  2. Quick shift in a type 9 by any chance?
  3. Welcome to OSF Sam. Most of us have a good appreciation for lots of other cars! Did you say the Fiesta is for sale? Or you have already sold it?
  4. Thats poor Scott, I was just about to say the same, that is a decent SD card size! What excuses did they come back with?
  5. Go for it! what's the worst he says? No! Mind you if he is in Australia, the images might come over upside-down 😁
  6. Always the ways isn't it! - It's in a 'Safe place; no doubt Cheeky, but why not message that Retards Club chap and ask him to photo the pages for you as a huge favour? cant hurt I guess
  7. Might be a daft question, but have you already contacted TI to see if they have an archive of old manuals? Or, there is one for sale on Retards Club advertising it with the manual, might be worth a message to see if they can do you a favor and send you some images of the manual https://www.Retards Club.com/marketplace/item/782684012543088/
  8. Gate crashed a local VW 'Chill and Grill' show on Sunday, although it was open to all makes, there were only two Fords there, me and a Silver 105e - stupidly I forgot to take pics, there was some very clever and clean cars there, Khaman Ghia's, Notchbacks etc
  9. Welcome to OSF, The Escort looks good!! And we have relaxed over the years and not only RWD! Is it still running the 1.3?

    Type 9

    Hopefully all sorted soon mate
  11. Struggling to remember the name of the place I got mine made, if I remember I'll post here. These guys do all sorts, but I don't think they are cheap > https://www.baileymorris.co.uk/heritage-and-speed Burtons only seem to do single piece ones. These any good? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334987559514?hash=item4dfed0825a:g:GnIAAOSwtBVkvV1a&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8Hb4VYZU%2BDKVvX9hTGGPjQ9QU2VaaXZx14%2BrWFMFwVtDTVTc42spARR5%2FUhqJdO8rIAT0dfkLrXC%2BlrVka2INdlqyZSyQ4X%2F4ieEzDEZgGZQedOjG1ZOXREx%2FCH2gHo69i0BbuMplqLrDaYByumfplo67uqpYkWwNIpkaSdgQVS7JEcQdvqkxZR8CG9Bn0vDjFzpZVMg0hmXekq%2BKw8gcMi5jefAnCUeTvmQynioknJrgCYUTgTQ7yKYsqVISBdjpzNzqhzU7mlFhI6nJeoIZr7ZJfCb%2Fp%2BAqZuzZEb%2BoOQIRF0hWUv680E5E%2FWOxS1IzA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7K7g5LVYg https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/propshaftscom
  12. When idling from cold - The light stays on for a min or two until I've given it some revs and then it goes out once its woken up a bit
  13. Ha! Goosed! Cheers mate, OK, I've ordered a 60a one from Burtons to hopefully feed the 60ah battery that seems to be ok.
  14. OK, so managed to get the figures over the weekend. Engine off = 12.58v Idling from cold = 12.2 - 12.6 Under load = 14.02 - giving it moderate revs not redline haha Running with lights on = 12.2
  15. Welcome back! and Yes, this sounds like a great idea 😁
  16. Thanks mate, the battery is quite old, but it holds its charge fine and always starts ok, will do as Katana suggested later with the multi metre and check that for starters. As said, the Alternator is proper old so it could just be that, and the connections all seem to be sound, but will re-check. Its not the end of the world, just an annoyance really, didn't get home in it last night until nearly 10pm, and very apparent with the dimming/flickering headlights. 👍
  17. Cheers mate, will do and thanks Multi meter is in the other car which the Mrs has at work at the moment, so will have to wait until later to check voltage
  18. Cheers Katana, Red ignition light stays on for a bit when you first start the car after it has been standing for a week or two, but after a few revs or a few mins if idling it will go out. I'll check the DC volts later, will need a helping foot to rev the car whilst in the boot hahaha
  19. Cheers mate, I take it the new alternator cured it? I can see from the web link that it states it's 34amp are amps the same as Ah (amp hours)? https://www.gsparkplug.com/pca00100luc-lucas-remanufactured-18-acr-powerlite-classic-alternator-lucas-pca.html My battery is 60ah, and Burtons offer a 60A alternator, would logic suggest that would be more suitable for me? https://www.burtonpower.com/lucas-acr-style-60a-alternator-rh-mounting-acr60rh.html
  20. Morning all, So I'm not sure if my Alternator is on its way out or another issue, when driving at night and stationary with the engine running and lights on, they are dim and flicker, but when you rev the car they get brighter and the flickering stops. No other stereo or anything running. Could this be a sign the alternator is not putting out enough power to charge the 60ah battery I have in the boot? I have a really old - 20+ year old Lucas ACR type style standard alternator, not sure what the output ah rate is as there are no markings, the sticker has long perished. What ah would have been standard? I'm sure basic maths will answer the next question, but if I fitted a 80ah alternator would that fook the battery and cause problems? Thoughts people? Cheers
  21. Anyone else going to the Retro Car Evening (D&R Customs/House of Mods) meet at Hurtwood Thursday Evening? I missed the last one, but the photos on FaceShite looked like a cracking turnout. Hurtwood Park Polo Country Club Horsham Lane Ewhurst Green Surrey GU6 7SW https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hurtwood+Park+Polo+Club+Ltd/@51.1404103,-0.4314232,19.25z/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x4875c3ab03333485:0x7be6b84b0e59c765!8m2!3d51.1404724!4d-0.4307714!15sChJIdXJ0d29vZCBQYXJrIFBvbG-SAQRjbHVi4AEA!16s%2Fg%2F1q5blxc36?entry=tts&shorturl=1 **PRE-1995 CARS ONLY** **IMPORTANT!** Strictly no burnouts. This meet will not continue if people cannot leave sensibly, please respect the neighbours . Although we promote this as a Pre-95 meet we are not too strict on this rule if your car fits in with the event, we have loads of parking for newer vehicles if you just want to come and look. The restaurant and bar at the clubhouse will be open for us to use. Live music and food stalls on site. The meet will start from 6PM until people leave which is usually around 9:30/10 PM
