I went to look at this Copperleaf car. It Looked beautiful, glistening in the sunshine....and with original carpets in good order I believed the mileage was genuine. I then put on my boiler suit and got down on the ground and looked underneath....Oh dear..... The outer sills that you see, as...

Do you still have the front discs for a 2000?

1966 Series 1...Both my outer dipped headlights went on a trip back from London last week.. Always check the obvious as I assumed it must be the switch or wiring.. testing the Sealed Beam 3 pin connectors with H4 pulbs from my Citroen proved the dipped part of both the SBs had gone. The dipped...

I have had to remove the steering wheel a couple of times now.. The series 1s have the centre "2000" logo bar attached from the rear of the wheel by two crosshead bolts. They are seriously difficult to get to, as they are not far enough apart that even when you turn the wheel 90 degrees the...

The 1960s motor shows were usually filmed. Pathe News has may clips which include the p6. Enjoy!

A BIG thankyou to those that run the forum and contribute..... Coming back from a classic car show a few weeks ago my 66SC started misfiring and running rough. Couldnt coax her home and had to use the RAC, (1st time in 9 years) to be recovered. The RAC man said it was the distributor to coil...

I saw this orange car at the cars show I attended last sunday. (My car is the last one in the flickr album!) This F reg was a strange beast with series 2 rear lights, boot scripts and cloth interior. It also had a white vinyl roof and series 2 vinalised roof pillars. Looking at your colour...

There are anumber of referal cashback sites about. I have been amember of Quidco for a few years and have made nearly 200 pounds in cashback. If you are buying online i always check to see if the retailer is signed up with Quidco and if they are ensure I use my link from there to make a...

Every year my insurance company tries to put up my insurance. Having got some comparative quotes Ithen ring them.. After some chat they usually say "Ill speak to my manager.....in view of your length of time as avalued customer we'll give you a one off loyalty bonus". Hey presto renewal at near...

Thanks Demetris, I have a box full off varios grommets, neoprene bushes etc collected over 30 years of vehicle ownership so will see if i can make do and mend!

1. My understanding.....80% of the way down the gear lever sits in a ball and socket joint to allow movement. Below this the remaining 20% of the gearlever ends in a knobby end. This end sits in a loop which is connected to the gearchange shaft . Movement of the knobby end making contact with...

Thank you all for your responses. My car sailed through the MOT today. A power bypass feed to the park/sidelight switch resolved the problem. :D

I like contrasts so the other car for me is a trusty Citroen Dyane (No 3). Aircooled twin pot simplicity and as the late Michael Sedgwick summed up in his book on classic cars 'A useful hack with more performance thanyou would suspect'. Now when i want to go really fast i have a 750 motorbike..

Thanks for the replies. I would like to try a bypass. After removing the handbrake gearlever console and the centre console I have better access to the rear of the light switch... The wiring diagram for RHD with neg earth shows a control box with letters DFWBBE for the feeds. I have scanned...

Thought I would use my Late 66 series one to go out last night. It hasnt been on a night drive for some months. Car started fine but no sidelights or headlights! Indicators and brake lights work. Anything to do with side lights/headlights e.g parking light, headlight flasher nothing happens...

Whether any of these are classics is a matter of personal opinion...... 1970 Morris 1100 (mums old car reliable but rusty) 1973 1300 Escort Estate (ok but rusty) 1972 MGBgt (looked nice but very unreliable) 1978 Citroen Dyane ( great daily hack with more performance than you would suspect)...

Many Thanks for the advice. I can get spring assisters on ebay so might give them a try. The caravan is late 60s Cheltenham Fawn and is the smallest and lightest model in their range.

I am taking a caravan on holday for 3 days in August and am prepping the car slowly.. SirD passed its MOT recentley and I am attending to the few observation points. Driveshaft uni replacement tomorrow and will have a look at the Dedion elbows closeley whilst doing this. My car has never been...

This excellent site gives the colours the cars were made in: http://www.roverp6.info/P6%20production%20colours.htm

Thanks Eric for the compliment. My late 66 2000sc is in Burnt Grey which is some lights can look very grey.. When I bought the car it looked like City Grey in the pics. In another light it can look brownish. It has classic aircraft style Irving seat belts. I intend to revive the leather and...

Sandalwood anyone?

black like the cool ones in the film 'Gattaca'

A weak return spring on the pedal means that sometimes the pedal does not fully return to the highest position.
