I had a Mk2 XR2 in 1995 Was a cracking first car, twin side draught webers with no filters sounded great.

I agree with the terrible forum, it is very out of date - I was beta testing the new one last month and that is much better.

All good here mate. yeah, i'll try and pop down, Tuesdays are a bit awkward though - i'll sort something out.

If the bottle has gunk in it just remove it and put it in a dishwasher - mrs might not like it but it works a treat. Then blow the pipes out with an airline, just to be sure there is nothing blocking them before refitting the bottle.

Hello Rich, keeping ok?

I don't get much time for meets and stuff like that, but pop a date up and if on the day i'm free, i'll pop along.

does the pipe not run from the bottle, up the passenger bonnet hinge, then across the bonnet to the jets?

If the pump is running check that the hose that runs down the bonnet/hinge isn't kinked when the bonnet is shut.

No Mate, I used to have a 4x4 Sapphire, had an Escort Cos last 7 years. Our 172 has been in our family since new, I've owned it twice (my brother had it for a year then I had it back), got to be 9 years in total now. Can't see me ever selling my 172, does everything I need. Good series 1 turbos...

I use the garage just up from the park lane tavern.

ahh, I see that about a lot, think its on a personal plate - is it mesh he's put over the grill? not seen it up close.

There are 2 down there by the park lane tavern, one at the furniture place (with a very odd replacement grill) and another by the fence company that has awful alloys on. I only live 2 mins from there and see those all the time.

Hey up Kelv, How are you keeping? Do you miss your Ford?

Yep, Steve - he recently broke it for spares. Shame, but it wouldn't sell.

The rondells look so good as they were styled on the 18 inch optional Wolf wheels, which were a dealer option - mainly in Europe. Other Wolf parts could be spec'd up. These are quite rare additions, options were stuff like the wheels, extra rear spoiler, oil temp gauge rather than volt meter, 2...
