Can someone recommend a garage or individual near me that can do work on the V8 engine. Nothing too complicated. Just to diagnose and fix a few niggly problems? Thanks

Have you changed the AC fuel filter recently? My 75 V8 auto did the same thing the other day - cut out for a few seconds then sprang back into life as I was doing about 50mph. Thinking there might be crud in the fuel tank, changed the filter and so far so good.

I've got this really orrible plastic stick on plate at the back with a naff logo on it which has been fixed on crookedly to my '75 V8. I would really like a nice tailor fitting one to replace it. Does anyone know of a company/person that will make a rear number plate to fit the P6 surround...

My 1975 V8 has got a "period" looking Radiomobile AM radio in it. I don't know if its the original but it looks fairly seventies!

Sounds good Ralph. Are you looking to part with them ? Whereabouts are you?

Thanks, I drove 100 miles to get my new ebay purchase today and got back without a hitch. Its a 1975 Scarab blue 3500 auto and is quite good but the interior trim is shot. Its the cream cloth boxpleat and it looks like someone has let a rottweiler loose in the back! Even the door cards are...

I've just bought a 1975 S2 V8 and I pick it up tomorrow (sight unseen on ebay, gulp!) The interior is Sandelwood cloth which is in a poor state. I'd like to replace with leather seats. Is it a simple swap for any other style from any age of car ?

A local scrappy has got a 1976 3500S going for a probably very modest sum. Its a P reg in Almond with a ebony roof and cloth seats. The car was left there back in March and was originally for sale on a daft closed bid system. I offered him £350 at the time and nothing happened. I went back...

The rev counter on my '68 2000TC is registering about 1500rpm higher than it should. Can anyone advise where to start looking for the fault ? Is there a common problem with these units?

Like the website...excellent idea. This type of "webring" is desperately needed for the P6. I own an MGB and www.mgcars.org has all the information, links and adverts one could ever need on the marque. I assume those nice cars for sale on your site are meant as examples and aren't really for...

By the way. I was a member back in 1996/97 and owned a 1974 Mexico Brown 3500S registration TBL 583M. Is she known to anyone these days?

Hi, I am on the hunt for a P6. I would prefer a V8 and something tax exempt with leather interior but I will consider any other version. As long as its got an MOT and is a runner. Don't mind if it needs a bit of welding or bodywork here or there but I'm fed up with driving miles to find...
