Thanks a lot Jason, I think I have a version of that one, I'll have to check as there have been a few editions/revisions.

bleeding the brakes or changing the fluid is admittedly something I've never done on my 10yrs of ownership - the brakes have always been fine so I've left well enough alone! Hi Danny, there is an excellent walkthrough for this, from this site's creator, well worth a look - http://www.fordcaprilaser...

I'm interested to know Jason, which manual is this which that page is from?

They often have flyovers at the rallies/shows, but this one was incredible as it had the golden three - Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane. Truly breathtaking to see. They circled several times before they went off to another site. https://i.postimg.cc/ZqMPT1yH/Flyover.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rpmC28...

What's the betting that after reading it at least a dozen people have messaged him with 'what's the best price mate?' Very tempting isn't it!

They seem that poor at taking out the scam/spam listings Paul, swear words getting through shouldn't be so surprising!

Hehe, that is an unusual listing, Mate!

Just wondering if anyone has an inner tailgate wiper cover/trim for sale. I do know that the Club do new ones of these. Thanks!

Old school is the best school for sure Tom. I just get my points/condenser from the local motorfactor, seem fine, no issues. I can find out what make they are if you like though from experience most motorfactors seem to use the same supplier/stockists.

Well, not sure why but the last few issues have arrived nice and early in the month, better than ever, which is great obvously. Just thought I'd mention it. Although they don't use forums as such, from speaking to the gals at the Club I'm quite sure that they have seen/watched this thread, so whatev...

Really glad that you are sorted Danny, and thanks for the info. You should be very pleased that you disgnosed the fault very early on.

Yep, earthed directly to the battery! As an experiment why not do the same with the live wire, run direct from battery, the clock then has to work (unless it's faulty). And if you are able to leave the existing wiring in place as you do this, then all of the other fuse one items on the same circuit...

All sounds very wierd! I'm sure you did Danny, but just checking that you kept an earth to the clock when you tested it with the new live wire. Not sure if this applies now, but if you found that the new wire test did work, you could have connected a new permanent wire to the fusebox/one, passed it ...

Great shout Paul, wouldn't have thought of that! By the same train of thought, if the fuseboard is unplugged, will the spade connector that connects to it still have power direct from the battery to test whether the issue is somewhere with the board? Thanks Danny The battery feeds the fuseboard Dan...

When it is not working Danny, you could attach a temporary wire to the fuse box/one, and link it, just through the window or whatever to the clock. If you find that the clock then works but the radio etc. doesn't, then this would show the existing wiring to be the fault, as Paul suggests.

Andrew, you should check your private messages, there will be something of interest to you regarding your seal issue.

Hehe, I could see what was coming as I was moving down the vague answers. You're right Nick, very funny.

Exactly and as such I am always very conscious of how time, and indeed money is spent, I don't think any of my customers would appreciate me taking time to try to make a seal Thank you Martin. And as a satisfied customer of yours myself, spending as much time as you like, doing whatever you like, i...

the original poster, is relying heavily on somebody providing accurate information for the seal sizes. Should the person providing the information not be as fastidious as I'm certain Andrew is, the incorrectly sized seal may leak fuel. In the best case scenario, he'll have to spend more time and us...

It's different for you Martin, as this is our hobby, not a business. Time is money for you, but it is pleasure and satisfaction for us.
