Right, so I am now a bit more clued up and having followed the advice, I checked through each circuit. Following the power wire from the switch, it splits into four, three go forward, fuse box, back of the dash and ignition circuit, the other goes rearward. I wired each one separately and rigged...

Another daft question - How do I remove the ignition switch? My manual is less than helpful.....

Thanks Guys, I stripped back some of the loom to check how far any damage went, there is obvious damage as far as where the loom runs up into the bulkhead, although at this point in the loom it seems to be just the white wire that is damaged. I have had advice that the switch may be the culprit...

We have a P6 3500 v8 with a series 1 wiring. After not starting her for a couple of weeks, on starting noticed smoke coming from under dash. Switched it off and looked the white wire from the ignition has melted through the plastic which has effected the other cables also. Does anyone have a...

A bit of gardening work has seen some paving slabs laid on what was the front garden so Josephine has a new parking spot. The reason is that my V8 is back home following a few months at John's college, lots of service work carried out, new discs and rebuilt calipers on the rear and new UJ's...

What are the symptoms if this happens?

I watched a large box van drift at least a foot into the hard shoulder on the M40 this week. As I passed I glanced left to see the driver apparently texting. I ride a motorcycle most of the time so tend to be at a level to notice people using phones on the motorway. The advice at the end of...

That would be perfect,, I am in your hands Jim. What do you need from me. Mike

Thanks for the replies. The part number is 606781,so the other end to the picture. Mike

I have just had the rear calipers overhauled but was missing the end of the hinge pin on removal. I can't find anything listed and a search of the site just raises more questions. Anyone know where I could get a replacement? Cheers. Mike

so my 16 going on 17 year old so John is not quite wired up right and has decided he wants a P6 like daddies. Trouble is, mine is a V8. In fairness to John, he is currently undertaking a classic car restoration apprenticeship so newer cars just do not float his boat. He has taken the trouble to...

It looks like I have sourced one, slightly closer to home in London but thanks anyhow James. Mike

Great, thanks for that, it does look like the one on the right. Just need to get one now. Dunno how I managed to post this up twice?? Mike

I have a wobble - Not me you understand but from my 3500 P6 which shakes at about 50-55. Between me and my brother we have checked about everything, tyres, prop, UJ's on the drive shafts. All at the rear seems good. I got the car well elevated last weekend and started to move forward. Upon...
