I found that removal and disassembly was difficult. I had a spare set for which the black leather was completely shot. For the sake of 'education' I gave it a whirl to see if I could remove the covers, with the intention of repair. A multitude of retaining hoops and clips. Then I found that the...

Now tipped

Hi all. I do not expect may, if any responses for this item but I am under a lot of pressure to create space. I have full set of Black Cloth( more likely Blue/Black) Intact and complete other than one small hole in drivers seat. Sadly they are also 'crumbly'. Please PM if any use otherwise...

Brilliant! Thanks all

Thanks for that Grim. I shall try it on Monday as I am off to a show tomorrow. I take it that it is a bundle of laughs putting that nut back on again. Time is on my side :shock:

Coming home with a brand new MOT on the passenger seat last week, I encountered traffic holdup on the Runcorn bridge near to where I live. Suddenly traffic bunches up and I was forced into an emergency stop.It stopped as it should :D . But only later did I realise I was losing my brakes. By the...

Disappointed to find that this months copy of Practical Clasics had a big write-up of the show, but no mention of P6 Club stand. Perhaps they have had their quota through the Mexico Brown TC

Me too!

I am slowly restoring my 2000SC Tobacco leaf car. It most certainly will not be ready any time soon but I would suggest sticking with Tobacco Leaf. My car had ' of the several shades of this colour and I have always thought of it as the 'ugly duckling ' of the range. But I have now changed my...

Up till now I have been an interested observer in this thread until deadsrar produced a photograph of his steering box anf harveyp6 clarified the oil top up nut. I remember a post concerning my steering damper problems and decided to check today, only to find it empty. Now filled. Thank you...

I would get on the net-Ebay in my case. My 2000Sc needed a new battery in July and having reently put swapped a 2year from the SC to my TC which is needed for shows.. I was quoted £70 from my local spares shop. Unfortunately(for them) I have the reciept for the one just swapped to my TC for £40...

I know its a daft one but I remember going through all this when I first got my SC.The temp guauge did not work and I was afraid of it overheating and worse. I went for wrong sensor and bought a new one-did not work, a second hand strip speedo( which you are welcome to) and a new themostat...

Thanks for your replies Dave and Richard. It may be that the engine has been rebuilt but it is little noisy and a bit 'spitty' and does not burn oil or rattle. I was advised some time ago that these engines, when worn, have a tendency to record low pressure and a favourite 'bodge' was to either...

} I have the opposite problem to you, as stated in earlier posts. I have too much pressure! I have bought a pack of springs and a replacement plunger without success. I have checked the oil line filter near the timing chain cover with similar result. I have not yet checked the pressure guage...

I agree completely with Pilkie view of the two clubs. I am a lapsed member of P6ROC. Lapsed in despair at events leading to the loss of forum and joined P6DC. I continue to be a member only because of Insurance 'club discount' and am a regular reader of the forum. Pilkies comarisons are spot on...
