Re: Spotted today.

Anyone who sees a car on a public road can see its registration mark. The difference is if you wanted to find a registration no for, lets say, a white traveller to clone - you wouldn't hit the roads looking, but would jump on a specialist website or google images.

Re: Body shell salvage

Thanks all. I'll have a look at the bulkhead, I'm sure it's gone in the top corners. I did think about the rear window surround, I'll have a look once I've taken the glass out. I'm assuming it's worth keeping all the fittings? ie, handles, hinges, switches Yes its me looking for the bulkhead... the...

Re: re reg

You mean a bit like how a vehicle I have has mysteriously become subject to the LEZ in London over the last few months, despite having a letter me having a letter from 2013 saying its out of scope? The vehicle types affected by the LEZ haven't changed

Re: Speedo Cable Replacement - Ford Type 9 ‘box

Some T9 boxes are fitted with an angle drive between the box and the cable itself - so there may be an intermediate step - but the speedo cable is secured to the type 9 with a circlip, remove this and the cable comes away

Re: Cylinder head is coming off!

Don't worry about the order you undid the bolts, just make sure they are done up according to procedure

And as Phil says, remove the studs and it should all then move
