Hm . the clock stopped. Is it a sign?

hello, on the off chance ... Do you happen to have a 1:3.7 differential for sale from a Wolseley or Riley 1500, a Morris Minor or some other compatible rear axle (perhaps Marina, Allegro etc. ) to fit a 1979 MG Midget 1500? Or a cheap but use-able j-type gear box with overdrive from...

Colin, yes over time water collects under the rear seat, in the small "pit" with all the other grott, but the metal there is sound (so far). The water finds its way into the double skinned area under the airing slots and ventures under the seats from the long-ish hole at about elbow height...

Hello, the day has come! The Fleet is insured on classic contracts, i.e. minimum driver age is 25. My nice, though, spending a year on exchange from Germany turned 17 and her provisional license appeared in the post today. Her first proper driving lesson will be very shortly and she passes...

Hello! I am tracing water ingress problems and came across the following open question? Which way around do the plastic "ears" face that are held by a plastic implant, glued into the rear pillars between rear door and rear screen? Mine are facing inwards and that seems odd. With elevated...

UUps! Ex P6roc? What happened to my membership? Without it, my (Paul James) insurance for "The Fleet" may be void! Whom do I need to call and send some money? I think, I only joined in August so should have "half a years" membership left. The idea to join forces with the P6 club in my view...

Hi! My Midget drops the door mirror whenever it goes over 75 mph! What can I do to tighten the mirror action? it is an original tex mirror with 2 screws. Not too dissimilar from the mirror on my p6. Many thanks, as usual. Bandito.

Hello, I suppose this topic falls a bit inbetween gearboxes and Suspension. I need to replace the UJs on my driveshafts. One side in particular. My questions are: what parts do I need? (Ujs, de-dion gaitors etc.) what new seals and gaskets do I need? Is it ok to do one side at a time or should...

Hello, Are there any reduced price tickets available still for Beaulieu Auto jumble on the 12-13th September? Thanks! Bandito

Re: throttle linkage SU HIF6 2200 SC - Tricks to stop the play All is well that ends well. The problem really never was the throttle linkage. The old carburettor (now replaced with one overhauled by Gower and Lee (bless!)) suffered from "Hunting". The fuel mixture was set too low, so...

Hello, I need help with the following. The original choke bowden cable has a plastic outer sheath. At the carburettor side the ferrule is connected to the outer plastic sheath (seems like one part, originally) and the carburettor with a small plinth. I stupidly have removed the ferrule...

Hello, I am looking for a thermostat that switches at 77 degrees C for my 2200 P6. The one installed now seems to be switching too early. If I remember correctly, it does it when the cooling liquid reaches 72 C. Consequently, the car is running cold, in particular during the cold season...

Excellent, the front bearings seem to be sorted. Is there any more lore on the rear bearings? Things to look out for, the names of the bearings etc. What is so special about that real wheel bearing spacer? Can one not make a new one? Happy Christmas! :P

Ho Ho Ho! What is the generic name of P6 wheel bearings? I thought to put some of my Christmas money aside to buy a complete set of wheel bearings for my 1970 2000SC P6 (with a 2200 engine). Do you know which other bearings fit? Is it a DIY job? Will having it done professionally break the...

Dear Rover Lover, Do you have a Joggler, Joddler, Edge setting tool, you name it, for sale? Perhaps you don't need it anymore or you may have two. I want to start repairing my set of pretty grotty "spare" doors and have never done anything like that. Actually I have an aversion to sheet metal...

Hi, Stories abound of Molasse, phosphoric acid and full moon nights to expose your rusty bits to get a new shine. What is your recommended recip :wink: e to combat tin worm, in particular on parts you cannot reach, in box sections, in doors and inside your wallet, considering the pricey...

HI ! I am looking for door bottom inner repair panels. Or do you suggest to "roll your own"? The doors look pretty curvy around the bottom and invite seasoned panel beaters only to contemplate a repair. Are there any tricks? Thanks! Bandito

After replacing sealed beam units with H4 outer and H1 inner: Does is matter if the outer head lights have a pilot bulb holder? Is it important for MOT? I wanted just to check, that I am not swapping the old headlights for a new problem. Thanks!

Ian says: "-you have to make do with a cheaper equivalent.-" Can you please say what may fit and where to get it from? Cheers, :cool:

Drew, no.
