It's too difficult to shut the tailgate on a mk3 with a semi erect tent in the boot! (There were witnesses)

Re: Change the condenser?
or spend £100 on an Aldon Ignitor Kit from Burton and never worry about points or condensers again. More MPG, better idle and yet it hides inside original dizzy. What's not to like? IMHO of course.

Re: Full Quad Light Conversion
What a tidy and cool upgrade Nick. Deffo worthwhile and the wiring looks very professional.
I usually fit Nightbreakers to my daily's as they are for sure better than std. Worth the money IMHO.

Re: Can anyone recommend material for steering wheel re-cover?
Turbo Mike from this very page did my RS Wheel to the most proffesional standard I've seen in years! It's only a hobby to him but boy o boy does he do it well. Did my door cards too, all in genuine Ford Leather. Top job, Top bloke.
