Guys I know this has been spoken about lots of times and I have the usual chassis stress/cracking places on the front that seem so widely known about but what concerns me if it's cracking where I CAN see it where is it cracking where I CANT !!!!
Has anyone come across any other places where the mono splits??
I can easily weld some plates /strengthen the chassis if I know where to look ?

Hi tracking is as near to dead straight as you can. 0 deg toe in /out
-
I'm east London but with a little notice I'd be up for a Kent drive out.
-
On suspension set-ups you never fit a rear roll bar if no front fitted !!
-
Glad to help. That's what this clubs here for !!!
-
Ok having read your other post I think it's time to go basics !!
Do you have a standard carb and manifold to try.
Also have you took the tops off the carbs and checked that the needle still has the circlip on it cos your post sounds like your running lean on one cylinder hence the AFR on your wide band has gone from 12s to 14.
You say the slides are all moving but not that the needle is moving with it
-
Are you using the original 2.0 flywheel. Cos I'm using the starter from a 1.8 cvh and it works like a dream
-
Ok what engine you running. Pinto / zetec ?? Also what way are your hoses routed ??
-
Hi in people's option what's a better tyre the yoko parada or the AD08R
-
It's worth calling GBS as they still do lots of bits for the Robinhood I'd be very surprised if they don't already make one for it !!
-
Hi has anyone had a half roof made and if so by who and how much.
I've tried soft bits for kits but they only make ones for zero not 2b and s7 models
Pics would be nice too !!
-
Just a point dan but I have the software and leads to re do weber alpha. !
I know webers chief developer really well !
-
hi im running GBS plenum standard injectors and standard GBS exhaust and GT manifold on weber alpha system in my S7 and it made 178bhp on webers own rolling road
are you using the fuel reg on your set up cos GBS say not to but my car runs miles better with it connected
40bhp at flywheel is quite a lot to be down !!
-
Hi your right on the early days with the jiggle pin but hat was old pintos etc modern thermos dont have them
also its not a raceline rail his using its a retroford item which does have a bypass but looks like in pic its not being used !!
and your 100% right on water pump rotation !!!
and your pic is 100% spot on for what his got .
-
ok please talk me through this !!
if i jack up the front of the car where am i pushing or pulling as i will 100% check this tomorrow
-
yes the thermo fits with the spring part inside the housing that you bolt to the back of the engine
All you should see when you take off the waterail is the front of the thermo and a black rubber sealing ring that sits inside the waterail
if you need any more help or details pls ask
-
Also last but not least on the opposite end /side of the bit that bolts to the head does it have a pipe sticking out of it with a capped off end (maybe a bolt screwed in ) cos that's the bypass and should be plumbed into heater if fitted or into bottom rad hose
-
Also don't drill the thermo as even a couple of hole 3mm in size will cause it to run to cold 70-80c when on a fast run eg motorway as the stat can't do it job properly. Zetecs like and need 95-110c temps unlike old pintos etc
I run exactly the same water rail and all I've done is put an expan bottle from rad cap and it now sits at 95c all day everyday
-
Hi your thermo is the wrong way around. !! The spring goes inside the large part
-
Hi I also have a mk3 mono and I've not had this problem ????? But it seems this is deff something I need to look into .
Maybe I've just been lucky and it's not happened yet. So do I just fit a flat bar across front to prevent this starting ???
-
Hi I've fitted a garage defender from B and Q our row of garages got targeted about a year or so ago 15 done in one night and mine was the only one they could not open.
-
Hi is that not a sign of a failed rad cap ?
-
Just a quick thing but copper pipe should not be used in fuel lines the Impact of Ethanol Blended Petrol eats it way through it
Permitted ethanol content in petrol is 5% which is to rise to 10% in 2014.. However we are led to believe supermarket fuels may already have as much as 10% ...
That was a comment made in car mechanics magazine after a 2 issue article on the subject

Hi is this a regular meeting ? If so can I have the details please thanks

Thanks for your replys.
Any pics would be good.
Anyone else had this (see pic).
I'm running 80lb front springs and tie bars.
That happened the weekend. And me and the other half were only cruising as the weather really was not the best. Noticed it while parking it back in garage !!!!
