I’d stripped it all down ready this time and found this floating around behind the cover for the ignition coil! I’ve cleaned everything up and bolted it all back together but not Road tested it yet. https://i...

Here’s a pic from earlier, all taken with car in 5th gear…ten mins driving, 20 mins driving and 30 mins driving. A real odd one this! Got hold of an Old Ford technical training fo...

Trying to get a matching pair of anything has been an absolute ball ache, I’m not sure it makes a difference but didn’t want say a Triscan top moun...
Fronts are handed Rears not Kit Thanks Duncan! I’m gonna pay my local factors a visit tomorrow see if I can suss out why one seller says one particular KYB set will fit and another says they won’t. Hopefully I’ll have some definitive answers. Who’d have thought buying some shocks would be so diffic...
