Newbie looking for a Escort Mk1 van
Rally Pack 2000 replied to PineRidge's topic in NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCTIONS
They really hate motorists there. They even fine you for not telling them you not going to use your own car! -
Even though they say print is dead, there is a lady down the back of some factory units near me that still offers the service apparently.

Im unsure if I have the same passion for my OSF as I did back then, just and my age I cant be bothered to learn to fix anything else! Welcome! Cause it started? 🥰 (Sorry) Dont our politicians do it every day? I suspect they signed deals to keep themselves living forever. They certainly wake up without a conscience!

Burton's have replacement Knuckles and assorted Universal Joints in stock, What Generation is he? The later Gen Zs do tend to wear out easily Nice wheels for a work van.

What does SORN stand for? Sad Or Rusty & Neglected? 🤔 -
A bit more rain would actually help!

No I mean actual slippery croaking frogs. These are my own photos just in my back yard. They are everywhere! They sit there watching to see if you let your guard down.

No one took the bait or are too afraid to ask what the top of the food chain really is ............ but ........ its the Frogs!

It rained for 5 mins today, it was glorious and welcome and for the first time in weeks I dont have to water the plants to prevent them from drying out.

I think it was all part of his sales technique pretending his is selling up when he has a huge stash to sell one by one.

Has anyone else got another make of car that they own that they enjoy?

PS - But what they never tell you is what secretly is at the top of the food chain, you think they are harmless while they just stare at you without any care! But It may be dangerous if I tell you guys the real secret.

K&N Air Filter for Mk2 RS2000 / Mexico vs Paper
Rally Pack 2000 replied to Rally Pack 2000's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
What ado you mean? Dont you get this round your way then? While the photos are a bit of an exaggeration of the problem in that dust-storms like that in Sydney really only occur once every 5 years or so but think of it in an accumulative way and its a very real issue over a number of months. Are those Mann filters of a reasonable quality and flow? Only this week Ive faced a similar dilemma with Mums old Toyota Camry from the 80s. I suddenly found no one was stocking air filters for it and the costs of them to special order was about $60 from local sellers yet I could get a K&N for $80 that would last me for years if not the rest of the cars life. But that dust consideration has cast some long term doubts about using K&N these days. -
K&N Air Filter for Mk2 RS2000 / Mexico vs Paper
Rally Pack 2000 replied to Rally Pack 2000's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
Just resurrecting this thread to ask the question, in an original European Mk2 RS2000 filter assembly would you use a standard paper filter for better dust protection of a K&N with a better flow but remembering you are bound by the restrictions of the original housing itself? Just been look at some tests and while the flow is definitely better with a K&N their dirt and dust protection is worse than the cheapest paper filter. So was wondering what balance you would need to strike? While dust isnt a problem in the UK with regular rainfall that keeps it negligible, the opposite is the case here and we even have dust storms. I have always reached for K&N but wondering if i may be doing more harm than good? The other consideration is getting paper elements for the original air filter assembly is quite difficult which are hard to get even in Europe but simply non existent here. -

Anyone dabbled with Windscreen Locking Strip Tools?
Rally Pack 2000 replied to Rally Pack 2000's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
Of course! No way I was spending 50 bucks on a tool I only get to use once every 5 years! And in a number of years time when I go to try find it again I will swear i bought one of these things and have no idea where it is after all this time. So it has a spot with other similar tools I will always know exactly where it is. -
My original one has speaker holes I wanted removed so I found a beige one and vinyl sprayed it black.

Thats looks different to the ones I was just looking at ! Hmmm -
Over the years I have been told of an actual too that helps you install the chrome strips around windscreen rubbers. Never seen one or used one in the flash. I can see a few online for sale. Anyone have any experience with them or recommend a good one? Twenty years ago I remember doing the Twincams by hand (with its original rock hard rubbers) and I can still remember walking around with pained arched fingers as if I had arthritis decades before my time LOL Given I just ordered the Chrome screen trim for both cars I think I should get the right tool so if one works better than another let me know!
