New Door Rubbers Leaking Both In The Same Place !!
gingergman replied to mickyfin32's topic in Bodywork Problems
ive noticed mine does this when i wash it, open the doors and theres alot of water sat on the rubbers, if it was sat in continuios rain i imagine it would leak into the car. never bothered to look into it though as it only gets wet when washed. are yours from east kent trim? ive had a few other problems with there other rubbers too -
Event: Classic Ford Car Show And Autojumble 2016
gingergman replied to Ollie's topic in Shows & Meetings
Had a good day today, best show I've been to this year I reckon. Way home left a lot to be desired though, long delays etc, and when I was nearly home a motorcyclist decided to hit me, he was traveling towards me in the middle of the road, a very loud bang, he nearly fell off, carried on riding so i carried on. That moment when you stop to get out and have a look to see any damages, to my relief the body is unmarked, the front wheel has 3 marks and paint missing, assume the wing mirror got hit too what added to the thud, but no damage except the wheel, I was expecting the wing to be dented in or something! Glad to just chuck the thing in the garage and leave it! Other than that, I had a excellent day! -

see you all in the morning -
certanly dont see many in black! whats it like on those focus wheels? was looking at getting a set for my orion but they have quite a high offset

the dipsticks are the same on all cvh engines. all mine have twisted around a bit if pushed, believe they just push in

if you copy and paste the IMG code on the right of the pitcures then they show up on here with no links, just copy, then paste in the comments box

Not a great deal, probably somewhere around the 6-700 mark
-
None of them are numbered, if someone says there's is, there lying or been lied to by the previous owner lol. There's more than 500 of them, people jump on the band wagon and say there rare, only 500 etc, both wrong! Still a nice model to have though. A realistic price is between 2-3k, above 3k for a seriously tidy one. Plenty advertised for silly money, none sell though!

Good luck with it, you'll have fun! Be worth it when done, a decent roof transforms a car

You should look at the dates on all these topics your posting on, it's good that you're helping but I'd hope everyone has sorted them by now

If enough thread is sticking out put two small nuts on it, do them up then lock them together, then undo the first nut and it will wind the bolt out.

id get a decent auto electrician to give it the once over, save the headaches and guessing games. recently had one look at my mk4, saved me so much aggro!
