    My 2 youngest and I went. As everyone was getting ready to leave the Show we went to video everything. Thought they were turning right, they went left. By the time we got turned around and through the traffic jam caused by everyone leaving, they had vanished, we never saw another car 😂 😂 Nice selection of cars, anything interesting is welcome not just Escorts. Enjoy the pics.

    Lovely. Honestly a pretty even mix of purists and modifiers here. I'd love to see more of it.

    Very very nice. Do get up more photos and spec when you can please

    Nice! Imagine they were sold here with like 70bhp diesel engines...

    Even if its not, its probably quite close and more importantly, consistant.

    My kid picked up a Temu/alibabba type dial version at the Market and the pencil type gauge shows up to 5 psi differences with it. 😆

    Nice collection. Questions welcome. Get up photos of the Escort, Capri and Cortina as a minimum 😁😁 And welcome aboard.

    I was a tyre fitter for 15 yrs. In my youth. Unless you are willing to pay several hundred pounds for an actual calibrated device, the answer is simple. Buy a mechanical gauge at a carboot, ebay etc. They are actually quite accurate. This or similiar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257640017353?_ul=GB&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338990947&toolid=10001&customid=eb%3Ag%3Avms%3Aeb%3Ap%3A257640017353%3B{GCLID}&adtype=pla&loc_interest_ms=&loc_physical_ms=1007901&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkt_UBhDMARIsALpnOAxVXmRjFeXTr5tuJ6Vo4jwGIMuEvph9jsXy5g-ra3gHUBM59AZG4RkaAt0vEALw_wcB

    Just to stir the pot. It would be removable....

    Maybe. One plan is to build a Bosozoku Style (temporary by using plywood or similar) stupidly large front and rear spoilers and skirts and like 6ft tall exhaust and go to a Cars n Coffee just being a tool 🙄😄😄 https://share.google/3w7nyP9KXvNhk4egw

    Nice car. Welcome aboard

    So it's insured again. And taxed. Test was to be tomorrow but my son needs to see a surgeon, at the same time but 2 hrs away so test got pushed back. First trip out to a local show was fun and fraught 🙄🙄🙂 First a wheel starting coming loose. A retighten sorted that. But then at the turnoff for the Show, in heavy traffic, I stalled it. This is when I discovered the battery is no good. Yah!!🖕😲😄 Was pushed off the road. Borrowed some leads for a jump start and got into the Show. Forgot on leaving to give back the leads so I contacted the Club to get them to him. All in all it was a fun day The car was not really ready to "show" but I wanted to get out of the house. It's getting lowered, painted and reshod over the Autumn! Cheers for reading it you made it this far.

    Welcome aboard! Do you mean the joint between the steering rack and the struts?? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/157696065103?fits=Plat_Gen%3AMK+I|Model%3AEscort&_skw=mk1+escort+inner+tie+rod+UNF&itmmeta=01M0J187T4TJRVX1CX4BJPGR24&hash=item24b76afe4f:g:V9gAAOSw-YVnTvLQ&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAABAGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCkjYbLy3VenSjZjsQ6hZRVzLCu3ME%2FzOJKz2LJbEWizluozRIF66j%2B2rBuiYNtnwTPk10UXsHiAZYEdQ8OG4z7GqDj5MSuM0geM%2BkYFsPHuIRpH8fS0ybVRFWbjEheUiPUbDNEvg7azFa6mQ8R6ywZpIFi44eOg%2BtuSwLFgmw4vkOs4oAoAHcg%2FUGXkSL0cXBO9XPIWej--M%2BfisfTXZ6UACjJyeu71Dcm6MPBZzwGejgToYT1FMU%2BZmfKGhzPHg8xl6K8RvZHEQZoCX4sr3CE62AXCu8KNVFYC1dRrAQwqU0s55Y46H%2BIhn4iF9zi0GM%3D|tkp%3ABFBMnP2gwYRo

    That Series A car transporter is class!
  17. quickrack
    Yep. Its a workhorse. I can put rubbish or dirty stuff, tools and materials in it and not worry about it. And its actually really low mileage and so far utterly reliable.

    The estate needed the gearbox oil filled. I had a little insulated pipe for a gas cooker and it worked well to avoid the squeezing stuff in technique 🙄🙂 Then I replaced this stud that was spinning in the hub. And polished the rust off the disc. I was about to do the other side but my son has hurt his knee and we are in the Minor Injury Unit now. A good clean and a certain amount of sticking the headliner cloth back up, two better tyres and it's testing time.

    Lots of 'Tina fans here. Welcome aboard
  20. quickrack
    That seems to have fixed it 👍👍

    Was looking decidedly sorry for itself so I've decided to do a tart up, repair etc on it. I knew it had a little rust so a certain amount of poking, cutting, swearing at it, patching etc occured. Nothing pretty as I will need to search out a pair of outer sills first. This will do to get it tested though.

    Yes. Blocked access for no reason I can see OR its a cannot connect to server/server timed out practically every second day.
