Best of luck!! Chicken's teeth, rocking horse s*** etc. etc. Been looking myself for ages!

Cheers mate, I'll look them up.

Hi guys, Too right it's annoying! Am looking on EBay for one of those gprs thingammybobs!

Interesting! It seems the 'strip' speedos all have a habit of flying around and wandering.

Much obliged roverp480. Very grateful for your advice. I'm trying to source one now. Eddy

Hi Ban306 and chrisw, thanks for your input. Will check all the 'easy'(?) options first before deciding whether it's a replacement job! Who'd have a classic car eh?? Eddy

Cheers mate. Have emailed you. Ed

Thanks Harvey, that's a great help.

Thanks guys, that's useful info. Mine is a manual with the 120mph speedo.

Hi All, The 'strip' speedo on my 1972 2000SC is very unsteady and wanders all over the place. Got my better half to follow me the other day at varying speeds and it turns out it's registering around 5-10mph slow. There is currently a 'new - old stock' strip speedo on Ebay, quoting: "Part number...

So could I ! Will keep on doing the Lottery!

Kent's 'end of Police life' vehicles were simply stripped of all their Police equipment and sent off to auction for disposal. Nothing was ever done to them to assist sales. For a short period of time, silver cars were purchased to obtain higher resale values. But that idea was dropped after the...

Here we are chaps, photos by the Kent Police Photographic Dept taken around 1974/5 . One made it to the front cover of P6 News in 1998 ! I'm neither of the Pc's shown in the first one, but it has been suggested that I'm in the second one going for a cuppa at the nearest 'Nick' !!;)

Yippeeeeee!! 'Ronnie' passed his MoT on Thursday (after an initial 'Fail' 'cos the horn didn't work at first - probably Granddaughter being a bit over enthusiastic a couple of days before). Brand new Lucas ones already purchased, quick fitting, retest and 'Bingo' official paperwork in hand...

The Met P6 in falkor's photo is one number below the registration on my Corgi Vanguards traffic model P6 in my collection. Hope the Met didn't use the repair shop again that resprayed the r/n/s/ door ! There's no 'S' after '3500' on the wing so, in line with the majority of cars in the Met at...

Hi falkor, As we say in 'Sarf Lundun' terms: "Luvly jubbly" !!:) I'll now go up in the loft to dig out some photos of a Kent P6 for you. Ed

Hi Ban, Got 'Ronnie' back on Thursday!! Garage sorted the gear lever, oil leak from front crankshaft AND the ignition switch for me ! Didn't have to take out another mortgage either :), which is good 'cos those jobs would have been beyond me (I know my limits!). All I want to do now is get him...

Hi, Many apologies, I've only just seen your post. Thank you for your very kind offer, but another P6 owner is coming over today with a repalcement column lock for me. So between us I think we may have a solution. Thanks again for your very kind offer. You've joined a growing list of other forum...

Cheers Willy. Will keep everyone updated re progress. Thanks again for your help. Ed

Hi Ban & Vern, You guys are all so very helpful, thank you. Reading your posts and, after examining the unit out of a car the other day, is extremely helpful. I should be getting Ronnie back today or tomorrow (after the gear lever fiasco) and I can then have a really good look round to decide...

Hi Ban and Willy, Have just been looking at a partially dismantled P6 and it looks like the switch and barrel is sealed into the whole unit, so that route is out. Your offer of a steering column is very very nice Willy. Which is easier though (!!!) removing the shear bolts and replacing the...

Hi Ban, Thanks for all your help, as soon as I get 'Ronnie' mobile and back home again the work will begin !:rolleyes: Ed

Just checked all the paperwork that came with the car and the 1985 MoT shows just over 10 thousand miles and there are references to either 15 or 20 years 'in storage'. So there's a good chance the mileage is genuine, although not verifiable. Interesting that in 2017 it had a new gear lever and...

Hi Nick, What a diamond you are! Yes please, that would be a great asset. How do we arrange a meet?

Hi guys, thanks for your input on this. I thought they might be the shear bolts mentioned by the other guys and was hoping they weren't! Am watching brand new Lucas switch and barrel on EBay. I'm hoping that, as they are available as spares, they are therefore replaceable and I won't need to...
