Hi all, Been a while so decided to give a quick up date on some stuff I've been upto. So I decided a while ago to hunt some 205/50X15 tyres down for the 15" rims I'm running, not that there was anything wrong with the recomended 195/50X15's I had fitted, but having met a chap (sorry if you're r...

Hi Mark, I know it's not really what you asked. But the best mod I did to mine was the front Strut support across the engine. We have speed humps all round here, a LOT of them and the weight of the V6 it always felt wallowy (not sure if that's even a word) at the front when going over these. As soon...

Hey Andrew,

Just posted a few!!! Enjoy, cheers,

John...

Hi all, a little late out with this one, appologies. Still caring for the folks so very hard to get out n about as I used to do.... I did manage to get here for an hour or so though, so here we go. Lets kick off with the usual meet up at South Mimms.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5232660729...

See you there Tom....

I'll aim for 9'ish, to leave about 09:30..... If anyone else is coming to South Mimms, we'll be at the far end of the car park. Cheers,

John...

Hi Mark, Sorry, a bit late to the party on this one.... I had exactly the same problem with a Power steering rack from them, never returned to straight ahead as soon as it was fitted. We tried all sorts and it would not work, also the quality of the finish was very poor, it started with surface corr...

Nice one as ever Kris!!!

Anyone meeting up at South Mimms again for the usual Convoy in??? Cheers,

John...

Hi Tony, If you're on FaceBook, there is a chap on there called, Lee ST RS Osborne He does all sorts of headlinings, but he also does just the Sunroof cut in Grey for the Capri, about £50 I think it was earlier this year when I got one from him. Its amazing quality and match... I'm very happy with t...

Hey Peter, Just looking through our good friend, Clockwork Orange' wiring diagrams and I wonder if you gave fuse 7 a wiggle??? Could have been this looking at the diagram!!!???

Hey Tom, Happy you got this sorted. Do you put a drop of oil on the felt pad under the Rotor arm every now n then? I have done this on all my cars as this lubricates the mech advance bits n bobs / cam bearing.... Basically when checking the engine oil on the Dip Sick, whip off the Dissy cover and ro...

Hi Tom, Great pics and some great cars..... Is the 2nd one the Fiat Supermirafiori??? An uncle had the 131, but it wasn't quite as grown up as this!!! :xd: :xd: :xd: Also a Lada!!! Respect to that chap!!! Also love the 928, I can't quite see in the pic. Is it running on the Teledial wheels??? They l...

Hi all, Well, even after my last visit to Simply Ford and having been kept queuing for what seemed like hours, I said I would not go again. Last week end I found myself unexpectedly at a lose end on Sunday morning, so having just realised the night before this was on, I headed off down South!!! I go...

Hi Andrew.... Ouch!!!! :lol: :xd: :lol: :xd: Yep, I can't deny that... But I have been doing the Breakfast meets recently.... So I have got a few early starts under my belt now.... But in the old days leaving late, meant I could throw a bucket at the Cappa before I set off.... The breakfast meets it...

Come on Jason.

I'll meet up with you and Convoy up there!!! Cheers,

John...

Hi all, So my fan was gettin weak and the temp was rising, having changed the Thermostat and sender, I decided to get this swapped out, as when hot the old rolled up newspaper would stop the fan quite easily, instead of tearing it to sheads... So I ordered a new Viscous fan coupling up from CCI with...

Hi all, Well another weekend and another breakfast meet. Thankfully the Petrol Heads have this meet back on at Runnymede, after cancelling last Months thanks to idiots leaving like, well idiots!!! Plenty of footage on YouTube of these…. Anyway, enough of this, so a nice early start this morning and ...

Hey Jason,

Morning Andrew, Andy, Yep, it really was a cracker of a breakfast meet was this one. The good weather certainly brings some amazing cars out to play. I also noticed in my sleep deprived way, I called the Cortina a MKVI.... Doh!!! Well chuffed you enjoyed looking through them all. Cheers for now... J...
