Re: SIMPLY FORD UPDATE
Hi neil Thanks for the advice "Nick, John and Mark, you would be better approaching using the M271", I will be coming regardless of the weather as mine is used daily anyway, I need to give her a good clean in the engine bay anyway so what the hell. As you say the road through lyndhurst is ...

Re: my fuel gauge has stopped working
Are you sure the fuel gauge is working, check with others on here but I am sure you can connect the 2 wires together to see if the gauge goes up, if it does then you have proven the gauge and the wiring works so it must be sender or the connections, if nothing happens when wires connected togetger t...

Re: Janspeed Exhausts
It is definitely loosening up a bit, tickover is nicer and also running cooler with janspeeds on, sounds great at about 2000 revs so pottering around in 2nd gear is great

Re: Janspeed Exhausts
Interesting as mine is 2 parts in centre and fitted perfect, mine doesn't hang quite right at the back but that is due to the brackets on the car, not the exhaust system. I thnk the system as a whole is very high quality and as you say it sounds great. My fuel useage, (not mpg) has gone up as I keep...

Re: 2.8 exhaust system with manifolds and kidney boxes

There service was excellent, you order from site on ebay and it comes up as paid even though you haven't and the guys call you to confirm the order and take your card details over th...

Re: Exhaust manifold
Definitely worth trying to clean up the bolts or if you have experience, change them and use new nuts, etc. I got mine from CCI. Gaskets between manifold and head a must or it will leak.

Just replaced my 2.8 exhaust for a janspeed so old system is available for a price of a couple tanks of, petrol. Manifolds, kidney boxes and exhausts, rear silencers are not identical.

Re: update to 2.8 exhaust -now fitted
The janspeeds are on and sound great. I know the whole system with the manifolds is a tad expensive but you cant fault the quality of the product and the way it fits together, all joints are a perfect match and connect together with the snuggest of fits, clamps of really good quality and the exhaust...
