  1. im up for that,about time we had something round this way.
  2. Cheers mate. Just ordered it now. Fingers crossed it reads right. Just got drill other one out now to eliminate that its in wrong place.
  3. Maybe yeah. Was scared of wreckin something before i'd even drove it lol. Will have look at it over weekend. Ford want forty quid for a sender
  4. I did think of moving the fan switch lower down but wasnt sure if this would be ok. I may try it briefly wirh stat out. Although coolant must be passing it for rad to be hot. As for sender,just hope that the aftermarket type have wrong resistance. I know its in different place but its in water before the stat opens
  5. Hi all,after a six year rebuild im finally doing a shakedown before finishing my car over winter. Took it out last night and outside temp was quite cool. The car is running 2wd yb engine with radtec cooler/rad combo. When first started few week ago the waterpump was leaking so i changed it but have put a pinto one on as i couldnt get cosworth one at the time. Now last night the engine seems to run to hot,its not boiling over but fans coming in and out quite often. I felt the top pipe and its very hot whilst bottom pipe isnt. Im running a stat as well. Are pinto pumps not upto the job? I see burton do genuine ford yb pumps so can get one if needed. Also having probs with temp guage. The sender snapped in the head so i made a boss thats in stat housing but the engine side of the stat if you understand me. Is this ok here? Temp guage goes into red even when just moving car out of garage. I had the cosworth sender fitted at first and have changed it for aftermarket "white" escort type but still same. Im hoping its just still not suited to my 6 dial clocks. Thanks for any help.
  6. totaly agree mate comlete Apple Pies there was no need for it we had 2 babys with us and got no sleep. The security told us that they got to agressive so they couldnt deal with them, wat were they getting paid to do then? We kicked off the next day to classic ford chairman and got all our money back because we were told there was'nt a family area.we wont be camping next year it completely put us off

  22. Dont think they know what theyve got its that big,and there is three different yards.As you turn in off the road you can either go in the yard or into the hanger. If you enter the yard its on the left and up in the air on giant shelves. Beware as they can be miserable buggers
