problem is, connectors oxidise and corrode, once in the car id be empted to chop the ends off and solder & heatshrink thm together tbh. permenant and problem free.

yeah! when mine went the two cylinders that werent firing were thick with soot! cleaned up a treat though... if yours didnt fail near a waterway id be extra carefull when looking for cracks in the cylinderhead or worse, block.

yeah id have thaught heat output would be almost non existant! the usual alternator is rated at 43 amps isnt it? wont tollerate much in the way of a high wattage heater! not with everything running.

agreed, but if you leave your phone on charge plugged in, or your ipod... or i think she was talking about leaving a portable docking station plugged in, which youd probably leave connected, then i recommend having it on ignition, afterall its no trouble to turn the ignition on to inflate an airbed!

press the black against a bare bit of metal, preferably on the body.. though if the engine earth cable is go dthe engine block will do! then press the red wire on to each spade connector in turn, with the igntion on, and see which ones give you 12v... then repeat with ignition off and see which ones...

I'm actually quite concerned there. You weren't sure if it was 12 or 240 volt, so you went straight for the bigger more dangerous option. Even though ones dc, the other Ac. Don't do that again, incredibly dangerous

yeah rover v8's have been done... tbh im not that keen on them, dunno why. probably becuase theyre so common. i just like unusual mods!

exactly, but pinto and cologne are about as new as i like. im not keen on the sound of the zetecs these days. or the capacity! 1.4 isnt a big enough change for me, even if the performance increase is greater than the 2 litre pinto. i dunno i guess theres no pride in having 1.4litres of frugality =p ...

but those pintos can be modded into oblivion, and parts are super plentifull. its abit less common too, if you were gonna mod it that much, wouldnt you rather do somethign a little bit different to norm? and tbh i prefer ford parts to fiat. but thats just me. and ofcourse if your pspending that much...

mines a 63 deluxe and didnt have any as standard! have some ford belts fitted now! theyre a lil shortr than id like, but they work!

im with footman james, they originally quoted me at 600 something... but then i made up soem other quote for 410 and they dropped straight away to 360 no questions asked =/ the genuine other quotes i had were 709 with lancaster and 800 and somethign with endsleigh, event hough my uni is sment to get...

your not far from me, so if you want ill pm you the number of my old instructor, dudes names andy, nice guy and has a very high pass rate. hes probably closer to you than me anyway, hes from wolverhampton way somewhere!

well most moderns are set so that 90* is just right, anythign hotter woudl be slightly too hot and then the fan kicks in so is be temptd to set ti to somewhere between 90 to 95.... if you find that its not cooling down quickly enough then turn it down to 85-90.

doable though, cut it, throw it back and weld it up again.... provided you know what your doing. theres alot of minors with bulkhead alterations out there that are perfectly safe.

but its sooo expensive! would be cheaper to buy a dead sierra and take the 2 litre pinto with it! then fit it with twin webbers and job done!

That sounds like bl! Tbf though, if I had spent hours and untold amounts of hard work dropping a fiat in ky minor, with a sunvisor for some guy in orange cords to call it an affront, well is be majorly annoyed. He doesn't have to like it, but he doesn't have to insult it either, to my mind that arti...

Inverters give a noisey output though. Best run it through a band pass filter

How bout replacing the lot with electric? ;)

Wider steelies would be decent. No spoiler!!! And Tbf you very rarely need to go into 1st if your moving..... If you want quiet then put some good sound proofing down. I guess I just don't see the point in such intensive mods for minor gain. Now if you said fit a v8, well that'd be a different matte...

Lancaster quoted me £709 as a 23year old with a 7 month old license. Fj quoted me £360 so I can't fault them tbh.
