:lol: Welcome to the club Andrew :wave: Thanks, Andy. It felt like it's been a long time coming and it feels great to be a member of the club. Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if the HMRC adjust my tax code to compensate for it! :lol: Andrew. As an extensive landowner you must already be on the hi...

I can't really recommend one, but I had loads of issues with a brand new Intermotor one, and as I researched it I discovered that others had issues with that make too. So I put the original Bosch one on and have had no issues since. So perhaps buy an original good one if you can. Checked the 3 I ha...

Fair enough, a technique I often use :xd: Sounds like a plan, good luck with it Danny. Just one thing, if the coil happened to be an Intermotor one, then they are known to be problematic. It was! Good to know Paul thanks - is there a decent one you'd recommend? I have a Lucas at the moment but the ...

For now I've decided to ignore it completely :lol: Fair enough, a technique I often use :xd: Sounds like a plan, good luck with it Danny. Just one thing, if the coil happened to be an Intermotor one, then they are known to be problematic. It was! Good to know Paul thanks - is there a decent one you...

I was about to book it in but Phil at Capri Care has thrown me - he has said that he has never hardened any valve seats on any car he runs and never had an issue so doesn't think it is a necessary job to do and more often than not reckons that worn camshaft is more likely culprit for valves constan...

I got a quote recently of £240+VAT from a company in MK to supply and fit the valve seats (all 4) - not including new valves if needed etc I was about to book it in but Phil at Capri Care has thrown me - he has said that he has never hardened any valve seats on any car he runs and never had an issue...

If you think that's the case your best bet is probably a rolling road set up - did mine a few years back and paid about 100quid for a couple of hours.
Set the timing again before he started, tuned the fuel and changed the jets and has run a treat ever since

Cheers

Good spot, Major! It looks like the sunroof repair is years old though. I'd guess that a previous owner may have had one of those universal glass pop-up sunroofs fitted when they were all the rage in the 70s and 80s. Maybe a subsequent owner had a repair to revert it to standard spec and the result...

But you never know, maybe just a budding entrepreneur trying to advertise their business

Either way, how tempting is it to click on that link though!

Immensely!!
I'll click it on the work PC rather than my own and report back

Exactly what I was going to say
Mine was the same as yours when I first got it, first thing I did was fit one of these

Yep, I think I`ve found it - I`ve got part No 8A554 E1AE-81A and the ports are labelled 1, D, 2 thread is tapered 16.7mm - 16.9mm (measured outside with vernier.

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...

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...

But did Ford actually make a Scrapri 2.0S

If they weren't already, the concourse judges will be all over him

Few great comments from today's birthday winner Major, definitely worth a look

If I remember correctly it was 29, no proper ...
