To replace the battery in your Triumph wristwatch, you may need to use a specialized tool to release the steel hold-down. Here are the steps you can follow:

Remove the back of the watch using the tool you have.

Locate the battery and the steel hold-down. The hold-down is usually a metal plate that covers the battery and keeps it in place.

Use a flat screwdriver or a specialized battery removal tool to gently pry the hold-down up and release it from the battery. Some hold-downs are held in place with screws, so you may need to remove screws first.

Once the hold-down is removed, gently lift the battery out of its compartment.

Replace the old battery with a new one of the same size and type.

Replace the hold-down over the new battery and press it into place.

Replace the back of the watch, making sure to tighten the screws securely.

Note: If you're not comfortable with replacing the battery yourself, it is best to take your watch to a professional watch repair service for assistance. Replacing the battery improperly can cause damage to the watch.

Heres a digram for a speed 4 triumph i hope it helps and hopefully its what youre looking for

The title is a bit confusing, (2007 Tr7?) if we are talking an earlyer Tr7 then there is a bonnet pull by the drivers knee, I have only seen 12v Tr7 models.

fuel blockage, no spark ,ignition coil,no fuel

You mentioned original engine. There are thrust bearing on the crank main bearings. If these wear out then the clutch has problems. There is a spec as to allowable forward backward movement of the crank. Press the crank pulley to the rear then press the clutch. The movement should be in thousandths.

To be sure, have someone press the clutch pedal while you look. It' s the one to the drivers side of the car in USA.

I believe that these are heat ranges. One for touring and one for city driving. The touring plugs run cooler. Someone could have put the hot plugs because of oil fouling. Another option ( I raced a 65, ) is to go with platinum plugs. More expensive but last forever and can run a hotter heat range so no fouling.

Are you sure it's the water pump? The most common reason for coolant in the oil is a blown head gasket. Check the coolant to see if there is oil contamination.

Utube will get u started

The three fundamentals... 1. fuel 2. spark 3. compression Low/zero compression would explain faster than normal starter spin, but questionable root problem with "just cut out". Are plugs wet with fuel? If not, verify carb bowl has fuel at proper level. If plugs are dry, pour a couple tablespoons of fuel down the carburetor and see if it fires. If it fires... its carburetor or no vacuum/compression. If it doesnt fire with raw fuel, then likely no spark, followed by low/no compression. Recheck spark with a cheap spark tester, the kind with adjustable gap, and verify check actual spark. Do a compression test.

usual engine i fitted was a ford V6 dagenham produced one .
