When searching in Ebay you often get a compatibility lookup to help ensure getting the correct part. My P6 is 1975 SC 2200 auto, I have assumed that it is the top one in the list to select from as below, is this correct? Buying front brake parts, getting confused, thought they all had the same...

My alternator is giving 12.9 volts which I think is a bit low with headlights on. On looking at it there are 3 wires in the harness that join it, 2 thickish ones to the plug at the back and a thin one not connected to anything. Ignition light goes out when you start it. The wiring diagram in...

Hi been driving my 2200 SC 1975 for many years with the kickdown cable broken. Got a cable recently, at the adjuster end there is a tiny metal tube sliding on the cable, this has been crimped tightly on the old cable so it didn't move. It all looks fairly straightforward to change but can find...

How do you get this panel off - do you pull from the outside or is the fitting behind the interior trim? Have got some what look like rust bubbles under the plastic skin.

Bit confused over what front brake pipes to get for my P6 Auto SC 2200 1975. I had thought they were the same for all later P6's but trawling eBay has cast a few doubts. Metric brakes maybe an issue if it has them?

Replacing carpet in passenger floor after welding trip, found what looked like an inspection panel in the top of the transmission tunnel behind the ashtray and rear seatbelt anchorage bolts, tried to lever it up but solid, too hot anyway, does it come up, if so what is it for?

Found an old rev counter in a box of junk that came to light, think my brother fitted it to a Mini in the 1960's. Managed to work out how to fit it to my SC 2200 from an earlier thread which contained manufacturers instructions, but it seems to be reading double what it should be. Its a...

Rebuilt off-side rear caliper of my 1975 P6 2200 SC using data found in various threads - for which many thanks guys. Pretty sure hydraulics now ok, not completely clear in my head as to how the strange rods, s springs and things actually work. Think I have got it all back together, but how...

Just about to sort my brakes out as its warmer, mistyped on eBay and got the Landrover section, plenty of Brake Master Cylinders for 1960's 70's that look just like the one on my 1975 2200 P6, but for a fraction (less than £20) of what the P6 specialists want to squeeze out of us. Whilst the...

Need to work on rear brakes so will put the car up on ramps to have a look first, from reading various posts it seems it may be best to drop the diff down to ease access to get to calipers and maybe remove a disc, can this be done leaving the car up on the ramps or do I have to take the road...

My 1975 P6 2200 SC Auto no-longer legally needs to have an MoT, test for which expired a few weeks ago. Whilst I can appreciate that a Test only reflects the state of the car on the day it was done, I was worried that this lack of a check could have some implications on my Insurance, so I...

Steering on my 1975 2200 SC Auto seemed more than usually heavy when retrieving it from Sainsbury's yesterday, tyres are at 30 psi which I guess I can up a bit. Is it possible to get new grease or oil somehow into the track rod ends and other steering joints, and change whatever is in the box...

How can I get behind the speedo to change the illuminating bulbs of a 1975 2200 SC with a strip speedo. I'm not understanding the Haynes instructions. Have undone 2 screws at the top but it won't come out enough to get my arthritic fingers in. Haynes says something about removing the end...

Searching in the depths of my garage I found an old Lucas Rev Counter, thought I'd see if it could be fitted to my 1975 2200 sc auto. I can work out how to switch it from 6 volts to 12 and to Negative earth, but what goes to the terminal that takes a loop of wire around it. Is it the wire...

My P6 2200 AUTO fan blades had much too much play on them, so water pump problem. I had had the pump re-con back in 2011 and found the paperwork which had the words 'lifetime guarantee' , so tongue in the cheek made contact again and was told that this was true and just send it back, which I...

Thermostat Housing Gasket leaking, managed to get the 3 nuts off the studs ok, but can't shift the housing up off the studs, tried levering, small chisel at the join and hitting upwards with a copper hammer, but scared to hit too hard as its aluminium so probably corroded onto the studs. Would...

Boot lid keeps falling on my head, anybody know how to tension up the torsion things that seem to control this??

Hi, anyone got a rear silencer box for 1975 P6 2200 SC Auto at a reasonable price near Sawbridgeworth or Burnham-on-Crouch - can only spot very expensive new stainless steel ones around, but might have to force myself to buy one I guess. Also serviceable rear over-riders (bumper not brilliant...

Nearside indicators work ok but slow, offsides light up but do not blink. Changed flasher unit, nearsides worked much better than before so worth doing, no change to drivers side, took bulbs out individually in case of some shorting problem, no change. Any ideas please. 1975 P6 2200 auto

Plenty of oil on rear of engine starting at the join of the head and the block, so have got new gasket set to fit. Is it worth putting some form of jointing paste on the gasket, especially around the 'O' ring ?? If it goes again its up for sale as I can't take it anywhere where friends have...

What amp rating battery do I need to buy for my 1975 2200 SC Automatic ?? The current one was a freeby but is not the right one, its an 80 amp Leisure Battery. It passed its MoT yesterday so deserves a treat. Cheers
