Well, I'm slowly working my way around my P6, going from mostly solid but somewhat neglected to 'nice user' in the process. Currently busy sorting out the interior - mostly dried out leather and dirt, plus it'll want new carpets at one point - and when that's done, the last big remaining job is...

After noticing lots of condensation in both rear lights and the front sidelights I've given in an bought a good set of front sidelight lenses and rear light lenses, plus all new foam gaskets - both the glass against light cluster and cluster against bodywork. Fitting the former is easy -...

It appears that I finally figured out what the problem with my P6 cutting actually is - as mentioned here before my initial thoughts were the autobox being on the way out. As I had to get some other work done anyway I asked Ely Services to have a look at the gearbox. They didn't really find...

Good morning, I was looking at improving the original Lucas distributor on my car somewhat by fitting electronic ignition - the plan is to fit one that's completely hidden by the dizzy cap. Which AFAIK means it's got to be either the Lumenition Magnetronic or the Aldon Igniter module...

Hrmpf. I had to take the P6 out last week in the atrocious weather as the non-classic car was away being fixed. Drove about 100 miles - the car was generally running right, although a bit hot. Since it's had a new radiator it seems to be leaking a bit of coolant. Oops, nevermind - topped up...

In order to make progress with the interior damage caused by duff window seals (not to mention a few small holes in the floor), I need a few good secondhand interior parts. Most urgently, I'm after a complete set of unwarped door cards in good condition; some of the interior chrome also needs...

Further to my last post about the browncaps in the footwell :( I investigated a little bit more. The passenger side carpet was a little bit damp, the underlay a little more so. Furious carpet-lifting showed exactly what I dreaded - a small patch of daylight near the floor/inner sill area...

After going quiet for some time (I was working on the car a bit, honest), I just wanted to quiz the collective wisdom before I bring the car to a specialist[1]. Ever since I got the car it's been listing to the right - the rear right wheelarch is noticeably closer to the tarmac compared to...

I finally took the plunge and bought a P6 3500 recently, a car that I've admired for some time but somehow always avoided buying. Anyway, I've got one now and apart from the creeping feeling that it isn't quite as good as I thought it was (sounds familiar?) I find that I quite like it. One of...
