mossy Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 All well and good when i brought it... Untill the headgasket went... So the tappets were out and i didnt know what cam was in it so couldnt set them... Worked them out and then the timing was out... Sorted the timing, roughish Nick pushrod came over and sorted it all out so it was running sweet...Noticed i had a water leak. Fixed the water leak.. Need a new breather thingy as mine is missing and now my starter motors packed up. Had it for 6months and 3months its sat not moving!

Gonzo Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Ford. Fix Or Repair Daily. It's an old car. You expect shit to go wrong. If you wanted something reliable, buy something modern and japanese.
bomber1 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 im glad i dont smoke otherwise i would have burnt mine earlyer
Ratters Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 you won't get a starter motor for something modern & japanese for £20 did you get the tappet issue sorted then mossy?
radar tech Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 all this talk of Cliffords & spededy spares is makin me homesick for sunny Saltdean
Tom Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 mate mine hasn't seen the tarmac since december!! not cos i'm a bufty and scared of the winter, but because i can't afford to. Its not going anywhere and once its all put right you'll be a happy boy with a reliable car
