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...

Hi Richard, Rear Valance, rear decker panel, rear reflectors, windscreen chromes, and a few badges here if you want them? Let me know. Cheers, Phil

Gareth, as im not in the mood to argue, and you obviously dont like the bonnet, I'll arrage a DHL collection from your address (I still have it) On Tuesday for you! All i ask is its wrapped up as it was, and I'll paypal you the money back! :D Many people have profited from my recent...

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...

Time to advertise some parts - The engine - Its a High compression (10.5:1) 3.5 V8, has had an oil and filter change, new plugs/leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, air filters, flame traps, breather filters etc, all yesterday! Less than 10 miles done since the service. Starts, runs and drives...

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...

I will do, as soon as the wing is off tomorrow and its up in the air, i'll get some Photos! What really gets me is, whoever bodged it could have spent the same amount of time and effort doing it right!

Maybe its worth a shot... Im glad that the car failed over a period of time, and finally gave up the ghost while parking it in the Unit today, rather than like you said, on the motorway at 70! We'll see what happens....

I would if i knew who to get back in touch with...It was already MOT'd when Chris bought it, he did nothing more than park it on his drive, so i cant really blame Chris for the rust..nor would i as he's been really helpful with holding the car, sorting parts etc.... The person to blame would be...

Unfortunately yes! Ive done 450 miles in the car, and to be fair to Chris, he described it exactly as it was. The rust was badly covered using sealer, filler and underseal...i guess the regular use its been getting have just losened it all up a bit!

Ooh, forget to say its leather!

The car is The yellowy beigy colour, and the interior is the same. I'll get some photos in the morning! If im honest, the seats are a bit dead, the stitching is coming apart and the leather is old. I have a set of covers though, and the door cards and carpets are good! :D

Have you found a door yet? I have a pretty damn good one on the car Im breaking? Im in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. £40??? I can get photos if needed? Phil

Hi all, The front NS of the car decided today it didnt want to be part of the car anymore, and has collapsed to the point where the front wheel moves about 5-6 inches forward and back in every drive gear, and has fractured and ripped the chassis that much its broken the steering idler and...

Which scrapyards have them? Has balby got any in at the moment? Might be worth a try!

Can you still get the repair sections to replace the chassis legs where the trailing arm bolts on, on the front suspension? Found that the entire chassis leg on the NSF is virtually not there, causing the bottom arm mount to fracture and move the wheel a good 3 inches forward and back. Aside...
