thanks for the reply! I have cleaned out the fuel system so thankfully no trace or smell of diesel. I'll replace plugs, points and condenser and see how i go from there! its really weird as it started on the button before....

Hi, Unfortunately I made the mistake of popping to a dubious local garage to get a couple of litres of super unleaded to pop into my car so I could move it to my other garage and then the trouble starts. My car always started straight away and was running really well. However after putting the...

Hi, I'm having to clear space in a garage and have decided I can't keep hoarding stuff so having a bit of a clear out. I bought these wheels on a whim a couple of years ago but have decided I am fitting my set of Avon Safety wheels to my series 1 and these are up for sale. I am looking to recoup...

sorry to admit it but I only used burr walnut effect fablon on the door trims! to be honest didn't expect much when I tried it but it looks ok to be fair!

it's great to see the P6 surviving. This looks like the one in a scrapyard in Newport which I had the interior out of it, also I have the missing number plate up in my garage! I made one good interior out of the 2 I had in the end, came out pretty nice in the end..

the pictures in 2010 was when my dad owned it. it looked good in the pictures but up close all the doors were bad, the interior wasn't to good etc. it was then left out in the open for about 6 years and unfortunately the elements took their toll on it. my wife bought it from him for me as I had...

I have been working on this for a few years on and off. It has been alot of hard work and a massive learning curve but enjoyable most of the time. I haven't finished yet but it starts on the button so thats good. All work carried out by myself including recolouring the interior from red/ grey to...

Thanks for the replies. I will see what he comes up with but judging by the bowls, pens etc etc he has made it should be good. He does this as a hobby but he is better than he gives himself credit for!

Hi, does anyone knob the thread for the gearknob? manual and auto, my mate is a wood Turner is looking to make gearknobs so is doing one for me as practice but we need to buy the correct insert.. any help appreciated.

Hi That's great I will try that tonight and see what it feels/ ends up like. Nothing is easy with a P6.

Hi got the hub and drive shaft in the vice. Following the book I have tightened the hub nut until it takes a pull of around 4.5kg for the hub to start rotating. as I haven't had to crush the spacer does this sound about right or should it be more as I read that you need a big bar etc, I am...

Hi, I think it was down to a garage carrying out work on the rear brakes for my dad years ago. it was pushed down to my garage about 5 years ago. So even though it doesn't need any bearings replacing and therefore a spacer, I set the preload using a spring balance whilst held in a vice. Is a...

Hi, Thanks for the reply, so it looks like I am going to have to take the hub off the car then? Seems pretty involved just to tighten up a loose nut I must admit..

older thread i know but I used Furniture Clinic products to recolour my interior made up from parts of a grey and red interior. I'm happy with the results. Hoping to finish the car this year!

Hi Having taken on a 66 2000 from my dad I have been going through the rear end and have found that what I would class as the rear hub nuts are loose. Normally on the aircooled VW's I am used to working on I would tighten them up to a specified torque. However what is this for a P6? I cannot...

Sounds good!

Hi Surprisingly the seats weren't all that great to be honest. Front seats were incredibly dry and the passenger base unfortunately just split open. He stitching on the flutes has also rotted. I am going to make the best out of the two interiors I have and recolour them dark red. Did get a nice...

That's great to hear. It really deserved to be saved.
