Whereabouts are you?

Wasting your time TBH. I've emailed and haven't had a reply.

As long as:

Its not wet
There's no white lines
There's no manhole covers
There's no diesel on the roads
There's no bends.

Hi Bug all I can say is every one I have spoke to confirm that brookys are slower, mike Weight is the same, power is the same, wheels are the same rolling radius, all gear ratios are the same. So pray tell, how are they going to be slower? Here's a hint, they're not. Its all in the heads of people....

Tires are legal with good tread and I wasnt going that fast. Now going to get it home to my garage and spend the time on her returning her to a fantastic looking car but with a better paint job. Personally I'd start with taking off the cheapass noname tyres and sticking some decent ones on. I once ...

Yes. BTW, Kent cams aren't everything.

Whereabouts are you?

Shame you're in Devon unless you're willing to travel up north.

Wanted complete sunroof lining with the clips and everything as there's nowt there on the underside of mine at the moment. Cream vinyl, not grey although if that's all you've got, I'm not adverse to rattle canning it cream.

Anyone got one?

You should be able to get one for that. Forget the mileage. Most are unlikely to still have the original speedo in. Mine is on 174,000 miles and drives better than one I had that I restored which was less than half that before I started on it. I'd go so far as to say that apart from the one I spent ...

Can't be more expensive than having to fit and paint new wings every couple of years.

If it's an automatic black 2.8i Special and B266...., its my old one.

I take it you didn't read my post two above yours.

Clean up the spade connector that the red wire that comes out the fusebox goes onto as well as checking the fuse it also uses.

Just do not know what to do next and where to turn? Scared of doing a long distant journey (say a whole 20 Miles!) as i don't know what will happen. What else can i do? Someone said it could be the Oil Pump - does anyone agree? What else can i get checked out. We are now expecting a little one in a...

I've got the Autocar review of the MK2 1.6GT and they reckoned it was pointless going over 5500rpm as the car stopped pulling. That's correct. Once you go over 5500RPM on the stock camshaft, the power tails off so all you're doing is turning fuel to smoke. As ever, knowing what the powerband of the...

anyone tried it? ive just done my oil cap , cant decide if i like it or not but i only did it to see how difficult it would be. Wife does it although there's not much call for wrapping around here. Dunno if its any use to you Tony but she works for Classic Signs, 52 Cardigan Rd, 673131. If you need...

Sounds like a plan if its sunny. I'd go in the Capri but currently its sat out in the rain with one wing tip in primer waiting for the sun to come out long enough for me to get some colour on it.

and thats real four star....... its not just about lubricating the valve seats....... its how it burns...... FACT....... if everyone ran there car on four star fuel as blended before all the political bullshit was added EVERYONE would see a gain in power..... Err, no. 4* was rated at 98RON. Unleade...
