Here, did you know......? Even though I am restoring my car, have my own website about the restoration, I have never driven one! I have sat behind the wheel going BROOM BROOM! but that's my lot. Please, put the hankies away! ;)GlennR

Glen how far are you from actually finishing the car so you can drive It? If I stayed close I would give you a shot In mine-or If you ever visit Edinburgh......

Davie, you are a wee diamond. I am probably looking for another 18 months two years of restoration. Funding is always the drawback. ;)GlennR

You are (corrupted) = you're
Your = indicates possession

Sorry Davie, just been doing my lines and detention. I have a couple of owners here in Potton but the cars are off the road. I will probably make the effort to find someone in the summer. |

In response to TORSION BAR, driving a P5B on a cold, wet night, with 40yr old heating, ventilation and windscreen wiper technology does make you wonder why we bother. Then on a very hot mid-summers day, you miss the efficiency of a modern ventilation system to keep you and the passengers cool, but hey, thats part of the charm and attraction to classic motoring isn't it??  Neddy PS. My P5B is not neither a wreck nor old banger, everything works just as it should! |

???How can every thing be working as it should then on your car?
The P5 heating and ventilation arrangements are excellent. If the heater is not warm enough then something is wrong somewhere.
Have you read the handbook instructions as to ventilation - even without a rear screen heater there shoild be no problem in winter
