I glued together bits of hollow D section soft rubber extrusion using a quality supper glue. Worked a treat.

As well as a jumping needle, I had a weird fault where the indicated speed didn't change when accelerating and only showed the new speed when you lifted off. (getting a surprise at how fast I was going sometimes) Cleaned the cable with wax and grease remover and a fresh dose of lithium grease...

Wins sell them Wins International - Wiper Motor Mounts - set of 3 Or search for "anti vibration mounts" and take your pick. I got mine from 'RS" who do anything technical it seems. Don't know if they are in the UK though. They have 461 options for that search. Have fun...:thumb:

All back together again. Patched up the spaces on the cold air ducts. Heater matrix all great, tested with hot water. All flap seals rebuilt with 3mm neoprene foam and preloaded overnight to form a perfect seat. Any surface rust removed and complete anti-rust treatment. Fan motor dismantled and...

Another question for you all. After some to-ing and fro-ing with the garden hose I've improved the flow through the matrix after some blobby things found their way out. However, on "heater Box Anyone" I read that good flow doesn't mean a good matrix due to an 'internal bypass' or is this just...

Brilliant.:thumb: Thanks Demetris. Always a logical reason for things in a P6. Have already pulled the glove box's out and the radio consul to get at the control linkages. That was the only way to disconnect them due to my large hands and small spaces. With all that cold air under the dash, it's...

Hi All Pulled my heater out today to try improve hot and cold air flows. Figured most of the air leaks are from foam seals on the flaps being shot, which they are, but what has caught me eye is the gaps in the duct to the face cold air vents. If you inspect the photo looking into the top hole...

Don't know if I'm correct or not but NOS is 40+ years old already so rubber parts will be pretty stiff by now, even if unused. Tom's going to try one soon, we'll know in a year or so if his is a goodie:rolleyes:.

The Monroe's were on the car when got it so can't help you there. I pulled them off to check their condition and reinstalled as they are fine. However, I did replace the fronts recently with GAZ adjustable shocks. Got them from Rimmers in the UK. (best price) but with freight and GST it becomes...

Good spotting. They came on the car so can't compare but they do ride very well together with the Monroe shocks And they look good :LOL:

Your correct. But being dependant on remote trading I cant afford to burn any bridges especially with the smaller suppliers. I prefer to contact them directly and resolve issues out of the limelight. (but if that fails, it's open slather:LOL:)

Your welcome. I have the advantage of being able to take reasonable photo's when under the car so do so whenever possible.

"Scotts" no longer list the boot:(. Oil or grease shouldn't matter if there are no leaks:thumb:. When I replace the boot, I'm going to follow in your footsteps and go grease as the creaking has returned. (When I had the shocks out yesterday, I could get the car to bounce to its full suspension...

Purchased the Hella pencil beams locally via my sons work. (Auto electrician) Can't remember the price but you get what you pay for. When I ordered these, they thought they'd do me a favor and got some cheaper ones that claimed to do the same thing. I bench tested these and took them straight...

Hi All It's been less than a year since I completed this and have noticed the boot is starting to crack. There is no oil in there so the seals are holding out, just the boot...... This was sourced from one of the major P6 parts suppliers in the UK . This isn't an unusual occurrence from what...
