Re: Dr Brooklands

It's no more than an hour from me now as part of a collection. I like the idea of having a car collection, but who's got the time to maintain a fleet of classic Fords? Except Danny, obviously! :lol: Andrew. For the record, I definitely don't have enough time or money to maintain a fleet :lol: There...

Re: Laser + GL and now a 3.0S!

It's surprising how long these things can take. Interesting thread Danny, looking forward to more updates! It's a pain it's taking so long truth be told Was only expecting it to be gone for a couple of months, but as we all know - once you start chopping the rot you find more and more and you go al...

Definitely think that is part of it Went to look at a car for one of my cousins a few weeks back and got chatting to the dealer there who told me that 99% of people don't even come to view the car before buying it and he was surprised when we had asked to look at it, let alone drive it It seems to h...

Re: NGK Spark plugs

Surely lasting longer is a bit of a moot point- depending how often you change your plugs of course...

I think I do mine every year or worst case every other, but the Haynes says to do them every 6months!

Either way, I've never had one break

Just curious to others thoughts 🤔

Re: Laser + GL and now a 3.0S!

It's quite an eye-opener to see what is lurking under the surface! Still, it all looks good now. Presumably you are just having the repaired bits painted, not the whole car? Andrew. Quite concerning more than anything, i would never have known there was so much rust lurking underneath it all! Yes j...

Re: 1981 2.0 gl auto box oil pressure

Hello all, and thanks for the welcome. I am asking because the steel pipes to the rad have had it, ie rotten, and was wondering if reinforced rubber hydraulic hoses would do the job, with crimped end fittings.
