Hej & tjena gentlemen! Thank you for enlighting answers! :D Yeah- the nice plink-plonk, me like it but annoying for our papa when me and my brother imitated it at every turn in the 70's and 80's in our 144 or 142 :lol:

Suddenly no flasher, either by hazard warning or by using flasher control. The relay possibly? How do i reach it. Haynesbook says "under the dash". How much do i have to remove? And: does it require an original part or can i use a standard flasher relay, for an elderly Volvo par exemple?

I'm not sure what you mean by the bullets.

Only the taillights, all others: reverse, indicators, brakelights do work. I will try the trick with earting directly to the battery. Thank you gentlemen! Looking forward to take out the old girl on the road, the P6 is just such a nice ride :D

I know, this should be a quite straightforward thing, but it´s a bit puzzling :?: anyway, hence: 1. the fuse is allright and no corrosion on contactspaces 2. The lamps are allright Any earthing spots at the rear that are "usual suspects"? Other usual suspects?

Thanks a lot, i will check those places!

The car is a 2000 TC -72. Just before winter sleep the car got a spongy pedal, where you could build up pressure by pumping. Now when taking out the car again i bled the brakes, only finding one at the rear?! Ok, i bled that one first, and then the front ones. I tried the car on the road and had...

Hi, It is a 2000 TC manual, btw, -72. The gear lever rattles noisily when i come up to 50 mph and faster. If i put my hand firmly on the stick, the noise goes out (of course :lol: ). I learned from the former owner that the linkage was rebuilt in a garage. Have you got any hints? Put grease...

Cheers, thanks :D

It´s a 2000 TC 1972 btw. Had very good pressure, there´s new oil, and there´s no indication of enginefault and oil is spraying up to the head when i lift fillercap (OIL-fillercap :wink: ) while idling. So it can´t be sudden zeropressure :) So any suggestions? Usual suspects? Jonas

Ok, thanks John!

How important is it to change oil in final drive? The filler plug is a bit wounded on my car, and also very hard to reach. I tried loosen the drainer (just to look at colour of oil) and it looked fresh. Shhould i bother with this or just drive on, i'm not making many miles/ season. Jonas

Cheers guys! There will be music in the P6 in spring, everything from Mogwai to Bach.

Hello, Planning to install a modern stereo in the old P6 (2000 TC -72), any suggestion from where i shall feed the current? Can i connect to one of the fuses? And if, how many amps, that is: whisch fuse shall i use? Many thanks! Jonas

Thanks very much for enlightening answers, gentlemen! I have the Haynes- book, and there´s no description how to change the cable, i'm sure it won't be too difficult, but i'm new to these cars so: any suggestions for working order?
