It's fair to say that I've had a pretty cr*p time of it recently with my trio of P6s.
OCC's seat recolouring is good, but not great as yet
Rejuvenating (very dry) leather seats & I'm having serious issues with BOP
Flicking ammeter
When I had a look at Hazel's distributor, the points were unbelievable:
In fact, it's embarrassing to post that picture
How the car ran at all is amazing as they're well due for replacement.
However, I had a service kit so set about fitting a new set & then got the timing spot-on with a strobe along with the dwell angle using my multi-meter. I took it out for a drive then when finally checking the dwell angle I knocked the meter & it fell onto the edge of the fan, which bent & terminally damaged the (new) radiator
My trusty meter is finished (I've used it for probably 25 years) & you can see the bent fan blade in the radiator core. Of course coolant went all over the garage floor & I've now got the joys of changing the radiator again & the ATF fluid to deal with when I disconnect those pipes.
To say I was upset is an understatement, however I didn't get hurt & it'll mend. Hopefully things can only get better...!
