replacement hinge (if i can get one)? Anyone else had same problem?

Just about to start some body repairs on my 2500 saloon. What gauge steel should I be using? many thanks

Excellent unit, I had one fitted to my herald estate for at least 15 years. It never missed a beat, herald now sold. I have had other units fitted to my other triumphs, all failed. Now given up on electronic ignitions and gone back to points and condensor.

Hi Pete Thats a good idea! May try that if I can't get originals. Thanks

Thanks for all the info, it's mainly gear oil leaking. A bit of engine oil too, but not too bad. -
