That's not a Stag. Looks like a 2000 MkII or 2500. I had both, but not in estate form. (loved my 2500TC)Quote:

Dad had a loan of a triumph 2500. Polis used them.
It wasn't as good as the rover tho
had a pal with a Toledo, his first car, bought it off some old geezer, low mileage and mint since it was always garaged and looked after.Quote:

I had the Rover P6 V8 too, it may have been slightly quicker but drove like a bus compared to the Triumph.Quote:

Just arrived. New vacuum brake bleeding set! Not tried one before, but If it's good enough for Edd China it's probably OK :).

The car went through the MOT with spongy brakes and four workshops have looked at it and not sorted things. I'm pretty sure there's a bit of air in the ABS pump, so that will require a bit of 'creative' bleeding, we'll see.
