Thank you for all your responses. Sorry to have not replied sooner, have been having problems with BT. I thought that would be the general train of thought on this thread, i can weld so thats not a huge problem, and i was considering making patches until i realised that i would need nearly the...

Hiya folks, I need to get a price for a few sill panels for my P6. Yeah she runs, but i reckon a speed bump and she'd break :roll: I enquired on the JRW site but he hasn't got back to me so thought i'd ask where others have bought them from? I'm looking for numbers 9, 10, & 12 in this...

No, pump seems to be pumping quite well. Just what was coming out was quite manky. Give a good 'glug' every couple of revololutions. Now just got to track down a good used clutch master cylinder. Seems to be the problem that is stopping her moving at the moment :roll: Roll up roll up, the...

Yep it eventually came down to manky fuel, and different brands of cap & Rotor not touching in the middle. Gave the carbs a good clean up, ran her for a little from a jerry can, pumped plenty of 'yellow' petrol out of the lines, and shes running lovely. Now just gotta give it a good service...

Aah, dont say that :shock: Little update. She now runs, fter much tinkering and cleaning of carbs, fuel lines, ignition system etc. Oh and a rotor arm and dizzy cap that actually touch in the middle. That'll teach me to mix manufacturers :roll: Anyway, loosened the nuts holding the master...

Usefull but disapointing, i was kinda hopeing i could just get it onto tarmac, warm her up then start in 1st and break the clutch break free. Thinking maybe the pedal would pop up and all would be hunky dory. (Obviously i knew it would never be that easy but hey you never know) Right i shall go...

Hi folks, i have a problem with the clutch on my soon to be started 3500S project. Now i know you probably hate posts like this but i promise it will be my last. The clutch pedal is stuck down (can be pulled up a bit but then no proper weight behind it and wont return when pressed) The...

All good stuff. I'll fit my new (pattern :oops: ) dizzy cap. And my rotor arm when i get it. Make sure she runs alright, then pull the dizzy and compare to this spare see how it goes from there. Cheersfor the info, Chris

Just a quickie. I've seen a little about upgrading to electronic ignition. Is this a good idea before i buy my new dizzy cap and rotor arm? Is it just a case of swapping the whole distributer with one from a more modern (EFI) engine? Cause as it happens i have a little bit of a range rover...

Aha, i don't have the facilities nor the money for a full respray. Could be tempted buy a couple of tine though if this is Cameron green???? Cheers

Yeah, i'm always careful with petrol in spray bottles. I watched a con rod shatter the side of a two stroke, two pot engines crankcase once after the owner decided to fill the bores up with fuel before cranking it over. I guess it was still in there burning when the piston came back up. Pilkie...

Ah, i've not seen any P6's on the road around here, I'll have to pop over and compare notes one day when mine's on the road. I'll photo under the rubber side bits next time i'm with it. I did have a look under them though and it just looked like a lot of glue/seam sealer. Grey box with the...

Hiya, finally got over to take some pics of the P6. And finally cajoled my PC into uploading them. I dont think she looks too bad in general, the interior is neat and tidy. The sunroof moves smoothly. There are bubbles in the paint around the bottom of the doors and whatnot but only a...

Starting a new thread for a couple of piccies. :D

Wow, i'm not used to responses this quick on a forum. This is my engine bay. Which is a pair of SU's? all integral? The car is a N plate 1974. 3500S The little bit of fuel i got out of the lines, when i was first checking flow was not very unleaded coloured. Very old and stale i reckon...
