    Eastern Creek - Some Brits

    When you speak of Classic Cars, surely the Brits need to have some say in the matter ? ............... Triumph TR5 and TR6 - the interior shot is of the TR5 - like that rim on the 6..Well, both are TR6s - not sure. Photobucket - running hot and bucking. More to come in due...

    Eastern Creek - More Americans No.1

    Some of the older, and perhaps not quite so glamorous Americans, are certainly worthwhile perusing. For instance, the following I found of great interest, possibly perhaps I have not really seen them previously..... Hudson Hornet - what an imposing limousine. Wonderful looking Chevy - how...

    More Eastern Creek 2010

    For the information of members, there are many more pictures taken on the day of the show. In all, I took eighty pictures, many covering (in my humble opinion) some lovely Italian rarities, and other unusuals and Classic Cars. Regards Styria...

    Eastern Creek - 2010

    There is no doubt that there were just so many beautiful, so many delightful, so many unusual cars on display - and I daresay that each and every owner has put just about all of their resources, and maybe knowledge, but certainly pride to each of their cars. I must admit that I just about get...

    Removal of Instrument and Switch Panel

    I don't know what the blue eyed, yellow faced 'thingy' stands for, but it looks appropriate for the thread which, in itself is characterized by the absolutely new and brilliant expression "Frustration Colossiale" (don't you guys agree ?), so appropriate for certain aspects of 116 ownership. Oh...

    6.9 front suspension not raising

    Hi Bill, I'm all for leaving well alone - in other words, if it ain't broke, don't bother to fix it. It could well be that driving the car for a few days may get the suspension to settle down and get rid of possible 'Air Locks', but I have some doubt. Generally, if the system is working well...

    Removal of Instrument and Switch Panel

    Hi all, one of the most tedious jobs on a 6.9 and most 116s relates to the removal of the above mentioned components, particularly the switch panel that incorporates the slider heater/fresh air controls and the rotary dials for the Air Con. and Fan. There are a number of issues to...

    6.9 front suspension not raising

    Hi Bill, I'll go along with your observation regarding Chris and Michelle - an absolutely delightful couple and I was indeed sorry to see them move away from Sydney. Naturally, I am glad that you were able to help and I am indeed grateful and appreciative of your action. Pretty frustrating to...

    6.9 front suspension not raising

    Hi Alabbasi, thanks for those photos. It's always interesting to see the inner and outer workings under the bonnet of a 6.9, and this car is no exception. I have to say that I am surprised, and perhaps disappointed, to see the state of the engine bay of this particular car. Yep, all those...

    6.9 front suspension not raising

    Hi Bill, thanks for taking 'ChrisP' under your wing - it is a pity that he moved to WA which means that I cannot advise him properly, and whilst he is no 'duffer' from a mechanical point of view, it does help to have some 'intimate' knowledge of the hydraulic system. I was perplexed when I...

    6.9 front suspension not raising

    Hi ChrisP, it's nice to see those pics of "Kaiser" Wilhelm - and him looking in such splendid condition. As you know, we have talked about a couple of matters in relation to the problem, but I was never aware that you had fitted another pump. New ? Second hand ? How good is it, and was it...

    6.9 front suspension not raising

    Hi Alabbasi, any chance of getting a pic or two of the automatic control servo ? I have heard so much about them, but know absolutely nothing. As far as jumping up and down on the bumpers, I'd never have the heart to do so - the Euro/Aussie bars are quite delicate and need therefore be treated...

    Black Or Silver - Which Do You Like Better?

    Okay, that's the standard charcoal or light grey........... ..and that's the black SEL69L has been talking about.. ...and then there is, of course, the experiment with body colour - unfortunately, ther are no alloy strips and that tends to take away from the possible attractiveness...

    New Tyres For Your Pride & Joy

    Well, I think it's been a good and useful discussion, and I am sure that there has to be a lesson well learned by each of us somewhere along the line. I myself will use Nankangs again as I have had no adverse experience either by way of lifting treads or any other defects. Regarding the harsh...
