Hi all

Just fitted Pilot25 with a fresh set of rubber shoes.

Pirelli P600 for the back and P6000 for the front or is that the other way around :?:

Anyhow, they are a great tyre and they seem to hold the road much better than the "no brand name" tyre I had on before.

All in it was £350 which was not to bad I suppose seeing as the rear wheel size of 235 is hard to get.

New brake discs should be arriving next week from Martin and then I can replace my brake lines with the stainless ones I bought at Eurofest and I should have much better stopping power.

I'm changing my slave clutch cylinder.
On the old one it seems that the sealing washer between the clutchline and slave are made of copper. But the replacement I got is plastic.

Can someone please explain this? Have I gotten the wrong part? Or has my car had the wrong part on to begin with? (Perhaps that is why my clutch has been terribly stiff!)

How does one go about removing the screws which fasten the side skirts.
The rusty screws are impossible to loosen since they seem to - over time - have welded themselves to the body rivnuts (aluminium?)

I guess the procedure would be to drill them out, but then again, how do you install new rivnuts in the body? Do I need a special tool?

Does the club or perhaps Dave Howarth have a stock PRV-V6 for sale?

hi all

Hi all,

just thought I'd share this one with you to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

My new fuel tank sender was showing that I was allegedly running on empty today, so at lunchtime I squeezed £37 in the tank. The gauge still didnt read full though, this time telling me I had just over 3/4 of a tank *sigh* :roll: (possible replacement for new sender hopefully in pipeline btw...)

Anyway, having paid for the 'motion lotion', as I walked back to the car, I could see liquid dripping from under front of car (air con inop so I know its not that). As crawling under the front of the car on a busy petrol forecourt was not an option, I drove back to work. I had a good look under the car there, and couldnt see anything dripping which I thought was abit odd.

When I got back to the car tonight, the smell of petrol was very strong but it did seem to ease off after a few miles. My worry of course, is with the possibility of a fuel leak combined with Flopsy throwing flames out of her exhaust at every opportunity.......

My immediate thought was that maybe the fuel pump boot was loose, but I have had it suggested to me this evening that the leak could actually be from the new sender itself - has anyone else had this problem or have any other suggestions?

I haven't got time to have a look at it tonight, but at least my Cav's been fixed today so I can go back to using that for work and have a rummage under Flopsy's bonnet in the relative cool of my garage tomorrow night.

Cheers,

Claire

Hi have just removed my Binnacle to get it (along with the dash) recovered. Whilst in there I thought it would be a good time to replace all the bulbs with LED's. I had allready done the doors and A/C panel.
The five for the illumination whent fine and look really nice with the blue tint :wink:
However I cant seem to get any others (warning Lights) to work. I have tried the LED's all ok and tried reversing them, I understand they are polarity sensitive. So what am I doing wrong :?:
Thanks Group, C some of you Wednesday at Harpenden

Hi all

I have removed my old front speakers and have ordered a set from DMCL, I just wanted to know if anyone else has replaced their speakers with these ones and what do they think of them??

My rear speakers just about work but I have the fader all the way to the front so the front ones do most of the work. Dont fancy replacing them at any stage!!
