Howard Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Great news from the home front - my 7 passed its MOT first time after replacing a failed indicator bulb! The car has got through every single MOT first time since I got it in 2007..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Overdrive now fully functional! :)This weekend, I will be mainly inspecting drive shafts! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Well, the Ecosse trial was a test for the cars and they went well apart from a little vibration at [s]80mph.[/s] 70mphJust need to dissassemble the back end ,check everythings OK and reasemble.Balance the prop shaft and hey prestoUnless we get the Autosolo in before we go.........then start allover again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have been informed that DollyRoo is back up and running. Goes for her MOT soon. Some test drives then we will be all set. I will be in England the Sunday before the run and for the week after. Plan on making the Goodwood Revial and a drive up to Meltham in Yorkshire.

Reg Barton Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Woo Hoo! The PI went straight through the MoT today - phew! So that leaves us free to tinker with desirable improvements, and not the ones dictated by needing to get through the MoT!! On the list is to fit the anti-roll bar kit that I bought recently off eBay (now stripped, powder coated, and ready for re-assembly with Superflex bushes and refitting), get my grotty spare set of S wheels re-polished and looking lovely and fitted with new tyres, swap out all the glass for the tinted set that I picked up from eBay (which may also point to replacing the headlining while we're about it....) - oh, and fitting the new re-calibrated metering unit which arrived today!! Then, if there's any money or time left (which is doubtful) we could start tidying up the bodywork.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 No MOT for the DHC this year, being 30 years old means she only needs an MOT every two years :)But will take her for a little (two week) test drive in the Alps in less than two weeks time 8)Might even get the accommodation in Italy sorted then ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Eh? Where's the logic? "The car's getting older so we'll test it less often?" that's odd!Sorry - jealousy talking. As you were..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don cook1 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 She refuses to start at the moment. Still have to change throttle/choke mechanism and get fuelling right, clutch hydraulics need overhaul and interior needs tidying up. Oh, and what with all the talk about trunnions breaking the other week I have purchased both sides to replace. And get an MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the first re-torque on the head tonight then ran the engine for a short while, giving it a basic tune up at the same time. The rebuilt engine sounds lovely and is totally leak free at the moment, but then it usually takes a while before the characteristic Triumph incontinence starts ;D The car actually moved under its own power for the first time in a few months too, only a few feet but nice all the same 8)Time to check the rest of the car over and get it in for an MOT.

Beans Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Just pulled the DHC from the shed for next week’s Alpine Tour.At least I now know that the wipers are still working, the soft top is still pretty much waterproofand the Yokohama tires behave much better in the wet compared to the Continentals .

don cook1 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Got her running, carb linkages seem ok after balancing, rear lights might need attention for MOT. Have a bit of a hesitant/misfire issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
