  2. I know I'm repeating myself but ......................... Welcome to you all, I'm sure you'll find something useful within the club. Ask those questions and we'll help if we can. Hopefully see you at some of the shows or meets. Steve
  3. Today
  4. Sorry for the late posting of the January figures, I have been on a cruise so didn't have my laptop (hard life being retired ) It actually turned out to be our best month for some time. As usual we lost a few (8 to be exact) members, but I was really pleased to see we gained a record 10 new members. As usual, here are their Forum Usernames, location and their Area Sec. Mark Haughton Luton Me Craig White Leeds Grim james Barnett Fenton Andi David Amos Edinburgh (Vacant) peter_m7uk Hove nelmo Dave Yarwell Me Peter Steele Lanark (Vacant) Sue Birmingham richyb66 Paul Spicer Bennfleet nelmo Ray Sinclair Glasgow (Vacant) So welcome to all Al
  5. Yesterday
  6. I want to push this topic I'm still searching for a replacement damper. Dave did some replacements but this won't work because or our german TÜV So i need old damper
  7. Hi all, looking for a good tuner with Dyno for my GBS Zero with Zetec. Using AT Power throttle bodies and Emerald ECU Based in Herefordshire. Any recommendations.,willing to travel a bit for good job. many thanks Jeremy
  8. Bob you were right there was a slight dent on the sump and it was hitting on the inside started the car and put in my hand on the sump could feel it instantly but also noticed had a crack In the oil pump so changed it while I was in there
  9. "As long as the french don't win" we say here in New Zealand. Was some cracker games, Eng vs Fra for example. New Zealand rugby is not look very strong currently so interesting times ahead. Do you suspect my oil pressure is a tad on the high side?
  10. I would have thought that 10psi would be far too low?
  11. Pintos were notorious for bad camshaft wear. Remove the cam cover and check the valve clearances. Try to isolate exactly where the noise is coming from, the "stethoscope" is a useful tool.
  12. You'll find it on the right hand side of the type 9 gearbox as well, right about where the gear lever is on the rear extension casing. Steve
  13. It’s on the side of the gearbox (assuming you have the MT75 Box). You need to look from underneath to see it. it has a very small connector with 2 small wires. I have had to repair mine twice (in 10 years )
  14. I can't seem to find the reversing light switch on my super spec can anyone help me locate it?
  15. Sorry should have said in the original.. I've replaced the water pump and there was no thermostat in it so put one in with a 2mm drilled hole..
  16. Looks very good - my blacktop Zetec is like that at idle and I always thought the Pinto's were supposed to be lower? As an England fan, damn right - I was worried about the wooden spoon for us before the start. Beating Ireland was miraculous! Really good competition this year - so many unexpected results (except for Ireland, of course)...looking forward to the Autumn Internationals because I'd imagine we'll get hammered by the SH teams - but need to play those games to improve... I'd be interested to know what you guys thought of the 6N - some of the Welsh play, for example, was downright embarrasing last weekend
  17. 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.
  18. I think for any boat anchor that's a good result, in fact any reading above about 10 at idle is good, back in the day as long as the wasn't on & there was plenty of oil in it that was all that mattered.
  19. Hi all My S3a lights to get hot quickly and over heats. It has an electric fan that is operated by a switch on the dash. I'm thinking about replacing the rad as the car had been sat for a number of years before I got it sorted. The core has cool spots when the car is up to temp. So one question is what one should I get to there isn't a lot of space.. It has no header, expansion tank or overflow bottle. I'm looking at putting an overflow bottle in but reading a few threads on here I'm wondering if some of my issues could be air locks as the rad cap is lower than some or the water system.. it has a heater which I'm looking at taking out at some point and the Weber carb that uses the water to operate the choke. Do I need to look at putting in a header tank up high? Any suggestions on this setup?
  20. Thanks for all the replys guys! Thanks from New Zealand! Here is my oil pressure on the 205 at steady idle. Would you say this is in the good range? Everyone happy with 6 nations result?
  21. Last week
  22. First your problem is probably not having a damped guage rather than the sender. As you drive the fuel sloshes about and a fast acting guage jumps all over the place as the float moves with the waves. The sender to me looks like a modified sierra sender. The sierra one has a 3 pin socket and an earth tag, this appears to have been replaced with a single connection. The 3 connections were 2 variable connections 1 to the guage and the other to the optional MPG computer fitted to top spec cars, the 3rd contact was a simple on/off to a low fuel light. Robin Hood fuel tank is rectangular stainless and fitted across the back of the car and could hold just about 30 liters not all useable as he flat bottom leaves several liters sloshing round after the pickup sucks air. Also the sierra unmodified filler neck sticks quite a way into the tank and if no provision for the air getting out has been provided this prevents the tank beeing fiilled to the brim. The second pipe is intended as a fuel return not a vent. I hope that this helps.
  23. Afternoon all, Very close to being back to fully working after months of rewiring. My 2x last electrical gremlins are Rev counter not working (i think my new gauge is faulty, but may need further assistance if not) But the biggest issue is my fuel gauge is like a wind sock, it's never steady on any reading, ive taken it out and cleaned it up and reset the contact arm, but made sod all difference, installed a new fuel gauge as thought it was that. Now i think it's the actual sender unit. Can any advise what sender this is, as cannot see any part numbers on it, i believe it's a Robin Hood stainless fuel tank as it's pretty small Thanks all
  24. ok thanks i will take a look probably i will call to speak directl - the car is complete and working and running (need some IVA things) i have fotos but they are too big for the forum the shop must do all the IVA work because im not in the UK for the moment.
  25. Hi lindzie Did you find a replacement radiator? If so where from ? Graham
  26. Pull the HT leads one at a time - if the knocking stops, you know its the engine and which cylinder.
  27. Ha! Shows me to be wrong again - there was a quick fix
  28. Dodgy plug to the motor bit of wiggling came back again a big relief !
