Hi John, I'm up for September too - can I go in the envelope as well please ? Thanks, Steve

Worn pedal bushes on mine, combined with a longer clutch cable gave exactly the same problem, to the point where it wouldn't always disengage when it was hot. New pedal bushes cured it but the bite was still not far off full travel. I'm now fitting a larger quadrant to give me a bit more clearance. Have a look at item 160891372337 on eBay Steve

Hi Steve, Can you put me down for both Sundays please. Reg. F543 GNT Thanks, Steve

Hi John, Can you add me to the list please - I've got to come & have another go! Thanks, Steve

Hi Jase, Put me down for this one please, Reg. F543GNT I'll settle up with you on Thursday (if that's OK). Cheers, Steve

Put me down for a go at that! I can't miss the challenge - "virtually nothing to hit" - we'll see! 1 - Lowlife (John) 2 - Rallyreason (Alan) 3 - Foz (Steve)

I fancy a go at that, anybody been round there? What's the track like? I'd be up for it - if I can get a pass out !! Steve

I got mine from a scapyard off a little Daihatsu something I think. Only cost me a few quid whereas I reckon you'll be looking at about £100 for a brand new one.

Had the same problem on my 2B - fitted a small jap alternator as above but beware as some need an extra switched +12V from the ignition circuit. Easy enough to do - but a pain if you've already got your loom sorted out. Steve

As I understand it, there are loads of things that affect the actual pressure you get, but as long as all 4 cylinders are pretty much the same as one another there's nowt to worry about !

Fitted the bushes yesterday - they're made of a softer material than the originals but fitted fine. They seem to work OK but how long they'll last remains to be seen! Anyway there's no more clicking from the brake pedal ................... at least for the time being.

Received the ones from Flo-flex today & they look OK - I'll try fitting 'em this weekend & let you know how I get on.

My local Ford dealer has never been over keen to look up older parts but I'll give him a go next weekend. Meanwhile I've just found that Flo-flex list some for early escorts that look the same & they're £6.93 for a set of 4 so I might give them a try. At that price it's not the end of the world if they don't fit.

The plastic "top hat" plastic bushes between my brake pedal & pivot shaft have split (a few laps of Barkston Heath may have had something to do with it). It's the original pedal box from the Sierra so they've lasted 20 odd years, but now I'm getting a clicking from the brake pedal. Does anyone know where I can get new ones from ? I'd like to replace both clutch & brake while I'm at it, so if anyone knows where I can get 4 from I'd be very grateful. Thanks chaps, Steve

Thanks John, see you there.

Any updates on the passenger paperwork John ? Steve

Hi John, What about passengers? I think we had a separate form for them to fill in last year - I might be wrong, my memory's not what it was !!! Steve

Hi Jase, Add me to this list please, see about 9:30 Steve

Got my pass today thanks - definitely be there on Sunday and hopefully Saturday too, if plans work out.

So sorry John - I haven't been watching this post & I've only just realised I should have paid by now. I've just posted the cheque, hopefully you'll get it by Thursday. Grovelling apologies again, Steve

Had a similar problem with mine when something got stuck in the pressure cap & stopped it from holding any pressure at all - as soon as the engine warmed up it chucked about half a pint of coolant on the floor. 1 new cap & everything was back to normal. Can you check if the system is getting pressurised or not ? Try squeezing the top hose as it warms up. HTH Steve

Amazingly I did get a reply to my question of why does it say Dutton on the V5, & I quote - "I have no idea I'm afraid. My brother bought the car and I am just listing it on his behalf." Not surprisingly the question didn't get listed on the advert. More worrying, some poor soul paid nearly £3k for it.

I've just asked the Locost seller why it says Dutton on the log book - I'll let you know if I get a reply (don't hold your breath).

Hi Jase, Put me down please - F543GNT 2 peeps Cheers, Steve

Aren't you camping on the beach ?? All being well we'll be there, but we might meet you at the Ponderosa. I'll let you know beforehand, Steve
