  1. Dont bother.. Your best bet is to stick a kn pannel filter into the air box itself.. adding a cone filter can cause allsorts of hicups and with the heat soak actualy losses power

  6. If you mean the front and rear RS bum[er extensions then Rears go for around £60 Fronts if undamgaed can fetch silly money £80 plus
  7. Check all hoses for signs of blockage.. if the heater starts warm and then goes cold when engine is under load then the water isnt doing a full circui

  10. sounds to me like poss, disco rear lights water creeps in from around the boot shut n corrodes the earths on the back lights, check all screws are tight n give em n run a wire brush over to loosen any build up

    Hmmmmmm.

    Well guessing by what you've said about it sounding like the indiactor tick..my guess is a stuck indicator switch.. a very simple sort, just remove the steering cowlling to gain access to the switch/stork and either give it a good clean with summat like whitespirit/ nailpolish remover to remove all the gunk that gets stuck in there. or if its really bad fit a new stork..there cheap as chips and only tkae 5 mins to swop..
  12. Ive pm'd ya mate, save hogging 4 posts lol
  13. I do have for sale a bottle of genuine ford power roof fluid..500ml..still sealed..the correct weight for the pump

  16. Chris

    Help

    there should be 1 screw under a cover in the middle, and 2 at the front by the gear lever
  17. They where never made new in black..so any one you find will be a custom repplica
  18. As i said when ya came up, she dont look a bad old base at all... time n effort are all it takes..if ya need a hand with owt or anything give us a shout
  19. these are to clip all car cover onto so the roof can be left down..it clips over the same studs as the hood cover and comes over..there quiet hard to come by as they were an expenses opional extra at the time
  20. I carnt seeing being oil from the head gasket, if it had got to that stage theb you would have noticed some issues whilst driving. first thing id suggest is getting the old oil off so you've a clean block..you can pick a degreaser for a quid, then start with the basics..go for a run and when your back check for any fresh stains check around the disstributer and gearbox for any flows as this could highlight the dizzy O ring seal has gone, then have check around the cam cover side..take it off n check for any build up underneath it...if its gundged up that end it may mean ya cam shaft oil seals gone both are easy pound fixes by just repalcing the O rings on either side hope that gives ya some ideas..theres very little else other than just to check the connections n conditions of breather pipes as oil can travel a fair way when its under pressure
  21. cab looks grand..nice to see another ghia still going.. dunno if ya intrested but ive a pair of ghia door cards in the loft im never gonna use if ya looking?
  22. check the brake light switch..this sits just behind the brake peddle n opperates like a plunger(when prddle goes down it pushes the switch let off switch retracts)..these are notorius for snapping as there made from cheap plastic.
  23. Well i may doing a complete opersite of you. My cab days are soon to be over, once its sold that is....been offered a very nice sierra for peanuts so just maybe the advice i need will be on a yet a subject lol
