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).

Thanks, but I have just ordered some.

Thinking about it, I would have to re-site the cable, as the pop rivets will be in the way when fitting the wing to the wing rail. So may just be simplest to do it properly.

Was about to start a new thread but it's very related. However,my apologies if this is a hijack. I am ready to refit my bonnet cable, but the clips were all knackered. I have loads of metal p clips with the rubbery coating (for fuel and brake lines etc). Would they hold the cable firmly enough for it to work? Or am.i going to have to pony up and find some proper clips? Thanks

I wondered (i.e. hoped) you would 2-door it!

Interesting. My first car was a 1.1 Fiasco Ghia (cos I am classy). It was frighteningly slow on the motorway. Wish I knew the smaller Valencia engine was quicker! I hated motorway driving until I got a new car (Capri 2.0S)

Hiya, thanks for having a look. Are the controls (in particular the bit of mine that's melted) the same on mk3facelift and prefacelift? I might have a lead on the whole thing. But if the cables turn out to be no good I will take you up on this. Thanks

Great, thanks. I figured that had to be the case. I will crack on. Thanks again

Hi Should the bit highlighted in blue (that engages with the wiper arm) rotate independently of the bit highlighted in purple? It seems not on mine, but that means it will be rubbing against the bodywork of the car while the wipers are in motion. I would have expected the flats (highlighted in orange - I am good at this computer stuff) are to hold the fat bit still so it can't rub?? Or am I being simple? Thanks (pic "borrowed" from the internet)

Sorry for the slow reply. Seems there's 2 systems that are similar but not identical. My car is a confusing mix of the two, quite possibly due to the previous owner being a bodge artist and using anything instead of the correct part. But I have made up a set of new lines, which hopefully won't leak. Thanks

As the originals got a little bit melted I am in need of the heater controls (or just the melted part plus the cables), and the wide airflow thingy for the (I think) right hand side. Posted to Kent, please. Thanks.
