Cheers matey! I'll do it all, just a shame it had to happen at xmas! Means it wont get done till 27th 28th and i need my motor before oh well lifts around it is

86 users and nothing lol. Thought id post in here as the tech section has had no activity all day, if anyones hot on problem solving, http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hp?t=31469

Ok, well, my mate came round, he put jump leads across and it fired first time, which i couldn't work out. After a day of messing around with just about everything, searching the ring road in town for my trumpet and aux venturi, they decided to fall out on me aswel today, i connected my starter motor (the spade connector jumps off itself) and felt it was all oily (my catch tank leaked all over it when it jumped off the last time it was driven) so i cleaned that and connected it, and it fired first time, albeit when it was warm though, going to test it again later, hopefully the symptomns i had can be related to starter motor problems, anybody?

There a cure? I sprayed dizzy cap with wd40 and tried to clean it a bit, but still got nothing, theres a lot of moisture around my bay though, damp/oil(my catch tank overflowed)/petrol so at a loss of what to do next....

Last night my car took ages to start after sitting for about half hour after a long drive, then left over night, it wont fire up at all. Will turn over, even made some random fast crackling noises but would not splutter or cough or fire at all. Is it from driving around all night in the damp fog or anything like that? Hope someone can be of help, cheers, Steve.

Best time of the year

Pretty sweet, i was expecting tits though

Thats awful news. Ah well, i'll still be there! You'll hear the whistling a mile away!

no no no no no. Why?

Will be there for sure, that trip in the fezza still on steve?!

Be warned,its a white knuckle ride Fantastic, can't wait!!

Count me in steve, as long you get the passenger seat back in and take us out in the fez

I had the same dilema when choosing for my pinto. Went for 40's instead of bike carbs. Know a few people trying this and it seems a pain in the arse to actually get it running properly. You can't beat webers, they were designed for fast CAR engines.

See i've always wanted a set of starmags but don't know about them on a capper. A nice set of cragars 5 spoke or starmag style would be lovely.

I'm liking that, nice one

I gave my motor the once over before and thought, "you know, maybe, you never know, it wont fail!" fook off will it not fail. And they have to mess with my carbs for emissions which will probably fook them up, meaning my RR sessions were a waste of f'ing time raaaaaaaaaarrr!!!

They'll find something, if they don't i'll give you the number of where mines at, then they will

Failure on.... Seatbelt Seatbelt mounting point Front light angle Tyre Tyre rubbing exhaust Suspension ball joint play many more things that i forgot because the tester talked for hours and is a bit of an annoying

Probably an old 200sx if I could pick one up for 500 that ran.

Check jets are correct and your O-Rings are not leaking.

Hey a mag feature would be awesome! Good idea. Only problem is I don't know how to approach that, best ask an experienced person. Any offers

Never mind. Lets all take a step back and review how ridiculous this all is please. Normal meets and DC = fantastic. Perhaps a one off meet for YOSF = Excellent. No-ones stopping a similar thing for OOSF. = Excellent.

Have you any idea what consttutes an Old Skool Ford in the context of this forum? No? then let me explain Typically, an English Ford first produced before 1980. All with with RWD with the exception of the Mk1 Fiesta. These cars were designed by people, not computers and wind tunnels they have style, character, and no plastic. Sierras have their place in this world, but not here http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hp?t=25872

probably a RR session.

Ditto. I can't see why people (person) are taking things personally. Its just a one off idea. Plus you say everyone is welcome, how come a D reg sierra cossie is not welcome on the site yet an E reg brookie is?
