brian GT6.

I should have said, " I have an overdrive GT6 for which I have a spare diff." I will list on ebay.

I have a GT6 overdrive diff from my 1971 mk3. I got a reconditioned one from Jigsaw a few years ago and never sent mine back so paid the premium. Before it came out it was working, a little noisy and a bit leaky. I didn't need to recon it but did a full mechanical recondition including engine. If anyone wants it for 50 quid they can collect from shoeburyness in essex. Many thanks Brian

I work in Paris and have a house in brittany. In 30 years of driving to and within france i've never put a GB or Uk sticker on the car. I've never been stopped for not having one. I was stopped in Paris to have my Crit'air sticker checked and it was fine.

I think so. Mine has holes drilled in the sills and in other places. Ive since covered it inside and out with modern cavity wax, forgotten the brand, but it comes from Frosts in aerosols with tubes.

ened up getting two WAS0 blanks froom ebay and the local guy cut them. The keycode was for the door keys.

Thanks guys have tried key2code first off and if that doesn't work will try locals.

I need to get a second key cut, not least because the only key I have has a slight crack on it. There is a code WAS0 or WASO on the key itself. However there is also a dog tag with the code NH2207. Any suggestions on how to get the right blank for cutting? thanks

Mine was ziebarted from new and has no rust. It was kept in a garage all the time though.

thanks everyone, chris.b's suggestions look great. As to permission, taking a child, even a grown up one, always gets some brownie points.

So, I am doing a road trip in a couple of weeks with my daughter in the GT6. Going across the ferry from portsmouth to st malo then taking the back roads down to Bordeaux, camping. I've got the club peter james insurance which comes with european accident breakdown insurance. The question is what tools and spares should I bring? The car has had lots of mechanical work over the years, jigsaw engine, recon diff, cv joint conversion driveshafts, new brake cylinders, new calipers, new wishbones new dampers all round, electronic ignition distributor (supplied by jigsaw), in fact the only bit of the car that isn't new mechanically is the gearbox, which is fairly quiet. However, i've never driven it further than 100 miles before. It doesn't like getting hot in traffic on a hot day. Any advice appreciated. Looking for a reasonable list of things to take.

Spot on. Blew out the float valves and pumped a bit of petrol through and it stopped leaking. I think I need wing nuts on the float bowl screws.. Previously when I had needle valve problems the petrol came out of the front of the carb mouths. I had replaced the needle valves a couple of weeks ago after having the rubber slivers from changing the fuel hoses. I wonder if the new needle float valves were sticking.

So i've checked again. It's not coming from the link pipe but from somewhere in the choke mechanism or choke spindle. It floods out when the float chambers are full. I'll check again the needle vale but that normally causes petrol to come out the front of the carb.

Yes that's where it's coming from. I'll go and have another look

So came back in the gt6 smelling a bit of petrol. Lifted the bonnet when I got home and sure enough petrol dripping from the bottom of the air filter. No problem I thought must be sticking float needle valve I'll just whip the float chambers off. However, when I finished and restarted I saw petrol pouring from the front carb. However, not from the front of the carb as it does when the needle valve leaks but from the side of the carb, the side facing the rear carb. How comprehensive are the rebuild kits and any ideas of the leak? Half tempted to go for SUs or triple webers.

Ok, so knocking noise solved. Started her up and getting regular noise again , tiny bit worried it was a small end. Rocker cover off , no noise and tappets sound perfectly adjusted since I double checked them. Rocker cover back on with engine running , no noise. Tighten bolts slightly and no noise. Tighten middle bolt up to torque and noise starts. Can slightly feel a tap. So undo but half a turn and noise goes away. So it was the Rocker cover slightly contacting a tappet. Not hard enough to mark it though . Sorted!
