My Dad said put your standard exhaust on before you go for the inspection and if they say anything thats how it has always been

regarding the exhaust just say thats how you got it if your worried and you dont know anything about it Or use the old a TVR from the factory is louder on tickover than any other car is even with a big exhaust It really does make me sick theres old women getting wacked on the head for their pension and people getting stabbed left right and center we are the ones doing the right thing and they treat us like the criminals

Sounds like the old bill was it traffic police they should go catch some proper criminals

One of me there with me old aviators on Thats one cool picture thanks for taking them mate

Thanks guys was nice to meet some of you from the site and have a good old chat

Met up with Dazza (Darron) Madmex (Kurt) Admex (Adam) And Paul who has a beige mk2 escort estate. I met them at Shirley S.E London and we went down to pease pottage to meet the other OSF's. All i can say is what a great day Here is some pictures and a video for you all Hope you liked them

Quality

Must be my lucky day i went to do an MOT with my dad and one of the mechanics heard me talking about escort mk1's and K&N filters and came back with one he had on his 3.0 capri which fits my carb aswell. So i fitted it this afternoon

The second hand ones seem to be making 30-40 quid so surely im better of to spend another 15 and get a brand spanking new one???

As above really guys i need one to fit onto my 1300GT 32DGV Twin Choke Weber Carb. Where is the cheapest place to buy them brand new? So far ebay is the cheapest i can find them: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... otohosting Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had to take my gearbox out as it was leaking and put all new seals in it and put it back in what a mission It took me about 6 hours altogether At least its done and i will be able to drive it a know the box wont blow up because its got no oil in it

Sorted the problem now new piece of wire from the negative battery terminal to the body work and job done Cant believe thats all it was That alot Tom i owe you one

Not to worry guys i found out they are the same dipstick and dipstick tube i just wasnt checking the oil on a flat enough spot

That would explain it then because i took that off when i was doing my engine bay and didn't put it back on

Also can someone with a 1300 crossflow mk1 escort measure their dipstick for me

Yes they do i saw it when i put it on the engine

Thats the fault i have to I start off my own little remix every time i turn my indicators on So do i just need to remove and clean all of the earth straps etc then?

It is the dipstick from my 1100 crossflow engine could that be the problem?

I have a funny problem well it might not be a problem but my oil light on the dash sometimes comes up upon hard braking or going around a corner fast my oil level is right upto maximum on the dipstick so thats not the problem is this normal or is my send faulty? Any help would be really appreciated as this is very annoying

Hi All I have a weird problem with my MK1 Escort and i cant get to the bottom of it i am running a standard dynamo and voltage regulator i have also upgraded to h4 headlamps. When i am driving with my lights on and the stereo on the stereo keep cutting out and coming back on also the charging light on the dashboard is up all of the time but pretty dim but it get brighter each time you put something else on (i.e: window wipers) It really is driving me crazy my idle is around 800-900 so theres no problems but it still has the fault even when driving at a constant 2000-3000 RPM. Has anyone got any ideas to what could be at fault or is it that im just trying to run to much stuff off of a dynamo? Any help would really be appreciated guys as this is driving me nuts

Cheers Mate
