No problem Thanks

How would they work out, would you need to change all the locks/ignition My 83 mk5 1.3 has one key for the doors/ignition and a separate key for the boot, both are cut keys(non original)

Thanks Craig, I see 93 mm as a search of the internet, But may wait till I have time to remove one to measure properly

Hi folks, By chance would anyone know off hand, I wish to replace the ball joints on my mk5 cortina, it is a 1.3cc Is the correct tread length 93mm or 103 mm I was given two options yesterday when trying to order them and don't wish to do any dismantling just yet until ready to fit new ones Thanks Denis.

Great work there Deano Up to your usual high standard

A survivour Great to see that the car has many years of use ahead of it Well done

Lovely mk5 Bring on the summer

If your a member of the Mark three owners club Luke you will get a discount from express steel for these items. To get them second hand might prove difficult as this area of the car can be prone to rust.

On speaking to the guy he had no fittings going with the louvre. Thanks John. It may be worth having the details should a one come up again with no fittings included..

I decided against it as there are no fittings included with it, In time a louvre may surface with fittings included Thanks for the comments anyway

Hi Folks Would like to hear any opinions/thoughts on louvres made up of fibre glass I am on the search for a while now for a mk5 louvre and came across the following, The Autoplas brand are very scarce to come by these days. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/387646726192 Thanks Denis.

Great project going on there Martyn, the finishing touches looking very well.

Best of luck with the project, I do like a mk5 in this colour

It's a brilliant gift Craig, I have a work colleague with Autism and his facts and figures are remarkable and an incredible memory also. I also know have the pleasure of knowing a schoolboy who is a neighbour here close to me with the same gifts. Your knowledge of cortinas is a great benefit to this site and everyone on it. Thank you. Denis.
