Re: Radiator

Paul. Rang a few places up. Best I could get was 120! For the sake of it a new one would probably be better so I'm going to go down the eBay route.. I seen one on auction last month go for 50 quid, knew I should have dropped a bid lol. :deadhorse:

Re: What is this on my air filter!

Thanks very much Paul, might look at changing it next year at some point. I'm guessing the 32/36 twin choke DGAV carb will produce more power? The car it's self runs absolutly spot on. Did a 350 mile drive home picking her up just over a month ago and starts on half a turn, Every time... which for a...

Re: What is this on my air filter!

Yeah. It had a 2.0 pinto dropped in around 10k ago supplied by Capri club. Its was a 1.6 they changed the gear box to 5 gear and engine to 2.0. Guess they didn't bother with the carb. Out of interest what carb should the 2.0 pinto be running?
