Hi, I bought a pair of front calipers from MEV (used them before) some months ago excellent price and so far no problems, fitted perfectly except for one thing, the hole for the threaded insert on the caliper for the short metal brake pipe was too deep to make a seal and the brake fluid poured...

Thanks guys, all sorted now

Water pump, long nosed, wanted for 1975 2200 SC, must be good condition. Steve

When searching in Ebay you often get a compatibility lookup to help ensure getting the correct part. My P6 is 1975 SC 2200 auto, I have assumed that it is the top one in the list to select from as below, is this correct? Buying front brake parts, getting confused, thought they all had the same...

Just to say that the bodge I did by screwing 2 very small woodscrews (24 in total) into the small space alongside each end of all fuses in the box, (the heads of the screws must be countersunk ones) thus pushing on and tightening up the contacts has worked since I posted about it on August 2020...

My alternator is giving 12.9 volts which I think is a bit low with headlights on. On looking at it there are 3 wires in the harness that join it, 2 thickish ones to the plug at the back and a thin one not connected to anything. Ignition light goes out when you start it. The wiring diagram in...

Hi been driving my 2200 SC 1975 for many years with the kickdown cable broken. Got a cable recently, at the adjuster end there is a tiny metal tube sliding on the cable, this has been crimped tightly on the old cable so it didn't move. It all looks fairly straightforward to change but can find...

Thanks guys, got the panel off ok. all screws undid. However the black vinyl covering was very brittle being 47 years old, so soaked the rusty corner in boiling water and was able to slowly peel back past the affected bit, sanded rust off, primed and covered in adhesive and used very carefully...

Thanks, will try when its cooler though

How do you get this panel off - do you pull from the outside or is the fitting behind the interior trim? Have got some what look like rust bubbles under the plastic skin.

Thanks for quick reply, unfortunately don't have a Workshop Manual only Haynes. Wadhams seem to just have the one sort at a good price. When it stop raining will take a photo

Bit confused over what front brake pipes to get for my P6 Auto SC 2200 1975. I had thought they were the same for all later P6's but trawling eBay has cast a few doubts. Metric brakes maybe an issue if it has them?

Took my 2200SC in for a safety check last year instead of MoT, tester said it would have failed on splits in a tyre, needed welding and one back brake not working at all and large oil leak which I had said had been there since he first tested it 20 years ago, but was a lot better than when I...

I inserted 1/2" wood screws top and bottom in the little space next to each of the 12 fuse clips in the fusebox, which really did tighten up the electrical contact. First time I haven't had to bang the box to get the lights to work, probably not for the purists but it is working well at the...
