The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Whilst I do not wish to inevitably re-open a can of worms on whether you should or shouldn’t mot a car, I personally want peace of mind that a professional has checked my work.

Pass MOT certificate received yesterday.

The challenge of old car and new parts not quite fitting perfectly, but I ...

So end result. New UJ intermediate shaft fitted to original coupling. New coupling just would not mate. In response to the above question, part was ordered from a reputable triumph supplier but I do question the accuracy/quality of the part. 2+ hours trying to make it mate with the UJ and in the end ...

Thanks. Will try that this weekend.

Clever me, thought I’d take it for an MOT to check the brakes work I did in December and it fails the UJ. Now it’s a grey area to whether I can use it…

Hi Richard, your previous post about magazine 203 is a good place to start, will have a read. At very,east, you’ve made me sequence my Dolly mixtures to find it!

Hi All,
I’ve been having a read of this thread and wanted to add this question, wish I’d read this before purchasing the new parts. Has anyone got any hints or tips on how to get the FAM1718 UJ and the flexible couplings together. They’re so tight I can only push it in about a mm. any hints or ...

will have a look next time i'm home and run through all your suggestions guys, thanks very much!! Will let you know how i get on.

Cheers Mark, will have a look.

Nope

Hopefully I'll be able to get down for a few hours but won't have the Dolly with me (still playing games!)

Ok guys,
FInally been home to fix problem, I have now replaced fuel pump (old one sprung a leak), fuel filter, all fuel lines and all electrics. Yet it still is playing games. It starts, struggles to idle then stalls (when idling), when I drive down the road it loses power and then comes back again ...

Ok, Cheers guys. Will have a look next time i'm home and can get my head under the bonnet!!
