Hi, Good to see someone else with a sense of fun. Jean-Luc-Packard was the name my wife gave to our 34 when we got him back in 2008. He is now residing with my niece and nephew in Australia. Good luck with your project and hope you have as much fun as we did with our Jean-Luc

Hi Christopher,
I had exactly the same problems with my 34 super eight and it turned out to be the twin coils.

Hi Mal,
At the moment the answer is no. The car was picked up yesterday and was taken to Rainham docks in Essex. Ross may be able to tell you when Jean-Luc is due to arrive in Oz as he is in contact with the shippers. Please keep in touch.
Best regards
Terry

Hi Guys,
Sad day for me on 2 counts
1. My niece and her Aussie husband Ross are moving back to Oz.
Ross is a great guy and has always been there for me when we worked on the Packard. He has the typical Aussie laid back attitude to life and is great to work with.
2. My tenure as caretaker of my much loved Super8 has now come to an end. The car was always intended to be Ross's inheritance as he Loves Jean-Luc as much as I do.
He is going to a good home and much warmer climes and I know he will be well looked after. All of them will be sorely missed
I will not of course be leaving the site and would like to thank everybody for all their help over the years that you have given me and Ross.
Well Mal sorry I have not replied to PM as I only saw it today.
Yes, please can you update everything for me on the records and many thanks for taking Ross and Jean-Luc under your wing when they get to Oz. We had a good asbestos inspector and received the all clear so Jean-Luc has all his documentation
Once again thanks to everyone and keep up the good work on this wonderful site
Best regards
Terry

Hi Dave,
I was hoping it would be you that replied and as always you've come up with the goods. The information that you carry in your head about Packard's is amazing and lots of folks on this site are grateful for all your help, and may it long continue. Once again many thanks for your help
Best regards
Terry

Hi Guys,
I haven't posted for a while as the old girl has been running fine but braking has been a bit poor of late. Can the experts (such as O.D) give me some information on how to remove the brake drums. Do I need extractors for the back and front in order to remove them. I look forward to hearing back from some one
Many Thanks
Terry

Yes Dave it has been a long while, but the old girl is so reliable that I don't have anything to write about.
I always look at the Pinfo site to keep in touch with the world of Packards.
I always take the position of the engine as I am sitting in the cab, so yes it is on the exhaust manifold side of the engine. I will try your spark plug trick today.
Thanks Packardbarry I didn't think of that.
regards to all

Hi all,
Just recently when I start up my car there is a rattling noise coming, I think, from the right hand side of the engine.
After a while the noise disappears or if I stop the car and re-start it. It seems to happen when the car has been left not running for a few days. The oil pressure is good
Has anyone had experience of this and how do I fix it.
Looking forward to your replies.
Regards
T

Welcome back Mal. Lots of fun soon to be had with your new acquisition. Sounds like the radio could be a job for your old offsider Wade? I'm sure he would like to get his teeth into making it work again. Keep us informed with one of your blogs on the getting to know the new Packard.
All the best
T

Hi Tom,
I hope the pictures are there for you to see and are clear enough. Please contact if all is not well with them or you require more info.
Regards
Terry
