Hi Mark, there's a few of us in Sheffield with 2B's. I live near junction 31. PM me your number and we can arrange for you to have a look round mine. Nick

Hi, the "doughnut" is a ford part, last one I bought (From ford dealer) was £1.50. Nick

Hi, I had the same problem. I tried the hair drier and got burnt fingers but it did speed up the process of getting the blue stuff off. For the adhesive residue I found nail varnish remover worked best (Not the low odour stuff), then clean with cheapo window cleaning fluid (the stuff that looks like coloured water). Nick

Hi, I'll be there, probably with a friend (Well.... The husband of a friend of the Wife's) See you there Nick

Hi Lee, you could try "Retro Ford" magazine, or Cortina owners club website . www.cortina1to5.f9.co.uk Although it seams to be under reconstruction at the mo. OR http://www.buysellcortina.co.uk/home.htm OR http://www.cortina80.co.uk/ Nick

Hi, I too am in Sheffield, and met the DVLA guy at Phil's (Was there for the excellent coffee ). The same guy came to do my build up inspection April 2007. He enjoyed the run out, and said it was easier to check documents and stuff (Can't say you've left them at home!!! you're already there) Nick

Hi all, is anyone going Friday afternoon/evening? Rob (CMA) and I intend to be there late afternoon Friday and wondered who else we may see. See you there.... Nick

Hi, The call should cost the same as to a land line (Home phone) as the number and dialtone are generated by the same exchange equipment, it's just "meter pulses" that are added to allow the payphone to charge the user. Beware, though, some payphones will not accept incomming calls. All this is for a fixed payphone, not the ones owed privately or in hospitals etc. Nick

Hi, I've also got a few seized fuel pumps.... The last 1 I bought was new, off Ebay for about £30. It looked ok in the photo's, but needed alternative fittings on the outlet. I also installed a pre-pump filter to stop any crap from the tank killing my fun Nick

Hi, I'll be there. I'm thinking about taking my own drinks!!!! Nick

I'll be there... Not sure if Friday eve. or Saturday, but will be camping. That means it's bound to rain!!!!!! Nick

Hi Jason, I didn't know your car was off the road, if you need any help, you just have to ask. Nick

Hi, for my top hose, I butchered the sierra 1, but the bottom hose was from halfords. It's a flexy, and listed for either a Mk2 or Mk3 cortina bottom hose. Added bonus is it comes with the correct size ends to suit. Nick

Hi, I found that by reversing the wires in my sender, I could get the guage to read "backwards". I did this as a quick fix for SVA to show a full tank, then found the fault was due to the guy who built my tank, and fitted the sender, had wedged the sender against the side of the tank so it couldn't move!!!! All sorted now though Nick

Glad you got it sorted Si. Nick

Hi Ian, There is an article in June 2008 kit car mag that shows details of some of this years shows. For Stafford it states "Stafford offers a large exhibition hall with upper gallery backed up by good facilities and a large, easily accessible outdoor area for the club displays as well as weekend camping and the staging of evening entertainment" Nick

Hiya Si, There's 1 for sale in this weeks ad-mag, I'll text you details when I can. Nick P.S. did the spare keys help?

I'll be there, too. I think it was August last year when we got eaten alive!!!!! Maybe move meet to Rother valley for next month would be a good idea (May try to charge us to get in though) Another idea, would be to have a run out, starting at Fox House, maybe to Castleton??? I'm sure we'll discuss this, and many other things on wednesday. See you there Nick

Hi, I had to strengthen the bonnet to stop the mirrors vibrating. Using a piece of flat bar for each side, I bent it to the curve of the bonnet, then fixed it in place using 1 mirror bolt, 1 bolt through the rear bonnet catch (i.e. at the bottom return edge of the bonnet) and liberal use of Araldite. One year on and it's still in place. If you're at Newark, look me up. (Blue 2b, F reg, tall screen) Nick

Mine's a 2004 2b and needed no cutting. Nick

Mine was a Mk2 Escort van, T reg, riviera blue, 1300 crossflow. Great fun, but the only reason I'd have it back is for it's value. Mind you, my mate hated it 'cos it was quicker than his Mk2 saloon, and his 1.6 capri Nick

Hi, here's details as promised. ATM Sport Ltd tel 01376 585125 www.atmsport.com According to the article they do brand new difs, drive shafts and bearing carriers, among other stuff Nick

Hi, a neighbour asked me if I wanted to buy these, I said no, but if anyone on here wants them, I can bring to Newark. 2 new MOMO racing wheels, no tyres. 7Jx15 H2, PCD 108 (ford), ET 38. Made in Italy £25 each.

Hi Rob, Hoodies don't know gentle anymore!!!! It's the liberal use of hammers during build you know Anyway, with the convoy setting off from your's, I'm sure they'll all help out with the beers See you at Newark, Nick

There was an article in May2008 Kitcar mag that had the details of suppliers of new ford difs, gearboxes and stuff. When I find it I'll post details.... Unless someone else has it to hand. They may be able to help. Nick
