Speaking of things lighting up, this one randomly decided to start working today. https://i.ibb.co/MSCMrR8/IMG-20231102-164039.jpg It's not worked on either of the door switches until today. I like self-healing faults! Having a working heater blower though makes the car a lot more usable outside ju...

For the blower fault look at the fuse box first. The connectors can get hot and "relax", especially if 30mm fuses have been used instead of the correct 32mm. Otherwise the whole heater has to come out, which is a bit of a faff.

I just need to figure out a reliable way of stemming the high pressure jet of fuel that's going to want to escape as soon as I disconnect the inlet side of the pump. Going to investigate if I have any random fittings of the right type as just sticking a hose on there which extends above the height ...

MGBD parts of Wolverhampton do exchange calipers re-sleeved in stainless steel.

I must confess to not being too well up on the subject as my P6 is a 4-pot, I thought the correct tyre size for a V8 is 185/80 x 14.

I've had a smart meter for several years and it hasn't caused problems. I find it useful to keep a check on what's switched on and my supplier c...

Like others, I came to visit one day and the site was down. I tried for some time until I thought it had been closed and only thought to look for it again today. Glad it's back! Glad to see you found us :thumbs: When you get a pm along the lines of: "Hiya mate the PC site is working, I miss your in...

Are the door hinge pins adjustable as they are on the P6?

If you replace the indicator bulbs you should replace the flasher unit with one designed for LEDs, because the flashing rate is determined by the current drawn and the LED bulbs draw far less than the filament bulbs. Similarly, if you replace the warning lights, do not replace the charging warning l...
