    Yorkshire element? Depends where you are but guys from Doncaster and Leeds/Bradford areas come to the thriving Pendle and Pennine Area which is just over the border in Lancashire. You would be very welcome

Read that and went out last night under the car port and found the king lead arcing to the battery retaining clamp :) Mind you, I also saw the plugs lighting up as they fired too - the ceramic bit was lighting up. Not sure whether that is normal though :-/ Good luck Theo - I know you will sort it out.

    I ran Tebay and we stayed open longer than we "should have done". Well, I say we stayed open - actually it was good to see the chaps working on the Renown and see all the crews finally leave. No decision made, it just happened.   I applaud your willingness to put forward your point of view - I can't comment about the driver's briefing though as I wasn't there.

    Love the Capri and love Scotland. I will be gutted if the vote means the UK is torn apart.  :o

    Ferny - for me a great thing about the 10CR is not knowing the route in any detail beforehand. I would prefer "this is the start, these are the overnights and this is the finish". Maybe even no route just guidance to some great roads to be found in the countries you may visit. But then I am probably in a minority ;)

    Looking forward to Tebay  :)

    Removed the washer from the master cylinder and the one from the slave cylinder, bled the clutch and now I have one :) Hopefully I have cured the clutch issue
  9. Raider
    Thanks very much. There was a washer supplied in the kit from Rimmer Bros so I thought it should be there! I think I'll be removing it ;)

    Well today I fitted a brand new slave cylinder but it hasn't helped. As I decided to finish for the day I spotted that as I put my foot on the clutch there was a spray of clutch fluid from the braided hose where it fits to the master cylinder - fluid can be seen where the brass washer is. Now, should there be a washer there at all I wonder? Looking at old photos of the under bonnet area it doesn't look like there was one ther before with the old hose.

    That's great news and it would be very helpful if Club members could support Jenny and the Old Stone Trough. As Mike says, let her know you are a Club Triumph member and she will make you very welcome - just don't mention the MG club ;D

    Always had the mechanical original pumps on my Triumphs.  Never had a problem tho I will probably wish I hadn't sais that now ;D

    I remember that. It was near Montigny and next time I saw him was at Lake Maggiore

    Well you won't be able to get us to join the Euro  :P

    I suspect some people will be having another go next year :) I have a new pair of speedos all ready 8)

    I have a new braided hose in place of the original plastic pipe so I don't think that's the problem. It could well be the seals in the slave  cylinder as the car was off the road for more than 2 years. I should really get under the car and see if I can track down where the leak is.

    I parked up the 2000 and walked away basically. Then yesterday I noticed a stain on the drive from the area of the slave cylinder. I checked the clutch master cylinder and there's no fluid in it. I am not quite sure what's going on here but one thing for sure is this isn't helping!
  19. Raider
    Colin, I got Deana to press the clutch and the front pulley never moved one bit so I don't think there's a problem with the thrust washers. Alec - take a look at the photo. Seems to me this is less than 90 degrees and so you are probably right.
  20. Raider
    Well putting fluid in and bleeding the system has not helped. Actually gear selection is getting worse.  More investigation needed another day! I have a horrible feeling you are right Alec Still, the engine sounds lovely :)
  21. Raider
    Only just checked and the fluid level is low so I may be lucky. Now to find a garage that actually sells stuff for cars on a bank holiday

    AndyF wrote:Martin, It sound like the taper pin to me especially as you say it went all of a sudden and no loss of hydraulic oil. AndyF Taper pin? Been looking at the parts catalogue and there's a clevis pin external to the gearbox from the pushrod  to the clutch actuating arm. Do you mean this? If so that's not so bad.
  23. Raider
    Bloody well hope the thrust washers are not in the sump as I have just finished rebuilding the engine! !

    Isn't that usually on a CT event though? It is quite a while yo wait until nect years 10cr although the Dutch CT event in the Autumn could be an option ;D
  25. Raider
    If you are right that means dropping the gearbox which is nit a favourite past time on axle stands on my drive :-/ Still better than a problem out on the road tho
