final update - it opens all the way! just a bit tight at first but WD40 - what great stuff it is!

Update - Well - I gave it a good dose of WD40 this AM and tried 'working' it. I rekon I got it open about a foot which is progress. Have left it to soak a little and will give it a go when I get home. I THINK its only one hinge thats jammed - thats the way it feels anyway....... Ive only one...

thanks guys - I havent tried forcing anything - I know just how well 'just a bit more - just a bit more - just a bit *SNAP*' goes :) I don't THINK antyhing is jamming it - its almost as though one element of the compound hinges isnt working - ie - the hinges work but the scissor action bit (I...

strange one this - went to open the bonnet - which in fairness hasnt been up for a bit and though the front releases ok i cant raise it more than about 8 inches! It seems as though the hinges are stuck? I havent tried forcing it - i decided to withdraw and seek advice! Tomorrow I am going to...

Unbelievable. I searched for 6 months for a reasonably priced and intact front Y exhaust section before snapping one up on Ebay. I needed it because my current front section was a bit rotten and it was not only irritating me but would fail its MOT. I had it delivered a while back and left it...

My god - my thread lives still! I just wanted to report my shame that, even though H was kind enough to accomodate me with a full PAS set up at a very reasonable price I STILL havent fitted it! Its sat (albeit safely) still in my garage and if I am honest it still wont be fitted this side of...

stuck choke? knackered coil?

I havent - but i could always get some - what are you after?

Granted my car is really designed for a soft flutter from the tailpipes as opposed to a growl but my exhaust is blowing, i need a replacement and the RV8 is perhaps one of the best sounding engines with the right pipes on. What to do then? do i keep my car standard? do i go for something a bit...

awesome! worked like a charm - no more overheating!

ah brill. thanks for that. ill do as suggested and continue as long as brown gunk comes out. if it starts looking shiny and silver i might stop and have a think :)

My poor old P6 has been sick recently but were on the home stretch! All that remains is to fix the anti airlock mechanism on the top of the inlet manifold that sits between the 2 Su carbs. As i understand it, this nipple has a hose attached that goes into the rad bypassing the stat and it of...

Power steering. ok - its time to bite the bullet and get it done - not least becuase my steering is soooo loose it was an mot failiure at one gge and i had to get it motd again with a sympathetic tester for a pass :) Its a 3500s with the normal box and id like to convert it to PAS. is there an...

cheers guys - that all makes sense! either of you know where to get a blanking plate from?

can anyone help lots of qs to follow! ive bought a facet pump to fit to my 3500s to (hopefully) cure a long standing high rev misfire / apparent fuel related problem. in the absence of anyone knowing where to buy a repair kit for my mechanical fuel pump, and also because it might not be just...

Thanks for the tips guys - I can understand the principle behind the seats - from what you are saying I dont think its worth messing around and its going to be easier to get them out and see what I can do. ive offcuts of various materials - it may be worth lashing something up outside the car to...

Hi, Im not sure its that - before i get in, to keep em upright for at least some of the journey, i reach in and put all my weight on the lever and force it down. surely it cant take more pressure than that??

Hi, Ive recently entered into the world of P6 ownership with a lovely mustard 3500S but its got one big niggle! the driver and passenger seats are tipped forward/back using a lever to the side of the seats but even when this is hard down the seats will still flop around! Ive no idea how the...
