Hi Chaps, Found this on youtube a few months back; P6 V8 Burnout Make sure you turn your speakers up nice and loud!

Hi everyone, I thought it was about time that I returned to this forum, and welcome to all new members :D I've been a bit busy lately to say the least! Shortly after the national rally at Crich, my car has spent most of it's life in my garage, undergoing a major transformation. Most of the...

Well, as promised, here are the pictures of how I have stopped the really annoying rattling noise from the front callipers on Erik. Here is the standard set up for the anti rattle springs; and here is the bag of parts used from a ford Capri. The only parts used are the anti rattle springs...

Hi Guy's I seem to remember this was talked about some time ago on this forum. I've recently had the same problem on my Ford Capri, as I get on my P6 V8. Every time you go over a speed bump, or a pot hole, there is a loud clattering noise from behind the front wheels. Upon inspection on the...

Hi, I've spotted a red P6 in Rotherham twice in the last couple of weeks, second time was this morning, at about 8am. The car had a boot mount kit on it. It was travelling towards me on Broom road. Anybody out there own it? :D

Greetings Pop Pickers!! Well I've finally done the rear springs on Erik. What a transformation!!! Before the car was having serious handling problems, especially in the wet. It was way too easy to provoke some Roger Clark style cornering! My friend and I done both sides in just over an hour...

I've just painted the sill covers on Erik, the correct Huntsman Brown, After trawling through colour chips, and getting it wrong once! (oops, expensive primer then!) I have discovered that RAL8014 Brown is a damn good match. Well at least to Erik's original Huntsman roof anyway. :D

Hi Guy's and Gals, We've just decided to go to Mallory park tommorow (Sunday), to watch the end of season Top Hat classic car race series. If you're bored tommorow, why not come along? It costs 12 quid each to get in, and with it being end of season, the racing should be really close! Weather...

Hi Chaps, Old Erik seems to have head gasket issues again............ I was wondering if there is an advantage to be had using the more modern type of Felpro head gaskets? The original right hand head gasket failed due to corrosion of the gasket at the rear most cylinder. I replaced them with...

Hello Peeps, We have a club stand book for Thoresby on Monday the 28th August. It's near Ollerton, Within Clumber Park area. Anyone care to join us? Send me a PM, and I'll let you know more. We should have some competions organised.Noting too strenuous though!!!!!!

Went to the Ashover show, in Derbyshire this weekend. and spotted several P6's! 2x Almond V8's 1x Lunar grey (can't remeber which-think it was a 2000) 1x Blue series 1 2000 and a well know technicolour P6! Oh, and of course Erik was there. This is an excellent show, and normally has a very...

Hi Peeps, Anyone going to Waddington Airshow this weekend? I'm going on Saturday. :)

Hi Peeps, I have strange noises coming from the front brakes on my V8. During prolonged downhill braking, when the brakes get hot, the fronts start to make a low grumbling sound. Any ideas? I don't get any squeal, or any other noises. I was wondering if it might be anything to do with modern...

Might I offer a suggestion for listing events in the magazine, or on the forum? If the post code of the event was listed, it would make it much easier for the membership to find out how far they are going to have to travel, and then do a route planner to find the event easily. We have started...

Hi Peeps, A frined of mine is looking for a P6 V8 as a project, to return to the road. He isn't too bothered about engine condition, but would like one with a reasonably sound base unit. However, we're not scared of a bit of welding!! :D We are located in Chesterfield, Derbyshire...

Hello Peeps! Does anyone do stainless steel wheel nuts for the 3500S? I gave the rostyles a good clean yesterday, and I've noticed that the chrome is starting to fall off........... The wheel nuts I have bought are about a year old (reproduction) and it looks like they have only...

Hi Chaps, Just a thought, but it would be great to have a P6 rally at the Crich Tramway museum, in Derbyshire. For those of you who have never been there, they often host classic car meets, and the cars park along the main street, next to the tramlines. Their webiste is...

Hi again, I've got a problem with the 65 autobox on my V8. When cold the gearbox is reluctant to change up into top gear, although this fault goes away when the gearbox has warmed up. When the gearbox has warmed up, the fault occurs the other way round! That is, it hangs on to top...

Hi Peeps! And welcome to my first posting on the p6roc forum. In the last year or so, I have spotted several P6's out and about the Derbyshire area, some 4 pots, some V8's. So my next thought is--- anyone fancy meeting up for a run around the Peaks and Dales? I've just done a 100...
