    Should be L2. If you look at the I'd plt on drvs side of slam panel the box that says colour should say L2 which would translate as Atlantic blue. If not whatever is in the box check it against list top of this section or pm/email it me & I'll check.

    Make a C clip washer to slide into slots on clip.
  3. sheffieldcortinacentre
    It's a rectangular hole same as other side.
  4. sheffieldcortinacentre
    Yep the centre piece as per your pic? £8 Inc p&p

    All you can visually & physically measure it or take it to a machine shop/engine rebuilder & get them to do it. Then check against specs for that type engine.
  6. sheffieldcortinacentre
    Sorry for delay ,that is the correct way around. Sometimes reverse won't engage is the cogs are quite in alignment. Also if the gearstick is fitted backwards. Have you also fitted the E clip in the slot above the rubber cone ( although reverse if this isn't fitted reverse can be selected by accident rather than not at all).

    I'll try & check tomorrow.
  8. sheffieldcortinacentre
    No problem glad I could help.

    3mm

    You can swap imperial & metric stufs the spline is a different size too. Some RSv4:spokes require the flat type with washer ( definitely the MK1 escort these are correct style for MK3 cortina where as the fiesta supersport is correct one for MK4/5).
  11. sheffieldcortinacentre
    I'll see if I've one that's any good.
  12. sheffieldcortinacentre
    No problem I always happy to help with advice, parts, hands on ,etc. I'm not a business the name is a joke as I've 7 1/2 cortinas & 40 years (😱) of modding, restoring & general messing about with MK3/4/5/p100's.

    It depends on how those miles where accumulated if it was a lot of short journeys not really getting warm it could be worse than one that's done a high mileage. Normally an engine of this era would need a rebuild at around 70 k. The best thing would be a good service & a compression test. This is very simple job with basic tools & a Haynes manual. Plus if it's not had hardened exhaust valve seats fitted the 30+ years of unleaded & now the gnats q15$ that we're fobbed off with as petrol won't have helped Where are you located? Can give help.

    Sorry don't get online til evenings, nope only got a fuel gauge.
  15. sheffieldcortinacentre
    The other thing that will blow the oil cap off at higher engine revs is worn bores/rings allowing compression into the sump until enough builds up blowing cap off. Check with a compression test. If it's this then a rebuild or engine swap is only real cure. A temp solution would be a catch tank.
  16. sheffieldcortinacentre
    Ok I'll re check but don't think I've got a temp one. If not there same in all the ones with that cluster MK3/4/5 & MK2 escort.
  17. sheffieldcortinacentre
    Just to confirm it's fuel gauge as title says temp. We old people are easily confused. You can PayPal craig.walker6@btinternet.com then let me know address to send it to.
  18. sheffieldcortinacentre
    Got one £12 Inc p&p
  19. sheffieldcortinacentre
    As above
  20. sheffieldcortinacentre
    Yes I was referring to the single rail box in 4 or 5 speed flavour. The MT 75 shares no parts with the earlier type box. But the Speedo & clutch cables will connect to them. & the larger spline clutch is the same.
  21. sheffieldcortinacentre
    All I know is that there's 2 types/size of box & you can't swap the Speedo drive between them.
  22. sheffieldcortinacentre
    No it can be a solid rubber ring, if you have a look through my posts of last year you'll see I had a bad leak from the sender seal on my MK3 racer due to the E10 fuel& I made my own seal.
  23. sheffieldcortinacentre
    No the 1.3/1.6 Speedo gear wont fit the type 9. The one you need is from the 1.6 5 speed Capri unfortunately I don't have any details on number of teeth or colour of cog.. Only other way is to remove Speedo & reset needle approx 5 mph below zero when at rest this will then read roughly right ( the mileometer will still read wrong). The 2.0 one ( for 3.75:1 diff) & the 2.3 ( for the 3.44:1 diff ) are a straight swap just remove bung in tail housing & poke the gear out).
  24. sheffieldcortinacentre
    I've modded a few over the years by fitting a drain plug.
  25. sheffieldcortinacentre
    For what it will cost you might as well be do it. Large container undo sump bolts lowering rear end to let the blood bath commence then if I recall it's one bolt holds filter. Longest part will be refilling.
