strange, my camper insurance is with flux, no issues, i've frozen it twice and even got a refund when i changed storage locations and it made the policy cheaper, they email me a montrh in advance to give me the quote and option to cancle my renewal and email me a recipt for payment a few days before the old policy ends, then again to confirm the new policy is in force ect, cant fault them really ? TBH so many companys have work from home employees nowdays i think it matters if you get a decent one or not i have with my car insurance had to ask to speak to a supervisor and they had a totally different storey and sorted my issue immediatly (inc a small refund to cover my expenses) dont ever get insurance during the summer holidays !! one broker i spoke too had cartoons on in the background and young children screaming lol, i had to ask them to turn the TV down or pass me on to somone who didnt have kids, as they work on commission they they try hard (usually) to keep you with them, some obv lie thier asses off to keep the commission and some dont have a scooby about thier job, modern frikken life i guess ? i dropped my trade policy after a year of BS from my insurance after they closed the office and went 100% home workers, the level of profesionalism droped significantly, to the point i was getting letters about somone elses policy inc private info on this other person, to be fair he did have the same name as me, his wife had the same name as my wife and he only lived a mile from me but ,,,,

Nice, one of the rarer special editions

do you remember the reg? this is on a H and comes from the chigwell area ? it was rebuilt in the 90s from what i gatherd.

I think so mate ? TBH we got chatting . about prev mk2s we'd owned this was a 4 door but we got onto 2 door 1600Es cos he refused to believe they exsisted, i had to pop back there today with pics of one to prove it but the car was gone by then

i seem to have forgotten how to post pics on here it's been a while

popped in a mates garage today to drop off some spares and low and behold he was sealing the diff on this little beut, needless to say there went the entier afternoon chatting about xlows and 2 dr 1600Es

what was the donor vehical, it makes a bit of a differance RE the wiring. do a search on pinto EFi there are posts covering the subject

bit late to this but i just had to learn all this DIN Vs SAE on mates anglia, basicly DIN are flat on the inner face, the outer face is ni on the same (see pic below), it seems as long as the union matches the flair you can mix and match SAE and DIN unions as the threads are the same and the outer mating faces are the same or close enough to seal ok which is how a lot 60s cars are apparently (as i just found out), we basicly redid all the unions in DIN as we replaced all the brake lines and fittings. gotta say never knew half of this myself.

where are you earthing the temp cable ? just asking incase the small earth is missing on the rear of the head and the head isn't referanced to neutral ?

thats crazy ! like Craig says access is awfull especialy with a drill ! chemical metal repair ?

yup sometimes i'm embarrassed to admit i once proof read the entire factory workshop manual

idle it for 20 to 30 mins with water and dishwasher tablets in there, drain and flush with water a few times, if you have a condensing tumble dryer, use water from that. You need to get a head gasket test kit (about a tenna on Am or egay) and lidle do a good laser temp gun, usefull for checking stat temp operating ect, i think i paid £15 for mine ?

Check fuse 6 for resistance and check for green snot around the 2 bulkhead loom plugs below the fuse box, if you can pull them appart and clean the contacts, they can very! hard to pull appart. As an aside the haynes manual is an exact copy of the factory manual.

got to love the effort (or total lack of) they put into that advert ! probably waiting for somone to write the title for them they are probably on FB right now asking if somone can give them a link to a good title or am i just jaded about FB

cant really find the words mate,,,, .ing awsome !!!!! oh i found some words thanks for keeping the old girl alive and adding way more awsome that i ever could !!

any decent spares shop should be able to get one localy ? mine cant be all that differant, i walked in 2 weeks ago and bought a starter for a pre crossflow, took 6 hours to get to the spares counter from thier supplyer ??

Ashley does some good vids, this isn't one of them, the trouble with youtubers is the pressure to keep pumping out videos, usually pushing them into areas they are not really into, making for uncomfortable videos like this, he 's winging it and it shows/ Nice car mind you

fatrob83@hotmail.com what do you need to know ? it's been a while but i'll help where i can

stick in a vice and bend it, that's what i used to do

lips on the cap worn where the clip snaps over? i've loads of loose clips, just gave em a slight bending to tighten them up, mind you nowdays it could be a shoddy out of spec cap that makes them loose so give the clips a wee bending? as long as they snap over the lip they should hold ok ?

That is fooking awsome mate ! absolutly love it Ford will have kittens when he see's it

cool as a penguins dick that is mate !!!

Hi chaps i'm after a carb for a 997 anglia if anyone can help? it's not actually for a car it's in a boat, a 1960s river cruiser and the carb is shot, jets are seized in and it's a bit furry in the passage ways normally i dont mind a furry passage but in this case it's not helping sorry it's not a cortina part request but TBH i'd take anything that'd fit a pre Xflow manifold, this one will only idle, otherwise floods up (oh the ironly, a boat carb that floods)
