Hi I am restoring my 3500S and the only panel I still need is a rear passenger NS door. I do not need the window, regulator, door card etc - just the door frame and skin (I can't re-skin mine as the frame is shot at the bottom corner). Does anyone have a door (or frame+skin) in reasonable...

Hi All Has anyone got one of these please? It is the first link from the shaft from the Main Heater Control (the ram air one) that sits on the side of the heater box and opens the flap in the scuttle. It is supposed to be splined, but mine isn't - stripped due to a stiff flap (now sorted)...

Hi all I am looking for a rear driver's (offside) door or door skin in good condition. Colour not important although tobacco leaf would be great! I am near Edinburgh but could arrange a courier if it's too far Thanks Simon

Hi all I've had my 1973 V8 for about 18 months so I'd thought I'd change the plugs. I bought a set of NGKs from Wins. First problem- socket set plug socket wouldn't fit so I bought a simple box plug spanner and cut it down and ground it so it fitted. Next problem- not a single plug will move...

Happy to new year to all! As the title suggests, I am seriously thinking about using my 1973 3500S as everyday car (although I don't actually use a a car everyday).I have a 2007 Alfa 156 selespeed that I bought from new but am getting heartily fed up with the running costs. Because I use the...

Hi all It's finally time to sell my 1967 2000 TC. I've had the car for nearly three years, but since buying a 3500S last year, I do not have the garage space and want it to go to someone who can care for it. The car is SORNed and does not currently have a MOT (it expired last August) and it...

Hi Maybe it was because I was thinking of selling it....... I started my 1967 TC a couple of weeks ago and it ran very unevenly (sounded like less than 4 cylinders). So yesterday I tried again and it ran for about 30 secs then stopped and it wouldn't start again or even turn over. Today I...

Hi This could be a stupid question but..... I need to fit the side chrome strip trim on the rear wing after the PO repaired it (so there are no holes). I bought the clips from MGBD parts but can't work out how to secure them. They look like My question is - do they just push into a...

Hi My 1967 2000TC steering wheel has a couple of cracks in it, so I bought a better one on e-bay. But I can't get mine off the splines on the column! I have a rubber hammer etc, but don't want to whack it too hard. Any ideas please? Thanks Simon

Hi http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C191460# This has been repeatedly on Car and Classic for over a year. I seem to remember it was somewhere in North Scotland. As I'm in Scotland I though I'd might look, but I wonder if someone else has seen it? I also don't want to waste time and petrol...

Hi My passenger door is completely shot at the bottom, and the lower skin is trashed too. (see pic). I have bought a repair bottom panel and repair lower skin from Wins. I have done several MGs, but those were bottoms and then whole doorskins. I realise that it is difficut to make a nice...

Hi Today, the P6 had its first outing of the year. As I was driving, I heard a high-pitched 'zzzip' and the speedo stopped working. On getting home, I have disconnected the speedo angle drive and cable from the strip speedo. The angle drive seems free enough and truns when you use a...

Hi MY 1967 TC has two horns fitted. One doesn't work at all (contacts broken) and the other is a cheap nasty one attached to the brake servo mounting. My question is that if I get Hi-Lo replacement horns, where should they be mounted? I note in the manual it says something about under the...

Hi My 1969 TC failed its MOT on the handbrake - efficiency only 13% and too much travel (the last click). I have looked through the posts on the forum and see this is not unusual! So I went under the car when it was on ramps - there looks to be at least 5mm of material on each of the pads - is...

Hi I have a 'clatter' coming from the engine of my 1967 2000TC at approximately 1200-1300 revs. This happens on the way up and way down - it's non-existent at low or high revs. It seems to be coming from the top end. It's very loud! I have just changed the oil (Morrison's 20/50) and it has made...

Hi My radiator from my 1967 2000TC is shot - it needs total re-coring apparently. As for this model, this costs £200-£250 (confirmed by my local re-corer and Wins Ltd), I was wondering if anyone had one if these to spare please? It has the integral Oil Cooler and an expansion tank on the...

Hi Does anyone know of a Series one Sandalwood or Tan Interior for sale (e.g. from a scapped car)? I have a 1967 2000 TC and (I think) the door cards are Sandalwood (as they're not Buckskin or Ebony!). However, a PO has put in rather tatty black leather seats. So I would like to get some nicer...

Hi My 1967 Arden Green 2000TC has Sandalwood (I think) interior panels but Black Leather seats (and new grey carpets!). Does anyone know if a Heritage Certificate for a P6 tell you what colour the trim was originally (I know for MGs it does, but for Land Rovers it doesn't) as I would like to...
