Hi Jiohn, Nick et al. still around! John has made contact and I am happy to chat. By the way Nick, no front ender, certainly not in my time. The inner wings were tidied up due to very minor corrosion when I got it and when I had a hockey stick replaced. Clean drive is one issue but the...

Tony I will aim to come along also with the car but probably not until 7.0ish Julian

Fair point although P6 lovers looking for a car would possibly find this here. Julian

Hi All I have a lovely series 2 V8 . Its a really nice one, very reliable and well specked (leather, huntsman, boot mount, ET,s Square 8's, PAS) Only done 58K with extensive history. Its Almond. Paid £4600 5 years ago and have improved it since. I'm now ready to take the plunge for a good...

My V8 auto does the same most times I drive it but not every time. It is also hesitant and pulls back when accelerating firmly from 6omph plus although it will still get to a decent speed. It was suggested yesterday at the Harrow meet that if I clean all the contacts on the coil and dizzy and...

Thanks Rich I will give Ian a call for the fuel filter. Now I have to find some SD1 heads. Any idea where to look? Juilan

At the last service in June by now retired P6 expert I was told he could not get hold of a petrol filter. Does anyone know ehere I might get one as its now about time I changed it. Also on another topic does anyone know whether sdi heads would make much difference in performance if I could get...

I live in Radlett and will try and get there and may bring another p6 owning friend in Radlett Julian

Thanks to all. I will start by making sure everything is cleaned /replaced in the way of filters and invest in Magnecor plug leads. What would electronic ignition cost and which one should I go for. I have heard good things about Mallory dual point distributors for performance but would that...

My v8 series II low compression auto is in excellent condition all round and has done 56,000 miles only with a meticulous service history. It probably pulls as well as it is supposed to but for me the performace has never been as good as I expected before I got it a few years ago - possibly...

Thanks for the tips. I will think about them if I cannot find anyone nearer. Are there any other recomendations please. I just need an annual service and a MOT but would want someone familiar with the cars to do it. No welding or anything to tricky required but someone who knows how these...

Can someone please help. My old mechanic is hanging up his spanners and I do not know who to trust my P6B to. I just need an MOT and an annual service. I live in South Herts and will travel maybe up to 30 miles but basically want a garage or mechaniceI can trust who is obvioiusly good, who...

Could well be indicating you are low on brake fluid. Mine did that and I kept thinking it was the float. Top it up and see and check if its leaking from the rear calipers! Julian

Hi Paul Now you got me puzzled. It has a parking permit around Hatton Garden.. Is this a VIP in the jewell trade? I'd talk P6's with him or her if i saw the person by the car. Can you give me a better clue? Julian

I saw this car again today. The reg number is NHT 325L It has an owners club sticker front and back. Is the owner a current member. Julian
