Just taken a look at the new Google Street View - and my Cortina is sitting on my drive! So I've just "reported a problem" (little button at the bottom of the Street View screen) and asked Google to remove my car from the view. No point advertising your car's location on the interweb.

Have you tried Footman James? They do laid up insurance for classic cars and insure modified cars (I'm with them). www.footmanjames.co.uk

If its the same as the mk1 Three rail boxes reverse is "lift" and across beside second gear (back).

Hi folks Is there anyone around Guildford area who knows anything about Brantz rally trip computers - I've fitted one to the Mk1 'tina - all wired in properly (cheers Mr Bird) but the speedo now doesn't work and the trip isn't counting miles! Help!!! cheers

Thank you! Now why doesn't it do it for me!!

It's Cortina Pub meet time again. 8.30pm onwards at the Marquess of Granby Pub in Esher. All Old Skool Fords welcome. Here's a map: >CLICK< (Sorry still can't get the link to work!!) All are welcome to attend, but please NO burnouts, etc, and leave the carpark in a sensible manner. We've been meeting at the MOG for quite a few years and don't want to have to find another venue 'cos of a minority. (Rant over )

When I fitted the 2000E box to my 1500GT pre-cross flow I had the centre of the bronze bush machined out to take the spigot bearing what I bought from Burtons - all seems to work well.

Its tonight folks! All Welcome!

This is what my 6j s look like - It's a bit difficult to say whether yours are 5.5j or 6 from your pics.

Nice one Escort21, thanks for that. Were they ever used on small engined mk1 Capri's?

Can anyone tell me what cars used the 3 rail 2000E type gearbox - not necessarily with the 2000E ratios just the same casing. 'Cos I've got a 2000E shape box with odd ratios which I'm trying to find out what it came from so I can sell it. It has basically the same ratios as a 2000E box for 2nd, 3rd and 4th but a low 1st gear. Any help welcome!

Guildford Radiators re-cored my Mk1 Cortina GT rad a couple of years ago - did a good job.

Thanks for the answers people! I guess it was too much to hope for somewhere closer than Heathrow!!!

They can't sell the plates without the car being MOT'd.
