Thanks for your reply Steve. I am in Chislehurst, Kent.

Thanks for your quick reply Jowett javelin. I will check out all these at the weekend.

Sierra Type 9 5 speed box is grating in 2nd gear. It doesn't jump out of 2nd, so I suspect it is synchro. Would I be right in thinking that it is the synchro that has gone? What would be the rough cost of repair, and any recommendations where I could get it done? I would dearly appreciate quick resp...

I have got an interior mirror with a fitted clock by Smiths and would like to get the old glass remirrored as it is marked with age so needs remirroring and clock serviced. I have searched the internet for hours to find any suitable company. They all seem to do other things rather than repairing Smi...

I have a 1275 Marina engine fully reconditioned, and wish to up the horsepower. I am told a different camshaft would achieve this but that it would also tick over lumpy. Is there anything I can do to gain more horsepower without my car ticking over like a building site dump-truck? I would sooner lea...

Hi Panky

Kind regards

Just had it fitted by garage, so don't know what air filter they have fitted but please could anyone tell me what air filter I could fit to make it sound quiet. All ...

MY FRIEND HAD A MORRIS; ITS REG NO IS GFE 297 THINK YEAR IS1953.
HE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF IT STILL EXISTS.
MANY THANKS TO ANY ONE WHO CAN HELP

a special thanks to Phil and BMCcosse for your invaluable advice, which I will be acting on and steer clear of the maestro engine. In the very near future I will let you know what configuration I have finally decided on at the end of the day; now I have all the information I require I can move forwa...

thanks so much for your indepth reply which is invaluable to me. Could you please tell me the engine that I am looking at that I am told is an ital 1300 A+ has the numbers etched in the block under the number one plug start with a letter K then numbers which I cant remember what they are. Could you ...

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, WHICH I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH. However, whilst I am aware of the extra work involved, I would like to put an A+ engine into it as I have been told they are a lot stronger. On your suggestion of a photo, if I do make my mind up to have another look, I will send you a photo. Kind...

MY PROBLEM IS I AM A COMPLETE NOVICE, AND WENT TO BUY AN A+ ENGINE When I looked for the engine number the only number I could find was stamped on top of the cylinder head at the side, left hand side front of engine, looking in from the bonnet. I cannot remember the full number but it definitely sta...

please can anyone help? With an A+ 1300 engine and a new radiator, would it be advisable to fit an electric fan? I don't want to get stuck in a traffic jam in the summer and get my new engine boil over and be ruined. If electric fan is the way forward, what type do you recommend and where can I buy ...

Please could you give me some advice on choosing a differential I have a 1300 A+ marina engine and a Ford Sierra 5-speed gearbox. Any advice on what would be the best ratio diff to use. I like a bit of speed but not keep changing up and down the box. I would be grateful for any information. Thanks LIZ

I have a 1300 A+ Marina Engine; my gearbox is 5-speed Ford Sierra, and I want to fit another back axle. The car is a 1962 four door saloon. Can anyone recommend the best diff ratios to fit in this car? And what is the best back axle to fit? Thank you all. Hope to receive some good replies. Happy mot...

Thanks very much for your advice which is greatly appreciated.
Without your help there would be a lot of people still struggling.

I am in the process of having a MARINA 1300 a+ engine fully reconditioned and I was wondering if it is possible to fit a starting handle dog to the front of the crank as was there when it had a 948cc engine? I did not want to have a front bumper with a hole in with no purpose. If this alteration can...

Thanks all for your advice.
Very useful and I am taking on board your recommendations.
