bit late to this but i just had to learn all this DIN Vs SAE on mates anglia, basicly DIN are flat on the inner face, the outer face is ni on the same (see pic below), it seems as long as the union matches the flair you can mix and match SAE and DIN unions as the threads are the same and the outer mating faces are the same or close enough to seal ok which is how a lot 60s cars are apparently (as i just found out), we basicly redid all the unions in DIN as we replaced all the brake lines and fittings. gotta say never knew half of this myself.

where are you earthing the temp cable ? just asking incase the small earth is missing on the rear of the head and the head isn't referanced to neutral ?

thats crazy ! like Craig says access is awfull especialy with a drill ! chemical metal repair ?

yup sometimes i'm embarrassed to admit i once proof read the entire factory workshop manual

idle it for 20 to 30 mins with water and dishwasher tablets in there, drain and flush with water a few times, if you have a condensing tumble dryer, use water from that. You need to get a head gasket test kit (about a tenna on Am or egay) and lidle do a good laser temp gun, usefull for checking stat temp operating ect, i think i paid £15 for mine ?

Check fuse 6 for resistance and check for green snot around the 2 bulkhead loom plugs below the fuse box, if you can pull them appart and clean the contacts, they can very! hard to pull appart. As an aside the haynes manual is an exact copy of the factory manual.

got to love the effort (or total lack of) they put into that advert ! probably waiting for somone to write the title for them they are probably on FB right now asking if somone can give them a link to a good title or am i just jaded about FB

Ashley does some good vids, this isn't one of them, the trouble with youtubers is the pressure to keep pumping out videos, usually pushing them into areas they are not really into, making for uncomfortable videos like this, he 's winging it and it shows/ Nice car mind you

fatrob83@hotmail.com what do you need to know ? it's been a while but i'll help where i can

stick in a vice and bend it, that's what i used to do

lips on the cap worn where the clip snaps over? i've loads of loose clips, just gave em a slight bending to tighten them up, mind you nowdays it could be a shoddy out of spec cap that makes them loose so give the clips a wee bending? as long as they snap over the lip they should hold ok ?

That is fooking awsome mate ! absolutly love it Ford will have kittens when he see's it
