  1. Dry stored for 5 years, only thing that required was a new battery (done) & a clean - (not done). quick walk around and video of it starting for the first time. 20240707_131005_3.mp4 20240707 131005 3.mp4 20240707 144643.mp4
  2. yes, I will try to post it later, but being a mobile phone video, they never sound very good (due to noise cancelling).
  3. Thx Mitch, yep.... its still going strong. You can buy it back if you wish
  4. Due to unforeseen circumstances I must regretfully sell the infamous Jaguar Engined Robin Hood 2B (2003) stainless chassis and body that has been dry stored for past 5 years gathering dust. No MOT and probably only done 5000 miles since owning it. Will come with a plethoral of spares which due to fitness, work & family commitments unable to make any upgrades or get any pleasure from it. Comes with a 3.0ltr V6 engine & gearbox from a Jaguar S-type. Full build notes here: https://www.rhocar.org/index.php?/forums/topic/40827-jag-v6-30-into-my-2b/ Will come with rebuilt ford XR4i LS diff and parts, kit to convert rear drums to disk brakes, spare nosecone, new wings, new lights, new seat belts, full wet weather gear, wet weather roof. folding side doors, new battery, the list is endless. Starts first time and still purrs like a cat (pun intended). It now needs a good home where somebody can appreciate and give it their personal touch. Asking £5000 ono. Contact Dino 07720548855 for more information.
  5. Cheers dude thanks for the advice, so I really need to fix the filler on the cover plate for future fill-up when the diff is in place. Now that everything is stripped from the rear axle, I need to look carefully at the diff, it looks like a hair line fracture on the top where the large bolt attached it to the frame of car. So maybe some welding is needed and whilst its all off, I should really either replace or fix the filler
  6. Just a quick safety check question (as I don't know the history of the axle): I gather the only high tensile steel bolts are on the hubs & brake carriers. As these are the only bolts that seem to have 10.9 written on the heads. All the others look standard.
  7. Cheers guys much appreciated, some hunting around to do now.
  8. Can anybody suggest any places links I can get the nuts and bolts required for a Ford Sierra 7" diff. Or should I just go to Ford Parts? Just stripping down a rear axle to fit onto the kit and most of the bolts are either seized, damaged or stripped. The filler plug is completely seized and no use, but the diff has another filler tapped into the top already. Need to replace the Torx retaining bolts for the the diff cover. Also need to replace the fitting bolts as most needed to be drilled out or cut off. I found these, but would rather replace all of them with new whilst I'm restoring the rest: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Sierra-Sapphire-Esate-Rear-Hubs-rear-Arms-7-diff-differential-Bolts-/253453378826 Any links, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Dino
  9. Thrashed, isn't this officially opening on the 27th? https://www.facebook.com/events/188752982016954/ The Westfield boys are also arranging a meet-up that weekend, so could be a good gathering of 7's.
  10. All set up after a great drive in and the weather will be cracking. So lots of sunscreen required.
  11. Im sure something will be posted on here, but if you come in your kit for the day you will find the club stand as you drive in ( cant miss is ) and you just park up there and enjoy a cuppa and a chat, if you want to camp ( highly recommend ) they have an area far away from anyone else and you just show your ticket, pitch up and enjoy. Nikki
  12. We will be there Keith to help, Dino has to collect my caravan ( no tenting ever again !!! ) but I will be there first in the kit of course about 12, Nikki
  13. I hope you are bring some cake with you then !!!!! Nikki x
  14. sorry we missed out, our house has been under attack of the flu for the past 2 weeks
