Re: Weird dashboard noise
Sounds like a loose speedo cable to me. Does your speedo bounce while driving or is it under reading the speed?

Do you use sat nav to get where your going Tom or the trusty map?

Re: could my idle hunting be due to a lack of back pressure?
you really need to get the co levels sorted while its warm, I used to set my 2.8 at around 1.3, the tiniest turn of the mixture screw can shoot the mixture up to 3.8 and you`d not notice until you start the car the next morning, sounds like yours is to weak by the way, the exhaust isn`t a problem a...

Re: brand new carb...how shit is this....
How does a carb get fucked up in such a short time? must be a manufactoring fault? Like Nige says, send it back for repair or replacement, I`d take the repair by the way...you get new parts and whatever the fault cause was would be engineered out.

Re: CD Player Wiring
1. Thinking of leaving the original Ford stereo connected, it works ok so I could also play tapes, and if I pass the car on one day, I could just unplug the new stereo and the old one will work as normal. So thought I would splice into the ignition live and earth and speaker wires for the new one, w...

Re: anyone done a jap engine conversion ??
depends which xr4i engine? if its a early 2.8 then yes no problems its the same as the capri 2.8 engine, if its the 2.9 then again yes but it`ll need mods to the engine bay for the MAF sensors. If you want to make it 4x4 then prepare yourself for a bit of work there, I considered it once then looked...

Re: anyone done a jap engine conversion ??
Well, that engine is actually a ford engine too, found in the cougar and found in the Jag x type and S type, the s type is RWD and used a getrag gearbox, so its possible to get it as RWD. Bet you`ll need the whole wiring loom stripping out though.
