Hi Mark B PM Sent

Yup, see you there! I'll be in the tin top again.... the hood engine is in small pieces all over the garage, what fun

Fine with me, see you there but probably in the tin top if this weather keeps up!

Hi Tim, I have a lead I used for my old Passat 54 plate. It's compatible with RossTech software. Not sure if it will work with your car but you're welcome to try it. Do you need it in a hurry or should I bring it to the next S Yorks (Fox House) Meeting? Graham

I'll be there! Will search out midge repellent Cheers Graham

You could always take her with you Nick!

Thanks for the replies. The Transit joint has 3 bolt holes, the Escort / Fiesta joint has a pinch bolt rather than a threaded pin, so no joy so far. My local factor has gone through the QH catalog and only the Rover 800 looked likely but they are much smaller. It's probably from something older.

I've had new points whch had a waxy film on the contact surface. They needed a clean with meths to make electrical contact.

Hi, I have attached an image of the bottom ball joint from my 2B. It has a wishbone conversion of unknown origin so the joint is different to any other RH I've seen. Its very similar to an Escort / Orion but has a threaded end rather than the pinch bolt type. Your help would be appreciated Graham

Hi, PM sent re Instruments and Hood Supports Graham

Well, I've spent a lot of time trying to remove this plug without success. The socket was damaged by some previous owner and so neither a 10mmm hex nor Torx will fit securely. I've used heat and a grip wrench on the outsideof the plug to no avail. I'll have to get a nut welded to it and remove it that way, or maybe I'm just using the wrong swear words!! Graham

Hi, Does anyone know what size the Sierra diff oil level plug is. Mine is very tight and I do not want to damage the plug by using a tool that nearly fits! I suspect it's not metric? Cheers Graham

Thanks all for the replies and tips. There are no minis on scrappies around here but I managed to find one at a reasonable price on eBay. Just waiting for it to arrive and then have fun fitting it! Cheers Graham

I'm looking to replace my clanky Sierra wiper setup with a Mini setup. Please let me know if you have one in good condition. Thanks Graham

How complicated is that diagram! I've just fitted a loom from Premier Wiring Systems into my 2B with no difficulty. The instructions were clear as crystal and they have helpline which which really does help. I'd be tempted to get a refund on the VG and go for a PWS. It will cost a little more but save headaches ,time and sanity. Cheers

Sorry All, I can't make it tonight after all . Car very nearly ready, just hood frame to adjust andsidescreens to fit, so I'll definitely make next month Cheers Graham

I'll be there! There's an outside chance that I'll be in the 2B, fingers crossed!

Hi, I'll try to make it! Mum in hospital at the moment and need to do the visiting thing.

Please don't cry too much Bill, your car has gone to a good home! I've been driving this car all day, what fun!! My face is aching from the huge grins:) Looking forward to getting my membership pack and meeting up with other owners in my area. Brace yourself for a flood of questions

Is this still for sale? Have PM'd Brookie Cheers Graham
