Hi, really appreciate the reply, thought I might have to find a cap and drill it, at least I know they are on the bay. Will look into a Pela pump option. Thanks Howard

Hi, sorry , I know it's an old thread but... Did the bleed kit fit the reservoir, looking to get one but they only seem to have upto 46 mm caps, my P6 cap measures around 80mm ? Howard

Thanks more good advise , I will check out Fosseway, going to the classic show Sunday will have a good look there too.

Absolutely, I intend to replace both hoses, suspect at least one if not 2 refurbished calipers , and a new diff nose seal. Replace the oil. At least I can take my time in the dry garage now should the bleed nipple on the LH caliper be in the lower port ?

And so finally, with a dry day the diff is out. Thanks for all your advise .

Hi, thanks for the reply, I have seen the type you are talking about, at £150, the one for the trolley jack are £45, but I hear what you say about them being safer and easier to use. On refitting, when you said rest front end on the shelf is that the mounting bracket for the nose mount ? Out of...

I guess I can have a look at that option once I have the diff ready to lower. To be honest , there are so many posts about rear brakes it's all a bit daunting, given there positions and complexity (as a caliper) . I have done lots of conventional brakes over the years, just thought maybe...

And Transmission jack, looking into buying one that fits on the trolley jack inplace of the saddle. Thanks

That's good info to have, I will check that out, many thanks for posting.

Many thanks, have seen that it's important to mark / match flange positions on prop a driveshaft to diff / disc. So that's good info , thanks

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Thought I was going mad, I guess the crossmember makes a great place to Jack and support the rear of the car, as the load will go in to the body in the same way as when it's on its wheels. I have been waiting a weather window as its a drive job and I'm getting...

Hi All This may be a stupid question , first big job on my P6 1974 2200 TC I am going to remove the diff primarily to fix rear brake calipers, not working, but also have oil leak from extension tube seal and rear hanger mounts look shot. Workshop manual (Haynes) does not mention the cross car...

Hi Geoff Yes the green series 2 is mine. Only had it a few weeks, needs rear brakes doing, so waiting for warmer weather, doing some smaller jobs. Keep us updated on progress. Howard

Hi, think I looked at this car earlier this year in Burnley, had been in Africa ? Must say it looked a very solid car. Unfortunately I am no painter, so passed. I bet you get it looking great. Good luck, I am in Wigan so not too far, may see you out in the summer . Howard

Thanks Phil, encouraging words. When i looked underneath, i thought , oh great looks like a good set of pads on the rear brakes. But ... handbrake does nothing. Ready with the ramps to take a look, and been reading / searching info . Just waiting for a bit warmer weather, to be honest.

Thanks, it was originally on the Isle of Man for 30 years, so only given the current reg in 2003. Not been used much recently, so needs some re commissioning. Notably handbrake doesnt work, not looking forward to that one.

Thanks, it seems pretty solid, needs some TLC, hoping to pick the collective knowledge as we get it back to health.

Just a quick hello, from me Just taken ownership of my first P6, after many years of longing. Hopefully we will be out and about next summer, after asking lots of dumb questions this winter.
