    Hi Mate, I work in a bodyshop in kings lynn called Gladwins. I believe there other branches around the area.

    The spare tyre is not a part of the MOT test, only if your vehicle is being serviced then it should be checked
  5. He might have to rob a bank to pay for the beer his gonna buy me. LOL
  6. I am looking forward to this meet. I will try & get down early to get ollie at the front of the queue. I'm not going to eat for 2 days before this meet so that I get my money's worth of breakfast. Not sure if I'll be down in the cab or the tintop YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE
  7. Well its time for an update. I have replaced both outer sills (offside & nearside), replaced the front & rear bumpers which I painted black then a couple of coats of clear lacquer, changed the oil stem seals (just for peace of mind), I then the polish out with a big tub of elbow grease & got polishing. I was very happy with the results. Hope you like the updated pic's.
  8. You haven't seen the amount I can eat when someone else is paying. I have got hollow legs. LOL
  9. Try these links for ebay. Rear Bumper http://cgi.ebay.co.u...IT#ht_500wt_956 Front Bumper http://cgi.ebay.co.u...2#ht_500wt_1182
  10. Hi Mate, Can you change the location to anywhere around cambridge so that I can pop in for a chat. LOL
  11. Mk3's run from 1980 to 1985. MK4's run from 1985 to 1990/91
  12. I've got a lovely mint rear bumper with the RS lower valance fitted to it to go with your side skirts & possibly a front RS lower skirt aswell, if your interested!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Well you did cast your eyes over it on sunday when you collected the side skirts
  14. £450 & I have been offered £700 as it stands & I turned the offer down
  15. It has got 90,267 miles on the clock & I have ford service history up to 87,649miles. The engine runs sweet, no tappet noises & the gear linkage is still tight. Which is a big bonus.
  16. Hi markey, Country life is treating me good thanks & I love fresh carrots LOL.
  17. I thought I had better show my new project. Its had 1 previous owner & has got 90,000 miles on the clock. It is quite a tidy motor thats needs a little TLC to get it back to its prime. It doesn't need alot of work for the MOT, just the outer sills both sides. The wheels are original & I got a all the history, I even got the original bill of sale
  18. Yes you can get the leads from halfords. I personally use bosch HT leads & the only thing you have to do with the spark plugs is to check/adjust the electrode gap. Whereabouts are you?
  19. It sounds to me it is either a plug lead or spark plug breaking down under load or the coil pack is causing a slight misfire under load. Hope this helps
  20. It looks like azure blue to me

    I would get your ignition timing checked. Does your car have a blue cap (Motorcraft) on the distributor or a red one (Bosch). If it has a blue cap, it might be the ignition module on the case of the distributor breaking down under load. When I worked in a ford main dealer in colchester, we changed the distributors over from motorcraft to bosch distributors because of this problem with the ignition modules. Hope this helps
  22. No Mate. I didn't change my master cylinder & it works 100% with the RS Turbo front brakes. While your doing the pipework for the brakes, you could change the front hoses to braided hoses. You will get a firm pedal compared to the standard rubber hoses
