Hi all, Any recommendations for a good quality petrol pump for a 2L Pinto? I've normally bought parts from Burton but have heard on here that their quality is not the best. Many thanks, Pete

I remember going the other way with battery terminals when I was skint and found an old battery in the shed, I drilled holes through the round terminals on it to connect it up 😃 needs must when you need a car to get to work.

A new video from Tasty Classics, and it's a Cortina! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DIiYWRfYTCo

Hi, Thanks for the info, my carb is pretty worn out, even after a rebuild it hesitates and has flat spots. It's also weeping fuel around the bolt head which is underneath and between the fuel inlet and blocked off return. I'd also like version with the threaded in inlet, rather than the press fit version.

Hi all, I'm looking to source a new Weber 32/36 DGAV for my Pinto, is there a difference between part numbers WEB22680.872 and WEB22680.873? Can anyone recommend a good supplier once I know which model I need? Many thanks.

Possibly timing?

Has anyone been watching the Cortina stuff on this Youtube channel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9aew__T3o8&t=401s

I contacted them yesterday, they said that Pre facelift MK3s are a bit trickier but can be done, No issues doing later MK3s /MK4s and MK5s. https://easysteer.co.uk/

Hi, I've bought one with a white band, should it thread straight into the block of does it need a smear of sealant or some ptfe tape on the thread first? I'm wondering if it needs to make electrical contact to work properly. Many thanks.

Thanks Craig.

Hi, that's what I was hoping, at least I can rule out any problems in the rest of the circuit. I'm assuming that the sensor just acts as a thermistor between the gauge and ground?

Hi, is it possible to check the engine / coolant temp sensor by shorting the sensor wire to ground like can be done when checking the fuel sender? Many thanks.

A couple of shows that I've attended so far this year in the Cortina. Hayling island was a great place, right next to the beach! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA_B-tpbFs8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcwMWESdjvs

I sent the calipers off Tuesday afternoon and got them back Saturday morning! I just need to wait for the rain to stop and then I can get them back on the car :)
