    £ 16k and doesn't even have a radio :-)

    http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C377839 £ 16k must be a record breaker! Good to see one in such good condition coming to market. Does anybody know it? Must have been at some of the p6 meetings winning prices.

    Front too high?

    I am hoping to gain a better understanding of why some p6s sit higher in the front than others. Mine looks to be too high. D&G had a close inspection of my front suspension and found it to be all standard. They also pointed out that it looks a little high. Is there a simple way to lower the...

    Series 1 3500 in red now on Ebay

    This car was at a classic car auction up in Norfolk last week - obviously did not hit the reserve, as it is now on Ebay. It looks like a good solid car with some desirable extras and attractive color combination. A bit of a cross dresser with the series 2 styling parts though :wink: ...

    Horrible noise coming from the back

    Once again my TC is testing me :? Since last week a loud noise has developed that appears only when slowing down or driving at lower speeds. It happens both in acceleration and slowing down. Not always - very sporadically. I suspect something either touching the drive train or brakes. Has...

    Engine tie rod missing

    I realised that the tie rod at the front of my engine is missing. How important is this and if I replace it, is there any setup adjustment I should follow? Thanks for any of your insights on this. Martin

    Pressure in the valve cover

    My 2200tc engine is generating excess pressure in the valve cover. When disconnecting the breather hose it blows like a hair dryer on low setting - constant blow. When I drive the car 70+ it now also leaks oil through the oil filler cap even though the rubber washer is ok and the cap is...

    Rolling Road Results!

    Today I had my 2000TC tuned on the rolling road. Even though it had just been serviced and tuned 4 months ago it was lacking swiftness when accelerating. It wasn't bad just not quite where it should be. Anyway, after 1 hour on the rolling road it now shows more than 20% (!) improvement. It now...

    2- or 3-pot exhaust system for 2200TC?

    I am thinking of replacing my exhaust system and not sure if I am better off with the 2- or 3pot system. Can anybody advise if I would notice a difference. Does it matter that my chassis and body is a 2000TC if I should decide for a 3-pot system (the engine is a 2200TC)? Also, I am looking at...

    New TC exhaust manifold not plane

    I bought a new-old stock TC exhaust manifold off EBay. When it arrived I noticed that it wasn't perfectly plane :? . It drops off on the final zylinder by about 1, or 1.5 mm. I then brought it to a plateing company to have it put in the acid bath to get rid off any surface rust. When I...

    2200TC engine with HS8 Carbs

    My 2000TC was fitted with a later 2200TC engine, but the owner at the time kept the old HS8 carbs. I am writing this to find out if anybody has the same setup and any suggestions - possibly about having different jets or air-filter setup for example. The car runs smoothly, but hasn't got the...

    Designers choice of stereo

    I just wanted to show you my latest acquisition. I researched the market for a long time and after realising that Becker Mexico's prices are only going further north, I decided on getting the very digital but minimal Parrot Asteroid. As a product designer I was looking to match the language of...
