CCI Show, Evesham 08/05/22

I shall be attending this show but no longer have facilities for card payments so sales will be cash only.
I shall be taking a selection of new and used items but unless large items, especially panels are pre ordered I won't be taking them.
Please message me with any requests,thanks, Martin.

If somebody could bottle the smell of Castrol R that would take you right back to the seventies.

Re: Replacement Door seals advice

I tend to use MK1/MK2 Escort seals now especially of the cars with the thicker cards. The seals are not mitred but they are slightly thinner so you don't have to slam the doors . I usually find that the CCI ones work on cars with the thinner cards although I always put some holes in the rubber so th...

Re: Bangers and cash Vs Car SOS

What car was featured on the show this time? Where does Bangers and Cash fit into this? Sorry, but I'm confused.... Andrew. The second paragraph should read Tonights Bangers and Cash that should make more sense to you :) Think it's repeated tonight at 9.00 on Yesterday channel. Copied from the web;...

Re: Heater Box Removal

I can tell you that you certainly don't remove the console, steering wheel or the stalks in order to take out the heater. I've done hundreds of them and only once did I disturb the console and that was on a 2.8i that had been fitted with a massive air conditioning unit.

Re: 1980 Ford Capri L 1.6

Hoping to make a start on recommissioning the engine this weekend, it does run as it is but given it’s been sat up since 2005. I’m just going to give it a proper service then see how she’s really running to gauge how good the 1.6 engine still is. Planning to change the oil, oil filter, spark plugs,...
