  1. Is it the roof pump in the boot, is it leaking on the plastic bit on the end of the pump ?  If so could try vw dealers I am told it’s the same pump as golf cars ,they seem to have more parts than ford , failing that look for second hand pump on eBay, normally from £75 upwards

  2. Here're a couple of photos: Anyone catch any pics of that Lancaster bomber? 'Was so low I was worried the ice cream would get knocked off my cone...
  3. Is it turning over now then ? Can you here the fuel pump prime ? If so take a spark plug out to see if you have a spark when turning over.
  4. That’s one to remember lee, glad you got it sorted.
  5. It was hot,I got panda eyes with my glasses on all day, I was first person in the show ground, problem, they lost our stand so I had 300 cars queuing behind me, it took 20 mins to sort out, luckily we ended with the best stand besides the main arena ,it was so busy I never left the stand all day, did not even get round other stands, it realy enjoyable,was drained when I was almost the last to leave.
  6. Thanks Paul, I did Ollie about wher to put them as I could not find gallery that we had on previous site.
  7. Here are some snaps of us parked up in formation:
  8. They vary car to car, but if it is constant in that position it’s fine. I have four cars with the same engine and they are all different.
  9. Jon and Craig , ollies m8s, the other three are on the post.
  10. A week to go till this show, we have six going at present with possibly one or two more maybes.
  11. Sorry should read come and join us lol
  12. No, one and join us, it’s pay on the gate on the day,approx 12 quid per person in a ford car, you will be made to feel welcome. Regards Ian.
  13. That’s great, see you there. Regards Ian.
  14. I don’t think the pumps have ever changed from mk4 up to mk6, the ones I seen are all the same.
  15. Bizarre ,why would you do that, that’s like a time bomb !
  16. What colour thermostat have you got in,if I remember some are purple , might be worth changing it ?
  17. Sorry not the link ,on this page will be fine.
  18. Not through the club this show, you can either pay on the gate on the day or buy online direct from beauleiu as I have done. Just leave a post on our beauleiu show link to say you are going so I know who to expect. Thanks again.
  19. I think Ollie has,not sure how many attending this year,it’s one of those shows you can just turn up on the day,myself and at least two or three others are going,come and join us ,we will make you more than welcome. It’s a good show ,over 1000 cars last year.
  20. Is there a smell in the coolant of oil if so I recommend a cometic (stainless steel head gasket) I had a similar problem with my escort rs turbo 5 or 6 years ago,I blew three head gaskets in 12 months . I tried most things like you have,problem is you don’t know how many times the head has been skimmed, and that changes the compression,so you have to build the layers back up to give you the right compression. Mine has been fine since. It may not be your problem but it is a fact that reskimming heads does change the engines compression if done a few times and if you have upgraded the performance even more so. Good luck.
  21. Just booked my ticket online,hope I don’t have to queue to get in lol
  22. Buy your ticket through the club on events coming up (left hand side of main page ) your ticket will turn up approx 7-10 days before the show. Look forward to meeting you and seeing your cab. Regards Ian.
  23. Good to save another ,one day prices will start to rise.
  24. Four or five so far,are you coming ?
