What have you done recently or are planning to do soon to your Triumph?

The green ones are hopeless. Mintex will be a significant improvement. -
What fuel is best to run my triumph herald 1.2 1970 on
RobPearce replied to classic1975chris's topic in Triumph Chat
Ordinary E10 unleaded will probably be OK if you have Gates hoses. -
Engine oil change periods, for gentle driving and low annual mileage?
RobPearce replied to daver clasper's topic in Engine
As glang said, oil does suffer chemical degradation from being exposed to air and other conditions in the engine. It's quite slow on modern oil, so you don't need to change it more than annually. -
My experience of electric oil pressure gauges has not been good, so all of mine have the ones with the pipe (or hose) up to the dash. I've never had a problem with any of them. Just route the pipe carefully and make sure there's a grommet where it passes through the bulkhead.

Yesterday I put Toby's gearbox cover back on and went for a test drive. Putting some oil in the gearbox has, indeed, fixed the overdrive. However, there is a distinct misfire once warmed up. It feels decidedly electrical rather than fuel. I wonder whether the cheap EI unit in the distributor I fitted just before the last RBRR is now failing.
