I saw a white Mk1 Escort with ribbons on it outside the local church a couple of years ago, waiting for the happy couple, I bet she was thrilled!

General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?
« on: 30 May 2022, 09:36:56 »A water filter is a revelation, until the media gets saturated, then you wish you'd just paid someone else to do it...but where's the satisfaction in that?Washed it. Sun came out. Streak central.
Should have also dried it.

I am having a clear out, and if you can pick it up THIS WEEKEND you can have it.
3.2 Elite Auto box, from 105,000mile car, seemed to work ok before it was removed, dry stored since
Sunroof, was working before being removed.
Various random bits of beige trim, heater box etc may have already been put in the wheelie bin, but you can poke about in there if you want to. Doors, switches, seats and dash have already gone.
I'll be around Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning by arrangement.
I won't keep anything for you, or post it, unit has to be cleared by Monday, and then it will be gone.
Thanks.

« on: 19 May 2022, 16:36:57 »Won’t be long before someone says good Omegas will command high prices. Oops I just have!sshh, don't tell anyone, I might be able to tuck another one away while they are still cheap...the good thing about today's future classics, is that you can actually enjoy a long road trip in them, as long as they are well looked after. I'm not sure how far I'd want to go in a 4 speed non-AC equipped plastic seated Mk1 Escort these days....
When everyone is driving economical, ele tric cars that are speed governed, old luxurious gas guzzlers will be highly sought after. The only problem might be living long enough to see it happen. Our children will though.

« on: 19 May 2022, 16:26:51 »Washed & polished the RRS next job is to feed the leather would have done it today but run out of balm, ordered some off the bay.What make do you use? I was told that anything with natural oils will work, and there are lot of claims by detailing companies about their products which make it a minefield.

Omega General Help / Re: Recommended brand for X30XE head gasket set
« on: 07 May 2022, 17:46:52 »Thanks for the advice. I think with alloy heads new head bolts are a must. I have reused old ones on my own cars with no issues that I'm aware of but it's a bit risky.I believe if they are stretch bolts, which are usually torque + angle set, they should be replaced with new ones.

Thanks, we have a Tech1 with the appropriate (Lotus) cartridge, but I don't remember seeing any ABS diagnostic options on the menus, but will check next time I have one plugged in.
