Yeah, ditch the wheels as fast as you can, get a fiesta driver to buy them

Well after trying, we discovered that the plug from the existing loom did not want to play and the one on the engine was the one that had everthing running sweet, strange that but hey, it works. All I have to do now is remove the old plug and tidy up the wiring.

Help needed.
I fitted a replacement engine (1043) in my CL.
Came to connect all the plugs and found an extra one. On my original loom, the 4 pin plug that goes to one side of the SPI system came directly from the loom. When I went to plug it in I found one already in there, coming from the small ...

Just wondering about this and would it be the difference between LHD and RHD cars?

The story so far. Was after this Polo after it was seen as not being used about a year ago, was told it was being kept for the ladies son. Out of the blue I geta phone call and she asked me if I was still interested. I said 'Yes, but why now? MOT failure, nothing serious, just a broken front spring ...

Well it's done now. Didn't just use GRP, rivetted in a sheet of 16 guage galvanised steel first, had to panel beat it a bit to get it to the right shape, Dum Dum sealer in between and then 2 layers of GRP with tar matting over the top just to finish it off.

Hey everyone and a Brill New Year to you all.

Right, started work on the Mk3 I aquired just before Xmas, struggled to get battery out, seemed rather large, it was, bloody 55AHC for diesel no less, had to turn it on it's side to get it out. Anyway, it was duff, probably because all the electrolyte ...

Thanks for the replies guys. Mine is a square headlight job so deffo a Mk3
David, I guess it will be OK to fit the smaller thickness discs, I'm planning to fit the Mk1 refurbished calipers anyway, that's if the mounting is the same so fitting the Mk1 discs should not be a problem.

Jon

Magic thanks for that.
With regard to the brakes, would the disks be the same size?

Jon

Between a Mk1 and an H reg Mk3? (is an H reg a Mk 3?)

I'm interested in the brakes and suspension. What parts are interchangable and what aren't.

Disks, front shocks and springs

Also what would be the cause of excessive brake pedal travel apart from the obvious air in the system?


Cheers

Got a complete unit you can have for not many pennies plus P & P if you like, worked fine when removed from car

Cheers

Ain't really watched that, but are there any details of how to apply, for my son , not for me I hasten to add. I'm more of a q-car street sleeper look myself.

1 year older than mine, but in much better nick. Hopefully mine will look as good when it's completed.
Any good paint shop will be able to colour match your fade colour, I don't mean for them to do it for you, but they will match it with a chip and then tell you where you can get that paint or even ...
