Thanks, I thought as much. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something

Hi all, I just bought a new rubber hanger and centre bearing for my mk3 cortina’s driveshaft and the guy I bought it off said that I should preload the bearing by bolting the hanger to the car with a 6mm spacer on the diff end then take the spacer out then bolt to the diff, my workshop manual doesn’t specify this, should I do it?

mine doesn’t sit that high, so that can’t be the problem, it only really does it to me on start up or if there is a rough gear change

Engine mounts are about 3-4 years old and it is hitting in the hole for the gear stick in the tunnel, it is the 3 bolt plate that secures the gear stick that hits the tunnel, my thought was the gearbox is sitting too high

Hi all, I have a mk3 with a 5 speed out of a Sierra in with the 2.0 pinto and whenever I start it the gearbox hits the tunnel around the gear stick opening has anyone else had this problem? I have a mk5 auto crossmember with a manual rubber bush

Cool as thanks heaps I will order the bushes

thanks I have one more question, since this bush isn’t mounted and only pressed in ( as a guess) how does it go with the caster adjustment as from what I can tell it will have a nut and washer each side of bush but if there was force onto the bush couldn’t it move in the subframe? Sorry might be a silly question

So the ones I have linked are the right ones for my application? The old ones are riveted or similar to the subframe the poly ones are just a standard bush? If they are I will look at rally design thanks heaps

Hi all, I am looking for some new tie bar bushes ( arm that adjusts the front caster ) on my mk3 pfl and I can’t seem to find much online for the early cars only the later mk3-4-5 there are flo flex ones I have found but reviews aren’t great and I have cone across super flex ones on the burton website but they look completely differant https://www.burtonpower.com/front-strut-bar-oval-hole-in-subframe-set-cortina-3-gran1-sf0590kss.html any help would be much appreciated thanks

How are the Sierra rails different? What would need to be done?

Hi all, I have a pair of good condition front seats out of a early Sierra wagon and I am wanting to put them in my mk3. I see original mk3 seat rails are not quite long enough for the seats, if I was to get Sierra seat rails would they bolt up to the floor of my mk3. thanks

I have just ordered a new voltage stabiliser, hopefully it will fix it

When I ground out the sender the temp gauge shoots right to hot straight away, so that means the gauge is still good?, where can I find the voltage stabiliser and test it?

Hi all, I am trying to figure out why my temp gauge is not working correctly in my mk3 pfl.all it does it raises from the needle stop and only moves the smallest amount. I have swapped the gauge over from my spare cluster, I have changed temp sensor on the head, I have continuity from the cluster to the sensor and it still doesn’t work, I have a VDO temp sensor hooked up which works fine. What could cause this?

Does anyone know where to get some door switches for the mk3 pfl like the one pictured, I have only found the ones that screw in not clip in
