Hello fellow Triumph Owners,
I hope you’re all enjoying the recent site update. It’s been 18 very long months in the making.
I’ve created a tribe on the new Drive Tribe site by the former Top Gear hosts. Please feel free to join the tribe and share your triumph images there too. I’ll be selecting some of your car photos every week to share on…[Read more]

Hi Glen, Just joined the website yesterday. I see you are in Hobart.
I have a black Stag that I have owned since 2001 but has been off the road since 2009.
This is because i have been working overseas in Thailand. I will probably be here for another couple of years before I return to Hobart to give the Stag some TLC but will need some $…[Read more]

britishcarfreak replied to the topic Poor cold starts / rough cold idle / loss of power when cold in the forum Stag 7 years, 7 months ago
I’ve recently made huge progress with this. All of the above tweaks helped a huge amount. But the final tweak was to fiddle very precisely with the right hand choke cable (the one that just drops the jet rather than moving the carb throttle. I had to experiment over a few very cold morning starts. Get it to fire, jump out and adjust that rig…[Read more]

Hi there,
I’ve suffered poor cold starts for years. I had stripped and rebuilt the carbs twice. Solved dashpot leaks. Recalibrated temperature strips (bi-metal things) on the stove top. Argh.
Here’s what happens:
Car is hard to start when ambient temp is below 15degC even if choke all the way out.
When it does start it isn’t on all cyl…[Read more]

I have heard of people using Pickards but I’ve no idea if they’re any good. I’d probably ring the guys out at standard/vanguard (whatever their name is) near healesville/lillydale and see who they recommend. They may even have the parts you want.

britishcarfreak replied to the topic Bad Vibrations in the forum Stag 7 years, 9 months ago
Are you sure it’s not the viscous coupling (presuming you still have the mechanical fan in place) the bearing in these goes and makes horrible noises. It failed on mine and I’ve been fully electric ever since.
I assume you’d do damage to the crank/bearings at some point. Hard to say without knowing how bad the vibration is.
How do you know th…[Read more]

Also, would like to know of any reputable Stag mechanics in Melbourne. Can’t seem to find anyone who can look after my car mechanically. Very frustrating!!!!

The harmonic balancer has been tampered with and set up a very bad vibration around 1500 rpm.
Can I still drive the car in this condition and if so will there be more damage and how much?
Thanks

Hi just joined this website and I am quite surprised at how few stags are on it. Great cars to own and drive and it seems at last a good investment . Not that I see it as that . Hope to talk to some of you soon .
