often its the clear plastic pipe that runs from the delay unit by the wiper motor to the back of the steering binnacle and the little white toggle . It gets a split in it and wont sustain a vacuum.
Has anyone pulled the heater box out of a P6 with factory A/c ?
There's a bit more plumbing coming out of the heaterbox.
Im interested in the process as my heater has lost its magic over the years and suspect the seal.
thats if Murphy's law came into being and all nuts dropped off at the same time.
Besides , am I the only guy that checks all nuts are in place each day before taking the car out of the garage?
I am OCD ,
If you do go down the SD1 cannister route , just be aware the larger throat will hit the top of the carburettor tower. May be a lump of rubber between the two will absorb that wear point.
I also had to redrill the two holes on the frame that fit on the pegs at the back of the motor. Otherwise...
I converted to electronic ignition years ago.
Better starting on the starter motor -within seconds, easier on the battery, smoother running , better spark plug life, better acceleration, better fuel economy. Bigger smile
Forget lite weight starter motor !! esp if it aint broke.
- go e-ignition...
The P6 cannister takes the bigger A1705 filters but it is still restricted with the narrower inlet port c/f the SD1 cannister. As I dont do high speed motoring much nowadays ,I stuck with the P6 cannister. She does breathe and accelerate better Im sure of that.
Ive just ,in the matter of weeks, just been through almost the same scenario as you.
In my case the would engine shutdown but it would restart intermittently on the key. Very scary when driving the motorway and she turns off.
After many dead end investigations , I ended up pulling the whole...
Ive had to replace mine once recently. I think after 50 odd years of service ,Im not going to grumble. The only piss off was it broke on a busy motorway and a long way from home.
A long flathead screwdriver driven by an electric drill. Dont know what direction to drive though. You will need someone in the cabin to read your dash gauge so you will know when to stop.
I went the same route with the bigger filters. Used some securing bolts out of an SD1 filter box. Same difference as yours. No nuts falling into the inlet.
My imagination ? , but Im sure she runs better . By the way for those in the Antipodes -RYCO A1705 are the ones.
A tight place to work in. Fond memories from doing the ignition/steering lock on the other side.
The soldering looks a little like how I do stuff. Could be good -could be shite.
I would look at tiding up those raw joins. In the past Ive used a liquid insulation in tight places to great...
My BW35 was restored a year ago using modern parts eg teflon bands etc. My idea was to replace my 50yo 3.5 motor with this nicely worked V8 .Unfortunately its presently mated to a manual box. Just going through the mental gymnastics of doing the change over.
Not now
thanks guys
