Thanks very much Simon, I appreciate that. I also know how much hard work, you and the other contributors put into making the magazine.

I realise that there is a section for specific questions / comments for Classic Ford magazine items. I've posted in that section before, and I've also emailed the publishers on numerous occasions, but what I'd like to know is does anyone else suffer with delivery problems. I noticed a post on here on December 4th saying the current issue was available in shops etc, but my subscription copy still hasn't arrived. If I'd bought it in Tesco I would have had it 2 weeks!

Simon, Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I find it hard to believe that you have no say over the magazine subscriptions. Mark

I still Haven't received mine. After my first post on here on the 9th October, I was told to email subs, which I did. I've now just sent my third email to them, and the latest reply is telling me there was an error at the printers and that it was despatched on the 15th October and I can expect to receive it by the 19th. if I'd bought it at the newsagents I would have had it a week. Its not a very good attitude by the Classic Ford magazine staff to just say email the subs dept. I think they should have more interest in their customers and ensure that these problems don't arise again. When my subscription is due for renewal I'll have to consider whether to renew or just purchase the magazine from the newsagents.

For years I've subscribed to various magazines, such as Street Machine, Custom Car, Classic American etc, and also Classic Ford. There are 2 reasons why I do this. Firstly it generally is a bit cheaper than buying it monthly, and secondly you used to get the current issue before it was available in the shops. Is there any reason why now I can see Classic Ford in the shops, before mine is delivered?

I was looking through a Classic Ford magazine and it says the 2.0L zetec was available as a Silver Top in the 1993 - 1996 Mondeos, or a Black Top in 1996 - 2000 Mondeos or 1998 - 2004 Focus. Which is the best/easiest to put into a Anglia 105e? I realise that parts will have to be changed and fitting kits can be bought from Retro Ford.

I'll give them a go, see how much they'll buy them for.

Has anyone tried selling a mobile phone to one of those websites like Mazuma. I have a 2 year old iphone 5 and a Blackberry Bold. Any suggestions as to best ways of selling them?

I'll be there, See you on Sunday.

What car are the water pipes from?

No harm in sticking it up here as well. Looking at selling it so I can get another OSF.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Other than ebay can anyone recommend any other websites for selling a classic car (not an old skool Ford).

Having looked through all the contenders, I'd say you deserve to win.

Im looking for a set of bolts to fastem the rear bumpers brackets to the car body. Or does anyone know what size bolts they are.

Thanks guys.

I've got a slight oil leak on the rear seal of my type 9 gearbox. Once the propshaft is off, is it easy to take the seal out, and replace it?

Thanks Jo for everything you and Ali do,

Thanks for all your advice, I've decided to stick with the pinto. If anyone knows where I can get some twin 45's let me know.

OK Joe. Better look for some twin 45's.

thanks for your views, its given me something to think about.

Trying to decide which way to go next so thought I'd ask for your opinions. At the moment the Anglia runs a 2.0L pinto with stock bottom end (205 block), but its had a big valve head fitted and R131 cam. It also runs twin 40 Webers. My best 1/4 mile so far is 15.2 seconds. The question is what do I do next? keep this engine in and swap the carbs for twin 45's, and rebuild the bottom end. Or swap the engine for a 2.0L zetec with bike carbs. My goal is to go a bit quicker but also have a set up that is reliable on the street as I use the car regularly.

I've managed to order one from http://www.oldpartstore.net and a set of bolts from http://www.mcmotorsport.co.uk.

I've just looked on their website and I couldn't see any. I'll give them a ring.

Just took the car out for a run, and the water pump pulley broke. Can anyone help me locating a replacement. I think one of the bolts is missing as well so I could do with one, or a set of those. Thanks.
