The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

So having jacked up all for corners of the car in turn, it’s the front left and back right wheels which are the problem. Not a lot in it: front left barely turns, back right doesn’t budge.

I’ll take each of the wheels off, give everything a good clean and see if soaking all and any moving parts in ...

Thanks for your replies all.

Since posting I have wondered if this thread would sit better in the 'Buying Advice & Tips For New Owners' section as there will likely be more questions than restoration initially, but I'll let the moderators decide...


The very first thing you must do, is a ...

Welcome back!

Thanks very much. I've just started a new thread on LFP 48P


Hi

I live in Silsoe Bedfordshire, I have 3 Dolomites at present including an 1850, more than happy to come over and give advice etc.

Thanks Malcom - I'd love to take you up on this! I think I've sent you a ...

My project: LFP 48P

The aim:

With a huge amount of naivety, and hopefully lots of help from fellow TDC members and enthusiasts, I'm hoping to get my 1975 1850 back on the road. The aim is to have it running and road worthy before I turn 40: 20th December 2027.

I don't own many tools, but a ...

Are you the 'Phil' that used to attend shows with Colin?


The very same one. I do believe Colin and I (or maybe Ken and I?) came to your home on occasion. I forget exactly why now, perhaps for a part for Colin's car?

I attended a show at the NEC where I helped to install an overdrive gearbox ...

Car now on my driveway, and I (re)joined the club today.

I'll start a 'restoration' thread shortly, which will largely comprise of me asking how to do the most simple of tasks.

Thanks for your replies. I have since also joined the Official Triumph Dolomite Club Facebook page . I'll probably post similar messages here and there in the hope of casting the net far and wide for advice and tips.

I know very little about cars, but my Dolomite was dumping coolant after fairly standard drives back in 2007. I didn't think much of it, thinking I'd get around to getting it looked at and would just keep topping it up as required.

A few trips later I then set of to drive from Nottingham to ...

Noted, thank you.

I did do a quick search for the answer to this before posting, but is there a formal link between the club and the ‘Triumph Dolomite Club’ Facebook page?

I’m heading there next to ask if there are any owners close to me, too.

Hello all,

Some 16 years(!) since my first post, I’ve rejoined the forum and would be interested to know if there are many members in and/or around Bedfordshire and/or Hertfordshire?

I now live in Biggleswade and am shortly off to see my 1850 Dolomite, which has been stored in various places for ...
