  1. well it might be if it didn't have one before you put on in then i would think its being over heating before now. check the oil on the dip stick see if its creamy looking if so head gasket needs replacing if its black the oil then it would seem ok from a gasket point of view if I had this problem I would get radiator flush remove the thermostat then put the flush in reconnect the pipes etc. run it , it could also be heater matrix is blocked hence over heating due to water circulation not getting passed you can by-pass the matrix by simply take of both pipes join then together so that you bypass the matrix .
  2. Hi, could be the thermostat that`s stuck if its been sat for a long time chance are that`s it you could try flushing the system ( when cold ) with an hose pipe for my money i plum for the thermostat.
  3. You can try this: Robin hood kitcars identification (rhocar.org)
  4. Every thing is the same one out other in check clutch for ware before you put it in and then find out it don`t work done this about 500 times in my time as a ford mechanic many moons ago now.
  5. Mines a Landover Freelander TD4 , Then Robin Hood , Then a A1 Kawasaki 600R Ninja its 40 years old this year so becomes historic vehicle.

  10. 1984 mk3 ford escort 1100 (A163 LWW ) with fancy lights on the speedo If you were driving at normal acceleration they stayed off if you started putting your foot down they would change to amber if you really put your foot down it went to red as i recall i think the car was always ready for me the light was always red , changed clutch once then did a full engine rebuild (ford trained mechanic) as the timing chain started rubbing on the cover put an hole in it and oil used to drip out onto the exhaust manifold looked like the car was on 40 a day, great times.

Hi all I'm looking for a 4 into 1 exhaust for the pinto the type that drops down then sweeps out, They seem hard to get hold of , just wondered if someone had one laying about somewhere that they were happy to part with just dropped a pic so you know the idea of what I'm looking for. Thanks Dave.
