Junkman Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 You should buy a Rover P6. A Rover P6 V8 burns a lot less petrol, since it's sitting around waiting for something to be fixed most of the time. what else are you supposed to do on a Sunday morning? In case you own a Rover P6 V8, fix it. In case you own a French car, sleep off your Saturday evening inebriation.

Junkman Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Right. One component came from Germany, one from Heathrow, two from Spain, one from Sweden.I'm exhausted. Sadly the R16 still isn't.Remember those stories about the East Germans, having to wait for 18 years to get a new car?Well, we will soon have to wait for 18 years to get an appointment at a garage.

It's always without exception a complete and utter disaster. The last one, laying in the snow with an angle grinder inches from my face because stupid rusted bolts still haunts me. It amazes me the exhaust can be literally falling to pieces but remain fused to the underside of the car. All of it happily rusts and flakes off bar the bits that bolt to other bits. Bastard.

vulgalour Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Can't you just trick Conrad into doing it? I mean, he insists on fixing P6s so he's clearly gullible enough.

Junkman Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 There is a new exhaust underneath the R16 now.This results in it being much quieter on the outside and much noisier on the inside. Sigmund Fraud, egg and Squire_Dawson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 You know your points are shit when there is nothing on one side and a crater on the other. You know your rotor button is shit when it's wearing thin. You know your dizzy cap is shit when there is almost no coal left. You know your HT leads are shit when they are made from this newfangled silicone shit.And you know when your ignition shit is shit, your entire car is shit. So I made a nice new set of new HT leads (only copper is proper), put in a new dizzy cap and rotor, a new point set and managed to get the firing order wrong twice.It's running a lot better now and I bet the guy next to me can hear it in his boom box. I'm now awaiting delivery of a new strobe light, so I can adjust the timing. Conrad D. Conelrad, RobT, Squire_Dawson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Today there has been some open heart surgery. It wasn't quite as involved as Mr Bo11ox's cambelt capers. Had I known that all but two exhaust valves were within tolerance, I'd not have done it.But a 80k km service is a 80k km service, isn't it?
