I have used BP Ultimate until recently though Shell VPower has been rated highly especially Honest John of Telegraph, Recently when filling up my lawn mower I noticed it smelt slightly differently to the smell I am accustomed to so I guessed this was due to ethanol being used. Coupled to the fact that ethanol content is going to go up to 10% from September I started looking into what else I can use. Esso Supreme 99+ seems to tick all the boxes for me as they say it does not currently have any ethanol in Supreme 99+ (but it may change from September) except if you happen to live in Devon or Cornwall. I have changed in my daily use car and it appeared to have more power. I haven't used in my Ford so can't comment.

There is an online info: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty usually it works out at 5% duty plus 20% vat on top. The total cost also includes the postage. The postage costs from USA are normally quite high. If it is then delivered by Royal Mail then their handling charge on top. If it is sent by courier then sometimes it is all inclusive. i would ask the person in USA you are buying from what method they use in shipping. If it is USPS then it will be delivered by Royal Mail here.

It’s either a 957cc or 1100cc engine. It’s not xflow but a Valencia. 957 can be either a low compression or high compression.

More than likely. I used to have Anglia 105E which I remember had a similar set up in 1970’s. One day in a breakers yard I came across an anglia van which had a new radiator so I got that. The radiator had square hole in the middle which when fitted lined up with the crankshaft pulley. I went to the dealer and asked if any Anglias were ever fitted with starting handles and yes vans came with handles was the reply so ordered the locating cog to replace the crank pulley bolt and a starting handle. It all fitted perfectly. i could never start the car with the handle. I was later advised not to start the car that way because high compression engines were difficult to start and with a back fire one could easily break ones arm! I found it perfect for setting valves though. If I remember correctly there was a strengthening plate welded to the back of valance

From the picture looks very much like 1979 UK escorts Riveira Blue to me.

Fiestas never came with rear antenna as standard unless you fit an after market one. Antennas if fitted were on the front wing but had a narrower fixing.

Hi Guys, I am looking to build a 1300 mk1 fiesta crossflow engine. As I already have the cylinder head and Inlet manifold so looking for a complete cylinder block. I do not mind if it is in bits as I would be re-building it.
