Hi all, I’d be grateful for some electrical advice please. I’m ready to book an MOT – but the windscreen washer pump isn’t working. I’ve changed the pump, and tried a different steering column control, but no difference. I’m getting voltage at the pump when the control is pressed – but it’s only 7V which gradually works its way up to 8V after about 15 seconds. The pump itself works weakly if connected to a 9v battery. The fuse (no 1 according to Haynes but no 6 according to the glovebox handbook) seems to be fine, with clean connectors. So I think the problem must be somewhere in the wiring. And I’m guessing that it’s under the dashboard, maybe connected with an aftermarket alarm (now dead) that was wired in ages ago. But are there other things I can / should check? Would one of those non-contact voltage tester help? I’m not so sure because if 7V is getting through, that’s what it’ll show isn’t it? Should I try connecting a battery to the multi-plug on the steering column to see if 12v gets through when connected direct? Any advice welcomed! I'm feeling my way through this one. Thanks.

Hello all, I'm overhauling my brakes and am a bit confused by what the Mk4/5 manual says, which is: "the differential valve assembly was fitted to early Cortina models and has now been superseded by a brake pressure control valve. The removal and fitting... is similar.. but the brake pressure control valve is a sealed unit." There's a nice drawing of the valve, with 5 brake lines going in / out. But I can't find it anywhere on my car (a 1980 2 litre). All I have from the 3-pipe master cylinder is front left, front right and rear. Was the valve only fitted to certain models, as hinted at by other threads on here? Or phased out quite quickly?? Thanks for any advice. Neil -
Will these wheels fit a Mk5 cortina sensibly

Hi all, Could someone please remind me what gauge hose I need for replacing the short length of flexible hose into the fuel tank sender and at the engine end? I think the two pipes of the sender are slightly different widths? I couldn't find anywhere on here that said the gauge. Thanks. I'll be sure to get one that's E10 compatible.
