You can clean out the hub rings with a long thin screwdriver.It's a right PITA job but it cured one of mine a while ago.It's really a two man(or woman)job as someone needs to turn the wheel whilst you are laying underneath the car.The access is not good! If you have to remove the sensors,a good soak...

Ref.above manual.As they do a E28 and a E34 which is better for a highline which is E34 based?

Trying to contact Andrew Snowden from Peterborough.If he is a member or anybody knows him please PM me.Thanks.Ron.

Thanks Kev!!! I currntly have 3.Two highlines and a '79 633 convertible.Hopefully one highline will go soon (when I get the cam.cover etc.back from Dave I can swop the parts back over). In total I've had around 15 6s which I have either sold on or broken.It will be wonderful when I get my new garage...

As long as difference between front and back diameters is no more than 10% there shouldn't be a problem.Try cleaning the sensor rings(not easy).

Remove relay and give contacts a good squirt of contact cleaner then work the relay into the socket a few times.Normally cures it.It is worth doing this to all electrical connections throughout the car.It's amazing the difference.

Many years ago(oh alright in the 60s) I had an ex-Metropolitan police Wolsely 6/80.This had two boxes welded to the rear axle filled with concrete.It certainly improved the rear end.Here endeth the the lesson.

Check condition and tension of belt first.

Great job Brian.How about an electrical section?

Hi Dave, Welcome to the forum.I've got an'88 highline for sale.Need the drive space.161,000 tax and MOT.I've had it for a couple of years and done lots of bits and pieces to it.If interested PM me.Regds.Ron.

As Dave said love that metaphor,Iain. Time zones here in Wales sometimes seem to be measured in years not hours !!!

G'day blue, Thanks for the info.Must update my parts CD.Regds.Ron.

The reason I'm asking is that I've just stripped a spare reservoir and removed the filter prior to it going for zinc plating.Any joy on my parts yet? Later.Ron.

Has anyone ever changed the micronic filter in the bottom of the power steering reservoir? I can't find any reference to it in the various manuals that I've got and I can't find any part number for the reservoir on the parts CD.There is a picture of it on dia.no.34-0294 but it's reference only.Any h...

Unfortunately the tools are not electric (or heated) which is what I could do with in this weather!! Talking to Sharkfan yesterday,and he thought I should do the toolkit cover in leather as well.That could be a bit of a challenge but as the leather came for free I might have a go.

That's black leather (not paint).

You are obviously going to eat your dinner off them now!!!!!

Grey is too boring.

A few little ones

Hi Dave, Was that price correct?? Unable to find anywhere local to do mine.The only place I could find was unable to blast the items and could only powdercoat.Any possibility that I could send you a box with the bits in and you could get them done for me? Regds.Ron.

It came with the roof aerial.No indication of rear wing mounted one!

Having tried a variety of cleaners/reconditioners for leather I now tend to use Gliptone products.Their cleaner and conditioner works extremely well and the smell afterwards!!!!They also do a leather paint which I have used on grey,blue and light tan and it's very effective.Not sure what to use to t...

Thanks for that Dave.It's not quite immaculate as it looks.Sometime it's going to need front wings but I've got a new pair to fit (no repeater holes or holes for wheel-arch extensions) but they are easy enough to drill.I've just replaced the R/H side inner arch protector-all the bolts had to be grou...

Thanks for that Bob.Managed to sort the problem.After releasing the plugs on #1 and #2 injectors the cable loom lifted high enough to turn #1 injector slightly and the casting slid off the engine.A clean-up of the casting and hoses,new gasket and all is going back together.I just hope nothing leaks!...

Can anyone tell me how to get the injector harness off? Does it just pull off from the injector plugs? I'm trying to get the casting off that the thermostat housing bolts to and #1 injector fouls it so I can't pull the housing off.Help gratefully received.
