Not as well-known as Colin McRae but equally spectacular was Simon McKinley in his white Mk2 Escort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY-Tvn0pc1M

Hi, have an Aldon Ignitor I ignition for the Pinto with a Bosch distributor. Type 1847V. Was intended for someone who I adapted a distributor for but when I wanted to install the magnetic ring I noticed it had a very smell hairline crack. Ignition worked anyway but I removed it as it was unclear if it was going to be reliable or not. Complete kit with amplifier, fittingkit-parts and fitting instructions in original box. Maybe useful for someone as a spare (amplifier). Want 15 Euro for it (is postagecost from NL to UK). Leon.

Noticed something weird whilst browsing fleabay. Lumenition Performance kit. accessed from ebay.co.uk : price is GBP 286.80 ; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116976301876 accessed from ebay.ie (Ireland): price is GBP 275.00 ; https://www.ebay.nl/itm/116976301876

I measured the metal tops of the axle stand and found a seller of rubber pads who lists the measurements (top and bottom) of the pads on their website.

Searched for similar tools some time ago and found some flat-top axle stands. Look for axle stands for campers or caravans. In the end I didn't bother and got some thick rubber pads that are a tight fit on top of traditional stands.

Hi, is the engine on DCOE's or IDF's as per the photo?

You can get wiper blades with adapters for straight arms cost alot less than new arms.

(maybe a repost)

Did you change that sign as well? 😜

Someone "funny" changed that sign, was it you James?

Is that a steering wheel lock I see? As if someone would want to steal it! Maybe we can organise a fund-raiser so we can buy the car, have it scrapped and arrange some well-deserved therapy for the owner 😑

Jealous of Buck (again for obvious reasons); the princess was a slight favorite.

RIP. Used to watch it every week (for obvious reasons).

It's a product of my imagination ... but wouldn't it be cool if someone would google "cleaning washer bottle" and AI-Google finds this thread and people around the world actually try it 😄

Give a pregnant doris a spicy curry to eat and let her pee on the washer bottle the next morning.

A guy who I went to school with bought a new Renault 4 after he got an inheretance from his gran. It had those folding "camping" chairs ... 2 years on and when he demonstrated how easy the seats could be taken out to a teacher he not only removed the passenger-seat but also a part of the floor, rotten away in 2 years 😮

On some (newer) cars one has RH and the other LH thread I believe.

TRE's are not handed? Edit: the RH on the bag means RH thread.

Never better

Laser wheel nuts are nothing special. What nuts did you get?

Ronal. 7x13 ET5 was never homologated for GP1. Maybe it is something like everyone calling an arched Escort "Gp4". 7.5x13 are ET-19.

Flat

There are 3 types of GP1 wheels. The UK type 6x13 ET19 with a H75AB number which you are referring to, the German 6x13 ET19 with a H75EG number which I was referring to and the German 6x13 ET5 wheel.

The spare wheel on my car is a GP1 wheel. Photo on the left, on the right is a Laser wheel. Guess I saved you 800 quid ! Plus probably the same or more on postage .... 🤣

Yes, Lasers are a copy of the GP1 wheels (thicker spokes).
