Six-cylinder Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 I don't know what's the matter with your Cadillac's cable,but a company in the U.S. called Bushing Fix are selling a selector cable repair kit for $25.www.bushingfix.com My mobile mech is coming over on Monday to see if we can find a solution to this. The original problem was the bush that connected the gear selector lever on the gearbox to the selector cable was worn and not moving the lever far enough. Now we have also broken the plastic retaining clip that holds the cable onto the lever.

Six-cylinder Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 2015 Purchases Part 1 2000 Citroen C15D van. More of a pet than a workhorse. Still with us 1987 Citroen Visa 17RD. Why did I buy this when I all ready has a Visa 17RD, answer because I could see it every time I drove around the Buckingham ring road! Still with us. 1989 2CV Dolly. Mrs6C started us early one Saturday by her need to prepare stuff for the AGM of an Orchard Group she belongs to so I has a quick 7 am look at ebay. I noticed a 2CV that I liked the look of so sent messages but still no response at 9.30 am so I called, I was first to ask to see it but he would not be home until 6.30 pm so that gave Mrs Cyl the chance to come with me. Interesting seller with a MG Maestro Turbo, Morris Marina 1.8 saloon and the 2 CV had been replaced with a Nissan Figaro. The transaction for the 2CV was strange pleasant and interesting with us acting out a scene from “Wheeler Dealers”, I made an offer he rejected it and made a speech about how well priced the car was and how much interest he had in it and suggested a price he would not go below. So I went to agree to that and he said that not how it is done and I should make another offer a little higher than my 1st so I did, he rejected that but came back with a counter offer £50 lower than his lowest price and we did the big handshake. This seller was very pleasant and fun to deal with, gave us all the time we needed to look over the 2CV, honored nobody could see it until we had decided and then gave us a Haynes manual, Restoration book and a few spares after the deal was done. Still with us 1993 Mercedes 500 SEC. A call from my brother to say a friend of his was going to p/x the car and did I want it for the low price he had been offered. 2001 Alfa 156 2.5 V6 Sportswagon Veloce. From this forum and has been a great success, a car that both Mrs6C and I often want to drive at the same time! Still with us. Burnside, RobT, Cardinal Wolseley and 8 others 11
Bfg Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 .Excellent topic ..so I'm posting just to make sure topic updates come up under my own 'my contents' page. I do enjoy both your and Mrs6C posts - they are U-rated and colourful, upbeat and motivating - Thank you. I particularly enjoy reading the tales and experiences with the older vehicles like your Triumphs, as I had Spitfires and a Herald sometime back when Maggie-T was PM. And then restored TR's some ten years later. But, might I enquire - How did you manage to adjust your clock go slower than anyone elses ? I only ask because you seem to do so much more than most could possibly fit in.! Bfg LightBulbFun, Mrs6C and DeeJay 3

Six-cylinder Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 2015 Purchases Part 2 1999 E46 BMW 328i 4 door manual. Bought with a short MOT with the view to taking the engine for my E36 328i with a failed HG but turns out to be the wrong engine and to much work to change the wiring etc. Turns out the rear suspension was trying to pull out of the body so I drove it for a bit and sold it off for parts to get my money back. 1985 Citroen CX2500 I/E Pallas Auto. Spotted in the Citroen club mag and Mrs6C said we need to go and see it. Just as described a 67k miles, owned for 400 miles CX with some lacquer peel ready to use so we had to take it. 1983 Citroen Visa Special 652cc. I was talking to the Headmaster from the Visa Forum about buying a Visa Twin that was for sale and told him that it was the one I wanted with an updated front with satellite dash controls and he told me there were only 3 left in the UK so I thought I had better attempt to buy it. The car was described as in good condition but no MOT so I called and was told it would go straight though. I said why don’t you get it MOTed then and I will buy it. The seller told me he did not want to pay for insurance to take it for MOT so I suggested he got a local garage to collect and deliver. He had it collected and it passed so I bought it! Still with us. 1997 E36 BMW 328i manual Convertible. Another end of life car bought to rob the engine, this time it was the right engine and works very nicely in my 328i coupe. 1992 Range Rover 3.9 EFi Vogue SE. Owned for a number of years by a friend but was going to require some welding in the future so he sold it to me. When it was not mine I had taken it for MOT and the fuel pump failed and dumped me requiring the RAC! I sold it to a friend still with 6 months MOT and he did not fancy doing the work and passed it on to a mutual friend who did the work to get it MOTed and is currently having it painted.

Six-cylinder Posted February 5, 2019 Author Posted February 5, 2019 ... and how long was its stay with you? Aug 2015 to Oct 2017. On the road most of that time, about 3,000 miles including a classic car tour in Wales. Remember I still have the 1983 CX 2400 I/E Pallas Auto and I have asked a mobile mech when the weather warms up to help me get the throttle cable off to get it remade and sort the major LHM leek from the rear.

Six-cylinder Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 A little success today, the bush on the gear selector is the right one and fits. The car now starts because the lever on the gearbox is moved the correct amount to clear the inhibitor switch. Booked for MOT tomorrow......... Burnside, richardmorris, brandersnatch and 12 others 15
