Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70

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. You must have non-standard wheels, so 80 profile tyres are giving an increased rolling radius and are making the speedometer read low. What about 70 profiles? The exce...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70

Those HIF carbs seem particularly prone to flooding, I experienced the same problem on my 2200SC and on a Princess 2200 I used to own. You might as well do the full overhaul, it's not that expensive and together with a decent quality in-line fuel filter should cure the problem permanently.

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70

The clock was used to switch off-peak tariffs for storage radiators etc. Good piece of kit, it has a spring reserve so it keeps in time if the mains fails. 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...

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?

Re: Led bulbs

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...

Re: Is this forum still of use?

I think it would be very useful if you could email the registered users. Do you have the means to send out an email that large? A minor point - I had bookmarked the site but my bookmark didn't work until I had inserted a hyphen between Practically and Classics. Will this affect others or is it just ...

Re: Is this forum still of use?

Thanks for waking it up again Terry. I've missed it, but I don't think we two surviving admins knew how to resurrect it. Is there any way we can drum up some support, by Facebook for example?

Re: What are petrol prices doing with you?

Filled up with Super at Tesco at £1.83 per litre, regular is £1.74 (at time of writing) Doesn't seem to have affected the amount of traffic though.
