Technical
Welcome to our 'Technical' page where we will be showing how we tackle certain TR7 problems as we reach them.
The Waringstown TR7 Mechanic
 
 

Each job will be given a spanner rating of 1 to 5. Please note that these articles are our personal notes and opinions and we will not be liable if it turns out we were barking up the wrong tree and you blew yourself up following our instructions!

It is our hope that over time, this page will become an online workshop manual written by TR7 owners, for TR7 owners. If you would like to write a technical article covering a job we haven't yet done, please email us your text and photos and we'll include them on this page.

(When printing these articles, change your paper orientation to landscape to avoid clipping)
