  1. Step 1 . Do you have a spark at plugs . Unplug a lead ,fit a plug to the lead & earth it. Get someone to crank over engine.No spark ? Ignition fault likely.scan on vag-com worthwhile
  2. I've heard original Securit screens are the only way to go ?
  3. I have a crack just spreading nicely 4inch. :( thanks probably to the gritters spreading a billion tons of salt & grit on the roads,so could do with some advice on this also
  4. Don't know what to suggest, my Recaro's don't have a lumbar adjustment ?! Look at VW Heritage maybe
  5. Very nice indeed :thumb right:
  6. Nice little fleet, C looks good. You must love spending time in the garage, with that lot !
  7. They look superb, do they feel much different to the standard brakes? What were they from originally ? & what wheel spacers & bolts did you use in the end & sorry for all the questions !
  8. The slots in the cams should line up with the top surface of head.Is that what you mean ? Does your mechanic think there is a problem ? Looks like the cams just need to be turned a little to line up,cant see a problem there Rams.
  9. I fitted one from a Vauxhall Astra,fits just fine
  10. Will look out for that next week, in my history of car ownership i've had 2 Fords. Mk5 Cortina & Mk 3 Capri. Don't miss them one bit.But always wished i'd had a Mk 1 or 2 Escort . Silly money now !
  11. Customer with a Boxter called me today with a failed alternator. £300 plus fitting ! ouch. Supposed to be 1.5 hrs to fit, will find out next week.
  12. Hey Ben ! my thoughts on a 996 are lovely car, quality. However less of a DIY car to repair & cost of parts very high.Depends also on your budget as you might find one for 10k but how well used & abused ? Other cars to consider ? Mk5 Golf gti, BMW 330 coupe? good luck with your decision anyway
  13. See what your saying ! http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ford/classics/ford-escort-rs-1600-1971/1096668
  14. They paid nearly £5k for that old Escort ??!! & then sold it for nearly £12k ??!!! Incredible, Who would have thought that 25 years ago when they were worth £300 ?
  15. Next time you have a meet stick a post up on here, will try & come along.
  16. Yep,nice to see you all.Had a nice drive back in the sunshine & managed to avoid all the potholes on A43 ! terrible.
  17. Mine has also been a weekend car,sorned over winter for the last 4- 5 years ,though have chosen to tax it for 12 mnths at a time from now on as fed up with locking it away for 6 mnths.Done under 20k miles in 11 years ownership !
  18. Got it now ! :cheers: :bonk: :dance:
  19. Looks like the weather should be ok for this so i will be driving up,a convoy was mentioned so could we meet somewhere ? I'm travelling from the South ,if that works,if not exchange tel no's & meet there ?
