Hi all, I read it's been spotted in the eBay section, it ends tonight.

It's mine! I've had so much interest it's unbelievable! It ends tonight.

Hi All, I've really got to sell the P6 now, loss of garage and house move next year. My number if your interested: 07977415356 Nice car etc, open to offers on her. Remember shes the oldest known surviving P6B around. Thanks

My P6 is for sale: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260655831206&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT I am open to sensible offers on her. Space is needed in my garage hence why I'm selling her. :shock:

Yes correct a P6B, The chap at Wadhams said there are two types of girling brakes!...Thats the confusing bit???? I did check them over when I had the diff removed, all I did was check everything was free, free off the small piston inside the nearside rear piston check for leaks and reassembled...

As my car is at the garage I can not get a picture of the calipers to check wether they are the earlier type or later type calipers.....Can anyone post a pic of both types? Google cant find many pics of the rear bakes :lol:

Its got all new flexi brake hoses at front and rear, brakes are bled but theres no reading from the nearside rear brake. The handbrake doesnt seem to sit right back on the caliper end of things? Also Wadhams said there is 2 different types of rear calipers, (Incase I have to buy new ones) Its...

Thanks, I'll try them. Must be someone on here who knows these brakes well??? :D Cheers..John

Hi is there anyone here who is really knowledgeble about setting up the rear brakes that I could phone and speak to them? Put the P6 in for MOT yesterday and theres a strange issue with the nearside rear brake! Its better if I can explain to an "expert" :D Oh & preferably somebody in england...

Re the pic below: Is the green box/arrow the outer cable adjuster nuts you refer to? Are the quadrents you refer to next to the red arrow/box? Just wanted to check as the haynes is't that clear.

No rotor arm fitted whilst dizzy cap removed to check for a spark. Tried the old condenser after and it still sparks the same across the points but engine wont start, I'll try that vacum advance locking pin again, I think it located ok though.

Ive fitted new pads and set the pistons so that the pads are touching the discs and its still free to move (not too tight) I'll wind that adjuster forward and try again, if not I'll take some pics and post them up on here. Thank you very much for your time...John

He said aslong as theres reserve travel its fine but she goes tight on 7 clicks out of 8!!! I'm unsure of the correct setting up procedure?

Is that the adjuster "thingymajig" between the handbrake lever and the rear brakes? If so its wound right to the edge of the threaded bit, should it be wound in so as its as far from the end as possible? Thank you

Hi does anyone know where I can get a device that takes out any excess slack on a handbrake cable for the MOT please? My local motor factors dont do them. Cheers

Hi, Last week I changed all the plugs, leads, distributor cap & rotor arm and she ran ok (same as before) Then the other day I changed the condenser and the points and now she wont start!, It went back exactly as the old one was ie with the insulating washer etc so I cat see whats wrong? I...

Thats the one! It was worth a try on here anyway, I will match up some hose then. Many thanks..John

Hi All, I am in desperate need of an: automatic box oil cooler pipe where it goes into the radiator, The bottom one of the two! Please pm me if you have one. Many thanks...John

I had one of the thermostat housing bolts shear on me last night, anyway upon re assembly will i need a new gasket for the intake holes (the big one that sits under the intake manifold)? Or will a bit of blur hylomar do the job? I'm going to blast it and repaint before fitting aswell. John

Thanks for the replys, are there any more insurers to recommend out there? cheers

Hi, Ive had a quote on insuring my P6, I'm 24 with a clean licence & no convictions How does £140 PA fully comprehensive sound? (Limited to 1500 miles PA which is adiquate for me) Can anyone recommend another insurer to try aswell please? Thanks for now......John :D

Hi, I will do this tomorrow hopefully, basically I need the same amount of clearence as on the front discs? ...So the disc almost touches he pads (like when the brake pedal is released after braking) Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I have the diff removed to do this job and a small bit of welding on the bump stop mounts at the same time Cheers..John

Hi All I am on the rear calipers now and the pistons are wound in, so when I put the existing pads in will I have to wind the pistons out to compensate for the wear on the pads? Am I right in saying this is what the piston setting tool is for? I dont have the tool and the diff is on the...

That is one amazing condition P6! Thanks for sharing with us.
