Re: Hi Spec Brakes
Glad you are pleased with your new brakes Nick. I went for Green stuff pads and I think it was a mistake as they are a little harder and take a while to warm up IMO. Standard pads probably operate better for day to day use. Just a note about the 23.8mm master cylinder, I think it can only be used wi...

Re: Simply Ford 2019
This was another great show put on by Beaulieu and the weather was kind to us. I didn't bother taking any photo's as most of the cars are the same every year. But someone caught me leaving unfortunately he must be more of an Escort and Sierra fan as he didn't catch much of me, but you can hear me :)...

Not bad considering I hadn't had a chance to polish it before the meet

Re: Haynes Breakfast Meets 2019
Thanks Andy and Andrew,
MOT booked for tomorrow. It's always a worrying time, but hopefully all should be okay. Looking forward to the Haynes meet so I'll be extra disappointed if the car fails.
All the best
Neil

Re: Battery cable clips. Help / pics required.
If I remember correctly the clip is solid around the wire hole and splits where it goes through the crossmember. I think the ones you've found would not hold the wire/cable securely.

Re: 2.8 rotor arm
I think the Granada 2.8 rotor arm didn't have a limiter fitted, however the 2.8 is a fragile motor and doesn't like being rev'd that highly. Best to stick with a standard one or end up with a big engine billrumone wrote:which one do i look for without the limiter on it?
