Hi I have a sierra based s7 so any s7 owners or anyone else out there who can tell me if the front Vallance if I'm calling it right (the panel the windscreen sits on ) just unbolts from the three bolts each side where your knees are and then lifts off or is there more to it

Hi I have a sierra based s7 and want to fit some adj track control arms but does any one know if escort ones will fit straight on or do I need to buy sierra ones

I use the cube one on my 2.0 black top and it's fine but I bought the original facet one . Beware of the cheap Chinese copy's I use the webcon (weber) combined fuel pump /swirl pot . Less plumbing etc

Hi I don't think it will make a difference as my s7 came with a 1.6 pinto when I got it but let me know if you need any more info or if some pics would help

hi i have a blacktop in my s7 and I used 1.8 cvh engine mounts on up rated sierra mount rubbers

Hi it sounds like your fan belt is slipping. So at low engine speeds the water pump can keep up but at higher revs the belt slips on water pump

just a thought but ive just converted by black top zetec to injection and I used the webcon combined swirl pot/fuel pump its the same size as a normal swirl pot and has a high pressure pump fitted and a fuel level trip switch to cut the pump if the fuel level drops due to lift pump failer etc

Hi car builder solutions does a fuel sender gauge mis-matcher you can adjust the ohms to get a near perfect match

Hi can someone tell me what the 2 connections go to on the back of he GBS plenium I know on is to fuel reg but I seem to have one threaded hole for an approx. 10mm bolt and one is a 10mm push on hose ?? the reg one should be a 4mm push surely??

hi my heater matrix exits into the bottom hose as per the routing pics on retro fords site .... if your heater returns to the top hose then when thermostat opens the heater will be luke warm at best if not just cold ? or am I missing something ?? which is pretty normal !!

hi I have a brand new black top in my s7 and it runs at around 100c -115c mark !!!!!!! if you manage to get yours to run cooler pls let me know how cos ive fitted an 82c stat a 3 core rad an adj fan switch more vents in engine bay and still the temps don't change

hi I have the s7 mono and I can move the steering wheel up and down about an inch it seems to be what ever the column is attached to under the dash now does anyone know if this part is a bolt on part or is it a mig job ? the column is done up tight to 2 brackets that hang down but theres so many wires etc under there that even laying on my back on the seat I cant quite see whats moving but its deff not the column on the brackets its deff the brackets

this is the spring Email to a Friend Availability: In stock Web Only (Incl VAT): £9.70

Hi yer for some reason its not on there web site or at least I could not find it there so I went in and asked and there £9.70 each if any one wants one let me know and ill pick it up and bring it to donnington sat as I live 15mins from burtons

hi I had exactly the same problem !!!! just happened to speak to chris at burton power about it and they do a spring from a mk1 escort that was standard fit by ford back in the day that fits from the bell housing to the clutch fork for this very reason !!!!! and its like £1.25p or something silly

thanks that was exactly what id done

Has anyone else had this ? I took my rear hubs apart to change my drive shafts anyway when I put it back together when I do the wheel up it clamps the rear drum to the back plate so the wheel wont turn ???? the four hub bolts bolt to the subframe and the drive shaft nut just holds the shaft in the bearing carrier so im miffied as to whats happened ?

Hi ive also just fitted a blacktop 2.0 to my S7 after removing a 1.6 pinto I used the GBS pedal set-up but raised it up 1-1/2 inch on its mounting and have used the standard sierra m/c after drilling a 50mm hole in bulk head for the rear of m/c to pass through this means the fluid res sits next to bulk head with very easy access to top ups etc another thing to bear in mind eddis will lock timing to 15deg . I also use a type 9 5 speed and never had to use a gear lever extn as the engine droped straight onto excisting mounting points I also used standard zetec clutch ,flywheel etc after buying the longer clutch lever pin from GBS also you will need windage tray and baffles ( learned this the hard way 2 silver tops later)

hi thanks for all the replys yer log book says s7 but everyone who sees the car says o its a robinhood 2B aint it so im just so used to saying yer I just forget its true name !!!!!! (the senior moments are starting) anyway I have tracking gauges and camber/caster gauges so ill have a look weekend !!!!!! again thanks for all the replys

Hi I have the 2b mono with the front in-board shocks and the handling is just scary!!!!!! the car is just so tail happy ive tried the rear camber up to 0deg up to -4deg neg tried tyre pressures up and down . made front shocks harder and rears softer etc the car just don't inspire confidence !!!!!! An example is a big roundabout approach it at 30-40 mph in 4th and if you even think of touching the gas your going backwards facing the on coming cars !!!!!!!!! I don't have cheap tyres and i,m running a 2.0 zetec with a 3,14 diff for touring !!!!!! so its not like its set up for wheelspinning 1st to 3rd !!! any ideas !!!!!!!!!!

sorry just to clarify I don't mean just bottom of wheel I mean whole wheel by nearly the length of a thumb

hi after reading all the posts about rear camber etc ive looked at my car and noticed that my rear wheel on drivers side sticks outside the wheel arch by about the width of the first tyre block !!!!!!!! the passenger wheel is fully in line with rear arch ? I have measured everywhere checked everything but cant understand why one wheel sticks out and one don't !!!!!! anyone any ideas ?

hi guys / girls not sure if this is in right forum but feel that i had to prase webcon !!!!! i bought the webber alpha engine management / twin 45 set up to run my blacktop zetec anyway a long story short the car car would just not run right !!!!!!! it was really rich on idle and dangerously lean on progesssion then running a rich 9.3 air fuel ratio on crusing !!!! anyway burtons salesman chris spoke to webber on my behalf explaining about the car and how bad it was running webcon took up this challenge giving me a slot on sanspeeds rolling road the following morning explaining that thay had spoken to peter at sanspeed and that all jetting chokes etc would be covered by them !!!!!! after a rolling road session its like a different car, a company like webcon could have just said all engines are different etc and left me to sort it however thay went out of there way to sort my car and i think credit where credit is due i just wanted to say exceptional service from both companys
