OK, a bit of wiggling and levering and it's the bottom ball joint that's the culprit...the great big one that faces downwards on the strut. It's got a hell of a lot of play in it so that needs to get changed ASAP. Are they a big job?

OK, stall test worked fine engine speed stayed at 1800rpm absolutely spot on. I then disconnected the kickdown cable and took the car for a run around the block. It ran a lot smoother but obviously no kickdown. I've adjusted (slackened) the cable as far out as it will go, but the car still kicks...

That's what I'll look for then...there were no obvious witness marks, and it only does it on right hand turns which is odd. I'll have a better look in the garage later.

No, no front or rear mudflaps are fitted to it.

Hi Everyone, Hope you can help, my new everyday driver (1971 P6 V8) has a bit of an issue with the gearbox. The previous owner told me that there had been a problem with the gearbox when he bought the car and as such he'd bought another. It was from a Stag, and with Clive Annable's help the...

Hi Everyone, I've bought a P6 V8 to use everyday, but before I start using it there are a couple of serious issues I need to sort out. The first, and probably the most Important is that there is a serious grinding noise when going around roundabouts or taking right hand turns. It happens at...

Hi mate, Its been a while since I was on here, the last P6 I had was from another forum member and I should have never gotten rid of it! Is yours still available? Regards, Phil

I have for sale a full set of 5 14x6 Minilight Alloy wheels. They are 5 x 127 stud pattern so will fit SD1/P6 some Fords etc, and are a rare wheel to find in this pattern. They will need some refurbishment, but are not too bad. These are the original style wheels as fitted to the Police...

Gareth, Good to see it arrived OK. I hope my packaging was up to scratch? :D It looks really good on the car, and it'll be even better when its painted! I loved how it looked on the car, really makes them look a bit special! Anything else i can help with just ask! Phil

Hi Everyone, I found this on another forum, a 1966 2000sc for restoration! Thought it might be of interest to someone on here! I contacted the seller and this is what i got - "The cars still available, I've a couple more enquiries. I've attached some pictures and I've had quick look around...

Like i said in my PM mate, its really not worth it! With the time it would take, and the messing around involved, i might as well sell what i can, and admit defeat on this one! Lol, you've seen the back garden, Ive plenty more projects to keep me busy! This kind of thing is bound to happen with...
