Underseals no better. :D

Hood vents on all 2018 models Will the '18 hood fit the '17?;)

I don't mean to be a smartass but the limiter won't do diddly on the overrun.

we have all been there, it shows you're trying.:D

Ouch! What happened?

Ok, my history as follows - 1974 Mk1 Escort 1300XL - rotten 1974 Mk1 Escort Mexico - rotten 1987 Ford Orion - rotten 1986 Ford 3 Door Sierra - crashed 1987 Astravan - crashed more than once, bugger refused to die. 1988 BMW 316 E30 (with a DGAV Carb from a 3L Capri- went well!) - sold 1992 1994...

At least the clutch is a straightforward job, what with it being rear wheel drive. Good opportunity to fit a Barton shifter!

It's mechanical then, has there been any noises? Whirring, bearing sounds? Also possibly could be something at the top of the pedal where it pushes the master cylinder in, unlikely though. If it's the lever that's failed or the release bearing gone through the pressure plate, it's probably just...

Sounds like either the release bearing has gone through the pressure plate or the lever has failed. It could be the slave, what's the fluid level like? If it's empty you might get away with topping it up and pumping the pedal to get some action back just to get it moving. Have a look around the...

Ian, I'm 30mins from Aberdeen and have a Magnetic V8 with Mach Solo XV and Velgens. Your more than welcome to have a gander and a run in it if you like but I'm not home for another couple weeks. PM me if you want.

Yep, something is drawing current for sure. I just left mine laid up for a month and it started no problem, cranking at the usual speed surprisingly. ive had cars with trackers before with no issues, worth checking the boot light isn't staying on.

Great write up as usual Gibbo, I think I'll probably go this route when replacement time comes. How bad are the discs for rusting when left static after washing? Any different from stock?

I just got mine 2 months ago and it appears to be no better protected than the early ones. :(

I really fancy getting all of this done, it looks great. If you don't mind me asking how much was it all in? Are they doing an exchange service yet? I'm at the other end of the country. :doh:

Thanks for that. Do Wilwood do a standard compatible front disc? I can only see the brake kits?

Enoch, where did you order your pads and Wilwood discs from? Cheers.

It could well be, mine is coated and I had trouble getting the plates to stick and I'm not convinced the black 5.0 badges have a particularly good hold either.

As Clarkson stated in his review, I believe they came from a polyurethane cow
