What sort of price are odd ones of these worth, i bought a job lot of 7 a while ago but i only want 4 so will have 3 odd ones, they have been used on a tarmac rally car, bit scruffy to look at but all straight, any ideas?

John JRE uses a local guy called alvin powell for his rolling road sessions, based in saltash at gilston road or as suggested Mark Shillabeer at newport ind est launceston SRD

i aint putting in an offer if theres no photos of the garage !!!

At end of stage 2 peter lloyd was in 3rd place behind a mk2 escort in 1st and a toyota starlet in 2nd place, however due to dry sump belt failure steve leonard in his 2.5xe JRE escort had engine problems. top 20 final results were 1st 1 2 Peter Lloyd & Theresa Fossey Subaru Wrc S14 E 00:10:04 01:17:27 2nd 2 76 David Kynaston & Chris Beer Audi A3 E 00:10:18 01:18:21 3rd 3 1 Steve Furzeland & Yvonne Furzeland Subaru S8 WRC E 00:10:29 01:19:35 4th 4 3 Martyn England & Ian England Mitsubishi Evo 9 E 00:10:41 01:21:27 5th 5 5 Adrian Brown & Chris Jarman Ford Escort RS D 00:10:46 01:22:50 6th 6 6 James Harvey & Ben Harvey Subaru Impreza E 00:10:41 01:23:20 7th 7 11 Dave Parnell & Pete Bold Subaru Impreza E 00:10:57 01:24:52 8th 8 10 Spencer Chard & Tim Babbage Subaru Impreza E 00:11:01 01:24:56 9th 9 14 Alan Thistlethwaite & Mick Klein Aston Martin Vantage V8 D 00:11:06 01:25:33 10th 10 13 Paul King & Alicia Miles Ford Escort RS C 00:11:14 01:25:56 11th 11 23 Chris Bird & John Sullivan Ford Escort D 00:12:26 01:27:24 12th 12 29 Danielle Furzeland & Jason Parsonage Ford Escort C 00:11:19 01:27:26 13th 13 52 Rob Sartin & Martyn Holt Peugeot 205 C 00:11:35 01:28:10 14th 14 50 Scott Barnes & Andy Hall Peugeot 106 Rallye B 00:11:50 01:28:21 15th 15 20 John Walker & Carl Sorenson Ford Escort MK 2 D 00:11:28 01:28:26 16th 16 28 Colin Price & Philip Cook Darrian T9 D 00:11:42 01:28:50 17th 17 21 Kevin Harris & Peter Creamer Ford Escort Mk1 C 00:11:17 01:28:54 18th 18 31 Tony McCarthy & Matt Power Talbot Sunbeam C 00:11:38 01:29:47 19th 19 40 Paul Davey & Tamsyn Davey MG ZR B 00:11:46 01:31:20 20th 20 75 Chris Jones & Moira Jones Mitsubishi Evo 1 E 00:12:01 01:31:22

just an observation at this point and by no means trying to blame anyone or pass blame or protect anyone, the sale of goods act as in "fit for purpose" in a way he isnt at fault as the good he sells are for modified and competition cars which you is why you by them cos std parts are not upto the job and "will fit" if you have the combination of parts in place prior. Surely you cant expect him or his staff to know of every possible combination of parts which thousands of people have all done different to suit our own tastes and driving style. Yes they should at least say to you that it "MAY NOT" fit a std car without some tweaking, as for the doris with attitude i would take a drive up there and shove the phone up her ass regardless of the 300 mile round trip!!

Cracking event been there many times over the years, know a lot of the drivers doing this event as well, Peter Lloyd has even made the journey down from bridgend

Rear qtr window rubbers never fit properly no matter where you get them from, get a good quality 2nd hand set or spend top money for ones that fit

The 3 piece manifolds wont fit without modifying the servo tower, they normally recommend that you use a wcxm as well however i have fitted a 3 piecer with a servo tower and all i had to do was bend in the side of the tower to clear but i was running a wc, problem is nowadays all these parts we buy are NON std and nearly always need fettling to fit properly, only tonight i dropped in my new engine but found that the back plate to the air filter hits the bulkhead but hey ho its one of those things, you would expect with a £5k motor it be fine but ford never fitted a fuel injected XE in a mk2 with chassis mounts

my cage is bolt in SD cage with door bars, the main loop touches the lip by the door catch and its really close to the front pillar about level with the dash panel. To be honest ive spoken to Anton at JRE Motorsport and he said he has never had a cage fit properly without having to fettle it in both Mk1s and 2s

makes me wonder if i can fit the new engine, fuel tank and platform and mot and tax it in time but i think i be hoping a bit!

Historic Motorsport? or Historic Rallysport? they are 2 different companys

For those of you with 2dr mks who want some practical yes nice looking door panels but dont like the alloy panels. I ordered some plastic door panels from Historic Rallysport the other day and they arrived next day, they are 3mm thick black plastic and have a fake pattern on them so dont look to out of place, come complete with the plastic clips to fix to the door, no extra drilling of your doors either, no holes for winder or grab handles but the pattern shows you where to put them if needed, come as a complete set of 2 fronts and 2 rears, £120 inc the postage and vat, would recommend them to anyone

Did you have a 3rd party in on the meeting as a witness? and im sure you have to sign to agree the reasons for the warning and have right to appeal if you dont agree with it

Anyone needing help with windscreens in Plymouth or surrounding area drop me a line, Wether it be Old school or modern bonded glass, 15 years experience on a wide variety of cars of different eras, Chevys, Pontiacs, Mustangs, Osfs, mercs, Facels plant glazing, road cars and rally cars, not much i havent done over the years, prefer to stay local unless you want to bring to me or cover my fuel for coming to you, second hand glass also fitted for those who dont have insurance cover on your dailys, years of experience on glass removal for body shop work, drop me a message with your enquiries all work is done to the high standard i would expect on my own car and priced so as not to break your back pocket

breaking the screens is nothing to do with the rubber! get a pro to fit it job done

try GSF for bosch wipers, i got 2 the other day for a bmw 22" with a spoiler and a 19" for under £16 inc vat so a couple of std wipers will be cheaper

im sure whilst looking thru the compbrake catalogue other day they do a front hub to fit the capri strut with a 5 stud fixing, be worth a look

the input shaft can be cut down if its the 2.8 version

if your not a fan of chrome you can buy black insert, as for the tool slipping out get someone to fit it who knows what they are doing, and there is only 1 screen for a mk2 escort unless its an estate or van then you use a mk1 screen. Variation of tints are as following Clear Bronze Green Bronze with blue top tint Green with blue top tint heateds only come in clear

the car had a ViC check before i bought it and the price i ask for it will reflect in the fact its a damage repairable

i got one of those for my work van. gets me lots of texaco points which make free petrol tokens!

hope the commute to work isnt to far what with fuel prices going up all the time!

Sept 07 i bought a passat est which i knew was damaged repaired i didnt mind as the guy has been doing them for 20 yrs and is well known, plus at £2k under book i didnt mind, its been for 3 mots since and it was onlly on the 2nd test i took it for the tester asked me if i knew it was damaged, its only cos i know him well that he mentioned it, this year im getting rid of it so i need to find out if by law i have to declare it to them or if its down to them to check it themselves.

usually they are only inserts, why done you contact people who made them and see if they can supply std inserts, then simply knock them out and new ones in

std metric wheel nuts, but obviously get some nice new ones not the manky normal nuts, sunbeam and escort use same stud pattern but check your offset
