Thanks I had them out yesterday and warmed them with a blowlamp > when I next turned it over it tried to fire then wet the plugs again. I will have another go in a few weeks as working in London > Early start / late finish > Hopefully it will start as want to drive it soon. Cheers Malc

Thanks but its the same as when I parked it up. I will have a go in the next few weeks as want to start driving it for the Summer > more than likely I will strip it all down recheck static timing / firing order / spark etc. Cheers Malc

Hi All, I'm about to change the tyres on my Mk2 Cortina Savage current ones NCT3 / 185 x 70 x 13. the ones I am thinking on getting are either Yokohama A539's (if 70 profile available) or Nankank CX668 same profiles. Anyone using this size on MK2's ?? Ta Malc

Hi All, Looking for some tips on below. Escort Mk1 (RS2000 Engine) been sitting up my unit for about 18 months and not driven anywhere. I started it up around 3 months ago and only took 6 to 7 goes > which I thought was really good as have no choke cable fitted / coke flaps wired open. Went to start it last month and it just will not have it !!!!!! I have checked for spark and its there on all plugs / Electronic Dizzy fitted > new plugs fitted shortly before it went into unit. Thought it might be the fuel gone off > only about 1/2 gallon in tank > so went and got 5 gallons of shell V-Power. The plugs are getting wet with petrol. Timing has not been changed so same as when I drove it into my unit. I have stripped the carb and checked for blocked jets > all seem clear. Batteries fully charged and spins the engine quite quick. Apart from beating the engine with a big stick any tips on what to check next would be good. Ta in advance. Malc.

Del, Photos great M8. Had a look at your project and yes its looking the nuts will be good to see it next year. Cheers Malc

Ditto, John and Dawn have put a lot of time into these Summer shows over the years, and as always have come up with a top event. Today was no exception with a great turnout of cars with even the weather holding off until the cups had been handed out. Hope everone got home safe and sound with no added extras on there licences from the boys in blue. Looking forward to next year.

John Top man for sorting this out for many a year at Wingspan Club, without you this gathering would never have happened and most of the cars and owners would proberly never have met. Look forward to seeing you Sunday. Ta Malc.

Sorry Summers finished as it was the longest day today !!!!!! But agree Boxhill needs visiting soon. Ta Malc

Hi John Count me in as last year was the bo**ocks.

Hi All, Can you help out here. My sons girllfriend entered him for Mr Crawley 2011 as a bit of fun. This is due to end on 5th Feb and he is between 1st and 2nd place as votes change per hour. The prize is a free photo shoot and maybe a contract at the end. Can you go to www.thisissussex.co.uk go to Search and add Mr Crawley 2011 and add vote for Andrew Hamill. Ta Malc / Savage

John Thanks for organising last nights meal at the Ram Club really good menu and beer. I was surprised how cheap it all came to considering what we had. Top man and thanks again. Malc and Sue P.S Have a Merry Christmas and see you at the Wing Span in January Catch up for soon.
