johnny boy 159 Posted January 5, 2022 Can someone help me 🙄 It was some time ago that I stripped down my 1965 Mk1 Cortina, and I can't remember what holds the headlight bezels in place, other than the screws at the bottom, there must have been some type of clip at the top, to hold the top in. Has anyone got a picture or describe them , do I know what I looking for in my box of bits 🤔thanks Johnny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have become disillusioned with the club spares, when I asked questions about parts I was ordering ect, I never got a reply, even when sending twice. I found some on Ebay in the end and ordered them. Its a shame, as I have bought lots of parts from the club shop, and that always works well , and gets sent quick. I just had no joy emailing Bob , and getting a response. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair to Bob; he does have a full time job too so can't really pay enough attention to everything, so hits the main requirement of sending out parts to keep the cars going. I have offered help where I see gaps in the service offering but nothing followed up yet. I would like to see the parts database updated with proper pics & have a quality control process going for reproduction parts. Saying that I always get a fast response from Bob - probably as I have history. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy 159 Posted January 6, 2022 I found it quite infuriating, not getting responses for my emails, that said I have not had any problems with club ordered online parts, if no questions needed asking. I understand the fact he has a full time job , and does the spares department in his own time, but I still need confirmation, or information on parts I wanted to order. It good you volunteered to help out, I know clubs are run by a few very dedicated people, and the rest don't help, it must be frustrating for the few. What happened to the club forum ? Facebook frustrates me 😒 Rant over , I expect I'll rejoin.🙄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy 159 Posted January 7, 2022 I don't think so , I rejoined online, it ran out in December, so I'm guessing it just renewed, rather than new member. I'll see what transpires 🙂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It frustrates everyone I expect as it's so clunky to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy 159 Posted January 8, 2022 I need to order some parts for my refit , rather from the club than eBay, but I can't access the parts from the club until I'm cleared for renewal I guess. Any Idea how long that will take ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
