Automotive Info and Maintenance Sites

One of the best Triumph technical pages I've seen to date is the TR6 Reference page (MS Word format) on the Cape Cod British Car Club Technical page, compiled by Jay Welch of Abingdon, MA. While it's primarily written for TR6s, this page contains a lot of valuable information and links that I've not seen anywhere else.
Visit the Buckeye Triumphs Triumph technical page. While it has been scaled down recently, there are still a number of useful articles there.
The Cool Cat Corp. site is primarily for Jaguar E-Types, but it has a very good section on theory, diagnosis and repair of early (11AC) Lucas Alternators
Visit the Autoshop for a wide variety of information on how your car works, usually in terms for the layman. They can also help diagnose your problems (for a fee) if you can't figure them out yourself. This site also has a lot of maintenance tips to help keep all of your cars in tip-top shape.
Check out the Autosite. In addition to their fee-based service for determining new vehicle prices, options, etc., they have a free section with an extensive garage menu of maintenance and troubleshooting tips, along with an encyclopedia section on how to do a lot of the work on your car (beyond the basics)...
Having problems with fuel injection? Here's a link to a page on EFI problem diagnosis which may be useful. The TR8 uses a variant of the Bosch L-Jetronic system. A second site has a diagnosis section with a manual (in scanned .gif form) for the L-Jetronic with Lambda system.
