Hi, Exhaust and filters sound good. Fan too as they're all simple stuff. With regards the gearbox, I'm guessing it needs to be the LT77 from the SD1 for the ratios. My assumption is anything from a land rover or sherpa van would not work well in a car?

Hi, I'm thinking about making my 3500s more fuel efficient so as to employ it as a daily driver. Swapping the gearbox for a five speed from an SD1 seems reasonabley straight forward, but what about efi? From what I understand I'll need the injection manifold from something like a late 80's...

thanks, i restored her a couple of years ago and always intended to keep her for a very, very long time. Sadly my health has now got in the way and I am forced into letting her go. Hopefully she'll go to a good home and be looked after.

Could you expand a little, I'm what you'd call a rookie

I've left the third in place while I make a new plan, but they seem to be pretty flush with the surface.

Hi Just tried to remove the otter switch on the inlet manifold and managed to snap two bolt heads off! Any ideas for getting the rest of the bolts out? :D

Hello chaps, Bit random I know, but now my p6 is finished (well as finished as these things ever are!) I'm after a new project. Ideally I'm after a spitfire but whatever it is it needs to be tax exempt. Not got much in the way of funds so a non runner needing work is more than fine. I live...

fellas, i need to keep it simple, elastictrickery just aint my bag. I follow the four switch thing, seems simple enough. wouldnt be shy at having a bash at the relay buisiness either. I guess to do that I'd have to take the lid off the 8 track?

i take it by switch you mean a on/off/on toggle switch for each side?

This one has speaker wires. one for each side. where could i get a mixer thing from then?

Hi, Turns out the both the radio and the old power supply had died, so I isolated the old supply, ran a new one and plumbed in a spare radio. And all was well. Until I decided to look at my 8 track player, which leads me nicely onto my next question; there is no aux port on the radio so I...

I know the radios earth is good, I put a new one in when I fitted the radio about six months ago. I haven't used it much since due to poor reception hence the booster, but when I tested it prior to fitting the booster it was dead. I've tested the live feed and it's dead, so I need to know...

Hi Guys! I need help. I've just bought a in line signal booster for my radio. Great I thought, I'll finally get some tunes in the car. Not so. Got in to plumb the thing in and the radio wouldn't come on. I've done a bit of poking about and there is no power getting to it. I've traced the...

Hi Guys, After reading through all your suggestions (many thanks - its good to get some ideas) I think I'm gonna go as below: Front bearings to be checked and adjusted - needs doing anyway Check the diff and gearbox oil levels - just been changed but checking never hurts penetrating oil on...

Hi, My brother had to do a double take today. He was in aston and thought me saw my P6! It was only on closer inspection he saw it was a series one. Apart from that it was almost identical to mine - dark blue wearing minilites! Anyone know it/ own it?

Hello chaps, Got the old girl up in the air today, checked all four wheels and they all have about the same play in them - bout 10mm. I'm guessing that since they are all about the same then either all need new bearings all they're all reasonably ok, which leads me to wondering what could be...

Yeah thanksfor the pictures, equally thanks for the advice. Hopefully shell be in the air later today

Sadly not but thanks for the offer

Hi She's done just over 91k. I'm getting a low vibrating noise from about 40 - 45mph and there appears to be play on that wheel. I've not had her up in the air yet, hoping to do so this weekend.

Okay, so what's involved in relaxing the rear ones?

Hi, I'm after some simplle advice (I hope!). The off side rear wheel bearing on my P6 is worn and loose. Is it possible to tighten these up or is the only option to replace? While I think, I could do with knowing the same about the front! Apologies if this is a daft question, but I've...

Hi, The interior push buttons on my doors are causing me grief. At some point during the restoration the little clips that hold the connecting rods from the buttons to the lock in place have gone missing. Without these the connecting rods don't stay er.. connected. Has anyone got any...

Hi, Project Christine is now into the stages of fixing the annoying rather than the desparate. Next on the list is a very annoying noisy tappet which is ruining my enjoyment of the V8 song. Can anyone advise me as to how to shut this rattly tappet up? Theres only one and its on number one...
