Jon has been busy in our workshop! In this update, he has began repairs on the 1977 Triumph 2500TC which is in with our team at our Suffolk HQ to be recommissioned. First off, was a couple of simple jobs such as fixing a brake/stop light and replacing the windscreen wipers before Jon could move onto the more serious jobs.

To begin with, Jon started to look into the cooling system on the car. Looking into the system, he found that it had quite a lot of debris and corrosion in areas so he carefully removed all of the hoses to inspected them for damage or wear, before carefully blowing them out and cleaning them on the bench before taking the classic Triumph outside to run water through the system and flush anything left over out of the engine.

Once flushed, Jon could remove the thermostat and check it over before cleaning it out thoroughly and refitting it along with the newly cleaned hoses and getting the car back on a ramp.
