Re: Wanted MK3 Drivers Door
It's becoming a nightmare, I've been looking on eBay for 12 months now really. They're all really expensive, or on the south coast. So I've just got outbid by £3 because I've considered my max bid as £130 Inc fuel. I've asked 3 to wrap it and wait for a courier and all said no. Obviously if I could ...

Re: V6 Type 5 gearbox differences
So for future knowledge because I couldn't find it written on the net anywhere.. The input shaft on the 2.8 and the 3.0 are different, the 3.0 is about an inch longer. You cannot cut the extra off because the spines protrude too far, I know because I've tried it! As I have had to is strip both boxes...

Re: Steering rack
I've had this problem as i was too tight to buy a new rack. I was told a lot of old usually manual rack ends (Tie rods) could be tightened up, and yes they can. Works for the pas and manual racks. Just take the boot off and get some big grips and turn the knuckle, there a really tight. Good luck. BT...

Re: 2.0 Pinto EFI
Yes the original plastic pipe is not made to take the pressure.. Copper pipe can be bent nicely into place. You can use flexable braided or rubber hose (High pressure) if you wanted but i didnt like the idea! just looked a mess.Bukko89 wrote: Any reason for replacing the plastic fuel supply with copper??
