Thanks.

Thanks. Indeed it is, I will need to take more time looking at the wiring diagram.

From the wiring diagram for 3500S Chassis suffix A, it doesn't show a ballast resistor going to the coil. There is a ballast resistor (31) going to the taco. Dose this indicated that the correct coil should be an un-ballasted 12v one ?. At the moment I have a ballasted coil which has been there...

Thanks Peter. It is a 11AC alternator.May have 4TR somewhere.

Car is a P6 1971 3500 auto. Recently when starting and occasionally when driving the ammeter goes to full + deflection for a few seconds and then returns to normal charging. This has also happened sometimes when driving at normal steady speed with revs at around 1500-2000. There has also been...

Looking for references for overhaul of P6 3500S Engine and Gearbox. Preferably in Scotland but would transport within UK. Engine and gearbox removed from car.

Paprika series 2 heading north this afternoon and a White 2000TC series 1 also heading north about 2 miles further on. Unfortunately no pictures. West of Scotland members ?

Thanks Harvey- will have a look.

Whereabout on the gearbox is this number located ? Have engine number A 48102143 from boss on back of engine but cannot see anything stamped on gearbox.

I think it was the MV Loch Linnhe that was being used the day I was there which is a RORO. Probably CALMAC have updated ferry due to increase in popularity. Passed a P6 in EK a couple of days ago. Didn't get details but looked smart. Lunar Grey I think.

Hi Gerald Noticed you had'Tobacco' above. Colour is Mexico brown. This was original but had it resprayed with a polyurethane acrylic enamel after my restoration in 1988.This corresponded to ROV 801 Mexico Brown.

Doubt it Tam. There are a number of things that I want to look at or do that have been on the 'to do list' for a number of years. Will probably be along to Hopeton House on the 8th.

Hi Gerald Yeh its not as easy getting down and under the car now. Lots of aches and pains that weren't there 10-15 years ago when I did rear suspension. Luckily have a cousin who has a workshop and lift so makes things easier. Should be out your way later this year as son and family emigrated...

Peninsula on the West coast of Scotland. Fairly remote with single track road up to Kilchoan where there is a ferry across to Tobermorry on the island of Mull.

Owner of 3.5S HOS 688K for 30 years. Bought in 1987 with a lot of rust in usual places and restored. Been on the road for most of the 30 years. Retired recently so now decided to remove engine and gearbox for look see. Some oil leaks to attend to and usual gearbox problems to investigate. Engine...
