Completed Getting the spring in is a little tricky. I've worked the handbrake lever and the piston moves out slowly. Wind it back in and repeat. Once I'd worked out that the inner cup of the piston rotates anticlockwise as the rachet wheel turns, the rest is rather straightforward. However...

I purchased an 80mm cap off of eBay for £5 and modified it to fit my gunsons eezibleed. You only need to drill a hole in the centre of the cap. Think it's girling. I stopped using the kits to push the fluid through using a spare tyre. I find it so simple to use my pela pump. (Oil extractor)...

I've used Parker hydraulic hose which is used in my industry. 3/8" with a thin steel wall inside. It won't burst or collapse.

I've had a bit of time away from the car to have a think. I remember about 6 months ago that I'd stumbled across a pair of rear calipers for these wonderful cars. They were heavily corroded and probably seized. So into a bucket of white vinegar they went. Fast forward 2 weeks. If I remember...

How about the wiring from the old starter to the new lightweight one. Any pictures of which wires go where?

I have a brand new set sitting in the box under the window in the hall. It's been opened to check the contents and looks really good quality. I went for the middle option of the 3. I'll get around to fitting it at some point.

The cambelt change on this car is not cheap. I think it takes about 6 hours and has 3 belts. Check when it was previously done.

I've tried to find this "lucky breathes easy" thread on here but cannot find it. Can anyone nudge me in the right direction

I've been thinking about one of these lightweight starter motors from powerlite. P/N is RAC318. Do they really start the car faster?

If need, I have a spare V8 diff sitting on my garage floor. I was going to scrap it as I've kicked it a few times but I'll delay that decision for a while.

I wouldn't disagree with you. 1st time I've seen or worked on anything P6 related. Not happy I've been beaten. I'm lost with this. If I took the whole lot off the car and dismantled it all to see how these calipers work, I'd have a better understanding. But I'm not doing that. Fancy one last...

Anyway can anyone tell me what's gone on here. Doesn't look original. Without another to look at, I can't see what has or hasn't happened.

Today I tried to sort the handbrake but its more or less beaten me. Crawled underneath again and found some slack in the cable. Both quadrants are on their stops with the brakes off. Those 2 x 9/16 nuts are seized and you all know access isn't easy. Not much I can do to be honest. I will have to...

I like that.
