  Does anyone out there happen to have a battery catalogue modern or old (e.g. an old Lucas catalogue possibly from the '60s or '70s)? I need to find the battery code for a 1957 Ford Anglia 100E that I've just purchased (NOT to be confused with later, reverse window Harry Potter type). Or maybe

  ) and increasing numbers of time in the evening ( 2-6 ) Ford dealer has hooked the car up and tested for 2 days and the fault didn't occur.

  I read the messages about VW dealers with horror. in the last few days I posted some comments about rapid wearing tyres on my Mondeo. The local Ford dealer, who supplied the car, in Irthlingborough, said they could not look at it when I went in last Friday, but agreed to take it in the next day

• Ford Escort - Bouncing Speedo! 21 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, I've just taken a '96 (N Reg) (96k miles) 1.6 Ford Escort for a test drive and discovered that the speedometer bounces around by about 5-10mph. I've heard that this can be due to worn differential bearings and that the only way to solve it is by replacing the whole gearbox. Is this true
• Car Warranty 3 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  I am on the lookout for a newish 2.0 litre Mondeo (pref diesel). However I am still a little confused over the Ford warranty. If I buy a year old Mondeo will it definitely come with the balance of the three year Ford Warranty. If it is slightly over a year old will it depend on if it has had it's
• heater matrix - 1992 Ford Escort 1.4 15 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  of these, and is it possible for an amateur to do - Haynes manual makes it sound 'relativly' simple - the garage is quoting £150+ just for labour. Also how much is the part itself gonna set me back (i got a Ford spares near me but they close early fri - typical!!) I appreciate the cooling system needs to be drained, but its
• Mondeo Cam Belt 10 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  My brother has a 1999 1.8 Mondeo with 62,000 miles on it. He wants to keep it for about 4-5 years i.e. another 50,000 miles. He is keen to consider changing the cam belt, as he can get the benifit of it. Also a snapped belt is a disarster. Five Ford dealers in south Essex all quoted about £320
• Transit connect TDCI problems 2 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, My mate has not seen his year old transit connect for the last 6 weeks as it has been stuck in the local Ford dealer for repairs.

• Disputed MOT 16 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  My Galaxy failed its MOT yesterday at the local Ford main dealer ("significant braking effort recorded on all 4 road wheels even though brakes are not applied") - which I thought was a load of bull as I'd have noticed it in everyday use, plus the computer would have shown increasing fuel
• Ford 6 disc CD changer 30 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I have removed the factory fitted Ford 6 disc changer from under the front passenger my Escort prior to sale and will be installing it in my Mondeo. I have noticed that the unit has quite clear markings on either end stating which way up it should be mounted, in this case the markings show
• Ford KA - Tappets hot or cold ? 18 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  The advice from a Ford Master Techician is that the tappets on my KA engine should not be adjusted when cold. I have always adjusted the tappets when cold as stated in my manual. At his chain of dealerships it is common practice to run the engines through an engine flushing procedure using Forte

  The other day (not much on the usual channels) we watched an episode of "Scotland Yard" from 1960, black and white footage of London as detectives solved a crime. Older members may recall this series (narrated by Edgar Lustgarten) younger members may find pictures of 1960's life
• Pug 207SW 5-door - Rainwater entry 20 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  [ I will be surprised if this topic draws many suggestions ]  Water builds up in the rear n/s footwell after heavy rain.  My natural assumption was via the door and a failed membrane behind the door-card, but this seems not to be the case.  My next guess is entry round the rear
• Mini Convertible auto - Mini Convertible auto 22 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  I'm thinking of an Automatic Mini Convertible. I could spend up to £6k. I understand the CVT gearbox is problematic as well as automatic. Did Mini fix this or change to a different auto box? If so what year would be the first to consider without the CVT problem. I wouldn't want a Cooper S
• Montego - a rarity now - for sale 15 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  Never liked the Renault 17 but that Montego is something I’ve fond memories of. I flogged loads of them in the 90’s and rust aside had not one bit of bother. They were much better cars than their reputation suggested, all drove well and they were actually pretty well made once you got past
