Many years ago I looked at a faulty lamp failure unit from a Sierra. Can't remember what exactly was wrong with it but it was not complicated inside and an easy repair. Maybe Auto Electrician can open it.

What's wrong with the old one?

Many years ago a clubmember had these calipers and he used discs from Fiat.

Ahhh my eyes ... too shiney. I wonder why you haven't fitted chromed overriders to your bumpers!

The 257 mm ones are used to make use of the all the pad area. You could use 247 mm discs which leaves a bit of pad area unused. Then fit the new 257 discs in a couple of weeks.

For a race car it is of use to keep the under bonnet temps down a bit. For a road car don't. Have seen a couple of road cars with the stuff a year or so after they put it on. The wrap keeps water / moist in contact with the manifold which then becaomes brittle / rust away in no time.

Have you asked them? If not then it's a harsh assumption. Could think of alot of reasons why the prices (if you are correct) are higher. Some time ago another UK company got the same feedback. Turned out they now listed their prices with VAT instead of without.

Did your dog get a bite?

Curious where it fits, and what engine.

Here is the Mk2 fuel cap I sold some time ago. (and bought a small island of the earnings 😀 ). There are more versions than these but this is the one for the cap that comes flush with the rearpanel (no protruding filler).

What are the tickets for Marcel? Are you going to EFE if it is happening this year?

You would need to pay tax and import duties plus pay for quarantine / UV treatment of the grass before you have it delivered!

Mmmm maybe it's an auction for weed! I won't bother then, we have that enough over here, not that I use it ofcourse.

The newer type of reduction geared starters are "permament magnet" DC motors. So indeed you cannot compare the two just by using Watt = Voltage x Current.

Sign isn't French, their version is here:

So you haven't spoken to the guy who says use Evans waterless coolant ... Whatever you get don't mix it with anything else.

Anti freeze cannot dissolve corrosion that is in the block.

Would you be surprised if I tell you that a 1.4 kW starter draws less current at the same voltage than a std 0.7 BHP (= 0.5 kW) starter?

You mean 1.4kW I guess. And it doesn't work that way. A starter doesn't draw more amps if the voltage is less. It will draw less amps.

A hammer is a hammer, not a crimping tool ... see photo of proper crimping tool. I have twin 16 sqmm cables from battery-in-boot to cut-off switch on dash. From that switch I have one 16 sqmm cable to the starter and one 16 sqmm cable to the alternator. For your spec twin 25 sqmm cables will be plenty enough.

My 2 cents: I've seen many battery-in-boot conversions where the owner had starting issues even with the very big cables that katana suggested. The key here is that you use quality connections for the cable and a proper crimping tool, not just "crimped-in-a-vice". My car has a similar sized battery in the boot (and a high compression BD under the bonnet) with (just) twin 16 sqmm cables to the battery-cut-off switch on the dash. As your original starter uses alot of amps I would suggest you use twin 25 sqmm cables with properly crimped connectors. The advantage of twin cables is that they are easier to bend / twist to get from the boot to the front of the car than one very big cable.

Thanks for posting, some very nice old skool Mustangs. Who brought the MIG-21 ?
