Thanks Phil, I can now report that I have a fully functioning freewhweel !! The only task that now remains is for me to get used to it ! The oil that came out of the box at first was not too bad, but after the first flush with Paraffin the stuff that drained out was pretty grotty. Maybe this is me m...

Thanks Phil, At last after the icy blasts we will all have felt, I'm finally going to have a go at the freewheel. Just a couple more questions if you don't mind. How long should I run the car for, firstly with the parrafin and then the oil in the gearbox ? does it need the freewheel to be engaged or...

Thanks once again for the replies. I did consider the quartz movement idea,frowned upon in some areas,but even this had its problems. Not only finding one that would suit,but how to hold the case of the clock to the face so that it could be mounted in the dash in the same way as standard. It is the ...

This is my latest plea for help,and this time concerns the electric impulse clock in my P2. When I bought ihe car the original clock appeared to be dead.Having taken it apart :o potentiall springs all over the place I know, but sometimes I can't resist - I found it would work for a few seconds when ...

Thanks again for taking the time to add replies. Time for me to do some pondering !! Regards, David.
