just ordered one, thanks for the Tip. Much appreciated

thanks very much, very helpful

I am just considering putting an MP3 radio in my P6 and I know it doesn't have a speaker in the centre console. The car is at home and I was just wondering is anyone knew off top of their head whether it was a single 4" , 5" or 6" round speaker that goes in there?? Thanks in advance

Totally agree about the film, really well shot and acted, despite the odd speed hump getting into view it all looked very period. The DS is used to brilliant effect yet I left wanting an Alvis TD saloon!!!

Thanks Michael, the dodgy one wasnt old and it would run perfectly 'sometimes' and then suddenly misbehave. I now have 2 spare ones in glove box, just waiting on the recon dynamo now but be mobile again by the weekend. There was a similar problem with rotor arms a while ago I think....

it was actually the condensor, swapped that and problem vanished. Not that it really help as dynamo failed on way into goodwood on second day.......

thanks Harvey, will have a look at that tomorrow, had never thought of that as a problem so better rule it out.

Thanks Phil, will have a look at that, have cleaned carb and going to see if I can replicate the fault this evening, fingers crossed I can't!! Last year he lent it to me with a similar fault and it expired in the single lane bit of the A3 at Hindhead when the LT wire in the dizzy broke, so keen...

Just collected my dads car for my annual pilgrimage to Goodwood and he advised it has developed an odd misfire. I drove 70 miles in it on A1 A14 and runs like a swiss watch but apperently when he tries to pick it up off a long coast into say a roundabout it stutters and misses before picking up...

Nick, It has the 120mph speedo as far as I recall, the interior light is in the base of the rearview mirrow and the funny little maplights under the dash....shes a real nice old girl and I am very lucky to be able to borrow her, fill her with chums and do 500 mostly motorway miles before giving...

Been there the last three years at least in it so very possibly the one you saw Nick, Thanks for the nice comments, we think she's great as all so original and ever so slightly different being an early S1

I was there again in my Dads wedgewood blue 65 car again, uneventful 500 miles apart from the low tension wire in the dizzy breaking going over the hogs back on the thursday night which was popular, fixed it with my leatherman in about 30 seconds so not too long a queue!! I saw a mustard v8 on...

thanks for the tip, if I cannot get a cap then that will be the way forward. should not have the problem with the air cleaner on a right hooker!!

My Dads early P6 (dunlop brakes) is suffering from a disintegrating reservoir cap, I know these things are not being remade does anyone have a nos one or a good used one they would sell?

thanks for the compliments guys, 96k from new and all original, drove it Nottingham to Newmarket, then to Goodwood and back in the day, then back to nottingham, all in a weekend. never a moments fuss and over 30mpg. Bet the blast did her good!! We were there Saturday so missed you guys on the...
