Hi As per the title, does anyone have a rod that connects the driver side door handle to the mechanism? Not the one from the lock to the mechanism. I have several Mk4/5 ones, but they are longer. Thanks p.s. it looks like mk2 Escort are the same as mk3 tina - can anyone verify? However Escort stuff is subject to Escort tax (and therefore stupidly priced).

Hi Tim Ive been selling cars off over last few years only got half of what we did have Still got these two Mk1’s KPU all done and running great, ive been using it a lot and enjoying it
-
Thank you, but thats the problem, its a 82 GL but there are alot of things that are different from standard. I bought DTM470Y from the brother of Martin who was very involved in the cortina scene. I think he up specked alot of things, it 100% didn't have intermittent wiper as i often said to the wife I would prefer that, and if I flicked down the stalk the wipers went once than turn off and the stalk would sit in the original position. I have bought two off ebay that look the same but are not, so I think I should wait until the one Martin fitted, there must be one out there somewhere.

If this is your original switch then either of the 2 below on eBay are the same ,as pins match their lower spec MK4/MK2 escort. The V0 number is just the casting number of the mounting bracket. 366454764565 237044389833 An 82 GL would definitely have intermittent wipe & be the one in my pic.

That's very expensive. Look for a lower speck MK4 one.

I think i have found one on line but the price is very high, hopefully I will see a second hand one.

Hi Rob, you must have enough LC's now to set up your own museum. Keeping yourself busy too.

Ive had the Ove Andersson car around 5 years here in UK
-
Just busy doing other things and trying to find best way to get it back to UK A pal of mine in Sweden collected the car 2 years ago and it was stored at his place i did bring it back last week with 2 other Cortina’s Not easy getting non running cars back from Sweden now ? Very expensive ?
-
Why did it take so long to get the cars back to the UK ?
-
Flick wipe the lever would spring back up when released, intermittent would lock when pushed down & wiper would sweep once every few seconds till switched back up.
-
Typo
-
Although it is not a crusader, she is a 2lt GL, I cant remember it having intermittent wipe but if i did flick it down the wipers would work just the once, is that what you mean by flick wipe? Thank you for looking
- Last week
-
Might have one let me check. There's only 2 types fitted to mk5s intermittent wipe or crusaders had flick wipe. Do you know which yours was? Mk3s & low spec mk4s only had 2 speed wipers .

I possibly might be thinking of a change so my mk5 might be up for sale.....let me know if it's of interest, the link below has many pictures over the years. Car is presentable but definitely not mint although interior is excellent and drives very well. BuySellCortina - The Ford Cortina Forum

This Mk3 came up in a google image search, it looks like it has escort bubble arches and a bit of a 70's jacked up look. DVLA says PRR418M is still a 1300? I can't find out much about it on't interwebs. Anybody have more info? PS. Great to see Bortaf back!
