    Running worse when warm

    Hi folks Have a 1972 2000 sc. When the car is warm it starts to run 'lumpy'. Is this likely to be a carburettor thing or something else ? It's hunting I guess you'd say. I think the idle needs adjusting, but thought I'd check collective wisdom. Why only when warm? Cheers all

    Job done. With the help of Dad's workshop. We tapped out the discs and replaced the broken piece of cable. Heater control leaver fell off in my hand on the way home - another little job :D Cheers Mart

    BW 35 Speedo Drive

    Hi all, Speedo cable snapped last sunday morning, investigated to find the right angle drive had undone itself and was hanging around on the end of the cable in the gearbox tunnel. I remember having to sort this out on my previous P6 - I think my dad and I replaced the final bit of cable that...

    piranah electronic ignition, help

    Hi, my car has had a piranaha electronic ignition box fitted. The fuse that protects the windscreen washer, stop lights and flashers has blown, and according to the manual it should be in a fuse box under the bonnet on the right. But all that's there is the piranaha box. Does anyone know if the...

    Looks like a nice car - pity it's not a 2200... and pity that cheque from the tax man hasn't dropped onto the doormat yet.

    Nick came and took our baby last week - garage seems very empty now :-) Hope some of you benefit from organ donation - her seats were in very good order. Hope a half decent K or M plater comes on the market soon! Cheers Martin

    KMK 586P - Pronounced Dead

    I see what you mean. It does look like the cover was off - don't remember that it was when I took this one in the late '90s. I did replace once, can't remember which side though :-) Trick of the light maybe? Mart

    KMK 586P - Pronounced Dead

    Yes it's Mr. Dunning - bizarrely on the way to an Easter Egg Hunt at the local country park, the Mrs spotted a 2000TC for sale - could this be destiny we thought? But on closer inspection and keeping a cool head, we decided to pass :-). As for KMK - she went rotten in the sills and the engine...
