RE heated windscreens: my ‘local’ screen supplier and motorsport / car fan 
had ordered 5 screens tinted with band. 
However, we got clear screens ! So we’re trying to get to the bottom of 
this and get the screens we wanted. 
Must say, the price wasn’t too bad, if only the product was exactly what 
was ordered...
He supplies more oldtimer screens for Ford, Vauxhall Opel, etc. You’ll find 
him on FB too.
Look for ‘verwarmde voorruit’.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Zetec Blacktop into Saloon -anyone got info/advice?

2020-05-16 Thread Rolf
When converting my 2+2 from cv to silvertop, I used a PSA cranckpulley to 
make the waterpomp Vbelt driven.
A friend of mine turned  the centre bagger on a lathe to fit perfectly on 
the waterpomp boss with the four holes.
Cranckpulley was cvh, as Jim shows, but turned off 2mm to get in line as 
close to the engine as possible.
Made a new alternator bracket to get that pully in line. Bracket consists 
of two pieces of angled girder with some holes.

Or thereabouts, especially if you retain the donor reg.
Are you here on the forum?
Anyone know the owner?

[Quantum Owners] Young driver interested in kit cars

2019-01-22 Thread Rolf
Great you're interested in these cars. They're really great, cheap, fun to 
drive and fun to learn from.
Did anyone warn you of the "Quantum addiction"?
First I got a saloon, then a 2+2, then another 2-2 .and another project 2-2.
The problem is, I never could part with the previous!

Once you have a car that is complete, your challenges seem to be in maintaining 
it.
That is easier than building one, now the donor car is becoming obsolete.

There are some great stories on the fora with pictures for inspiration how to 
enhance your car.
You might get carried away.!

See you at Stoneleigh?
Cheers,
Rolf

Excellent!
It is an easy job for a 3D printer and I have asked a local to 3D scan them. 
The detail can be very good, so you can even see the Ford manufacturing 
markings in reproduction.
A good suggestion is to have the outer skin in both Ford pattern and plain , 
for repainting in car colour. 
However, like always, will do that in due time, he says
So the QOC cs will probably be quicker.
Will follow this thread

Is there anyone located near M25 junction 8 (Tamworth) who can help transfer a

Portabel hydraulic enginehoist would be ideal and would get the job done in

Help would be appreciated, because I'm struggeling with the deep boot of the Q!

Is there anyone traveling from Norwich area to Stoneleigh?
And can carry a CVH cranckpulley for me?
(Seems a waste of money, posting such a heavy item, doesn't it)

Cheers,
Rolf

Re: [Quantum Owners] Smelly question

2017-09-04 Thread Rolf
About the fumes: it is only apparent when top is off, so not coming from 
inside.Looks like the rear is making too much turbulence, causing low pressure 
behind the occupants.
So maybe a wind deflector mx5-like can help.
Has anyone fitted a wind deflector?

[Quantum Owners] Smelly question

2017-08-30 Thread Rolf
When I come home from a lovely drive in the 2+2, my spouse reminds me of the 
fact that I smell like 'old car'.
The problem seems to be the exhaust fumes returning in the cabin, because the 
smell is also present in the boot. 
(I know the bootseal is damaged)
Does anyone experience the same ?
What have you done, or what can I do about it?
Any ideas welcome, (except from Antony, who made his 2+2 electric!)

Anthony is doing a wonderfull job on this interesting project, Matthew.
I was lucky to see the car before Stoneleigh, albeit very shortly.
There must be around 10miles of copperwiring gone into that, but not all for

And is does make sense: an electric convertible and enjoy the birds singing.

Unfortunately, we were a bit late back at the tent for the pubquiz and decided

Re: Fw: [Quantum Owners] Fatter tyres??

2017-04-19 Thread Rolf
Yes, the 2+2 will be at Stoneleigh.
At your disposal to measure everything you want!
But only if the (14") wheels are ready from the paintshop and some tyres 
fitted! Gonna be last minute...fingers crossed!

Tonight I measured just under 20mm drivers side between wheelrim and 
trailingarm and about 15mm on the passengers side. Under load, this will be 
even more centered. 
This is measured with 6,5 J rims of 15" ET 38 fitted with 195-45-15 and 5mm 
spacers, so low profile and therefore not really exceeding the rim. Spacers not 
really needed, but fills the arches better.
(the Focus got new Dunlops last year (195-60-15), and indeed these were more 
rim-protecting than the ones on before.)
 
The space between the shock and tyre is, curiously enough, the same as 
mentioned above.

Remember it is only now the axle is put central; these measurements were way 
off in the past!
It seems more quantums need this checked. 
The saloon is not at my home, so sorry not to have the opportunaty to take 
measurements.
As it runs wider wheels, presumably the axle is well positioned.
On the front it has more room to turn than on the 2+2, these wider wheels 
rubbing the inner wing on full lock and also the scuttle full lock otherway 
around. No problem on the saloon.
Will exchange numbers at Stoneleigh so you can have a look at the pics. (Or 
pass your mobilenr to Michael Huges, he has my details and is near you.)

Any use all these details?
Grtz

Re: Fw: [Quantum Owners] Fatter tyres??

2017-04-19 Thread Rolf
Hi, have the same problem on 2+2. Found indeed the axle was not centered under 
normal load.
When jacking the car to find out why the anti rolbar moved off-side, it occured 
to me that the axle was right in the middle.
Thats why under load it moves approximately 10mm, thus causing the tyre to 
grinding the shock dustcover.
I moved the hole in the panhardrodbracket 10 mm, now under normal conditions, 
the axle is centered.
Now see if the antirolbar also stays centered.

Normally The 2+2 runs on 185-60-14 , now temporary on 195-45-15.
The 14" run much smoother and give far better clearance.
However, on the saloon there is room for 195-50-15. That also runs quite 
comfortable.
So there seems to be more space on a saloon than on a 2+2.

Hope this is any use to you,
Rolf

[Quantum Owners] Re: Fw: Complete Kit Car news – Stoneleigh seminars are back

2017-04-02 Thread Rolf
Hi all,
Since last year my Quantum won a prize in best overseas Quantum, it will be 
joining you this year in the catagory 'best last minutes overseas Quantum". 
It sits in the garage with no wheels, due to the wheels being refurbished.  The 
process has been delayed somewhat, but hopefully everthing will be ready by 
then. 
We will travel all the way in company of a Midas convertible and a coupe. 
The idea is to may be catch up on the Saturday, go to Blyton's mini actionday 
on Sunday, travel back to Stoneleigh, probably missing the bbq (may be there's 
a bit left?) , but in time for the pubquiz!
Is it still on? Or is there more serious talking in the evening? It will be a 
jam packed weekend, now there's only one whole day at the show.

Looking forward meeting you all, especially the electric 2+2, (will you be 
there Anthony on Sunday evening and or Monday?)

At Stoneleigh they showed a yellow Vindicator with a DC motor coupled to a

Re: [Quantum Owners] Bodywork film

2016-01-10 Thread Rolf
That seems to be a good idea.
Last week I took the 2+2 to an advertising firm who wrappes cars as well, and 
they also pointed out the maximum sheet witdh is (close to) 150cm. That means 
joint lines on front, below the bumperline above indicators and at the rear 
probably too, because, starting from the back, the film wrapped over curves 
will end up at an angle moving towards the front of the car.
They quoted around 1000UKP. 
A downside was there was no film in "rail-blue" , as Quantum specified a 
blue-green gelcoat. The colour is also known as 'petrol blue' available in 
paint, but not yet in film.

If we as a club could concentrate the work at one firm, the quality will be 
better, due to having more experience on this specific car and get a discount 
at the same time. Seems sensible.
Who can close the deal??
Can they do a car at Stoneleigh? 
Then I'll make sure I get my car there, because it is due to be a weddingcar a 
month later for good friends!

[Quantum Owners] Euregio Meeting 2015

2015-06-24 Thread Rolf
Hi all,
As mentioned at Stoneleigh, all Quantum drivers are invited to join the Euregio 
Meeting!
Last year three attended, let's double that, at least!

nl-nl.facebook.com/events/946180805416451/?ref=98. 

For more information . Scroll down for English version.
A couple of People from the UK have already booked a basic campsite, so will 
gather earlier and drive together.
Also GTM , Midas and others attending!

It is organised to keep people interested in unusual cars like the Marcosses, 
but any other interesting car will get as much atention and is as welcome as 
any.
( And , although I'm one of the organisers, I don't even own a Marcos! Alas two 
Quantums  :) )

Any questions? Please let me know!

See you @ the August bankholiday weekend!

Rolf

Re: [Quantum Owners] Poor idle zetec rs 1800 on 2+2

2014-11-30 Thread Rolf

My Reactions in logical order:

Op vrijdag 28 november 2014 23:36:17 UTC+1 schreef Jim Hearne: 



 Has it always done this since you fitted the RS1800i ecu ?  Yes, that's 
 why I am not sure where to look. I assumed when changing the incorrect (for 
 engine, but ran on this wiringloom)  ecu to the 92FB12A650BD XEF2FBBD - 
 COPY correct for engine, would do the trick. But not quite.



What injectors are fitted ? Brown , two sets came with the engine engine 
 code CA1W 18 O.K.


 

 What air flow sensor is fitted ? None,  this set up is from early 90's 
 with external EDIS see  Haynes 1737; 12*31; diagram 6 Typical ZETEC (16V)  
  Fuel Injection pre '95 models, I don't have the correct MAF sensor (do 
 have 1.6), but it should also run without, shouldn't it?


 

 What cams are fitted ? Standaard, was MSA sealed engine  for G20 class 
 series in 2007.


 

 Whats the engine wiring loom ? 
 The CVH injection setup is quite different to the Zetec so i assume you 
 changed more than just swapping the ecu.


Basicly it's a CVH XR2i loom from 1992 fiesta , engine end adapted to zetec 
sockets. But in addition to the air flow sensor, this wasn't foreseen then, 
and my friend's escort does run without one.


 The engine should stall if the connector is pulled off the idle valve, so 
 you may have an air leak somewhere.
 I've had it before with the seals around the injectors.


The Manual says no stalling: set base rpm to 700 and when plugging in the 
idle valve the rpm should rise some what  


 Check the Rubber T or elbow that connects the crankcase breather pipe from 
 the front of the engine into the gearbox end of the inlet manifold.
 These often perish and leak.


renewed that when installing new engine. The injector seals are hard to 
find, but I managed to order a comlete set the other day at a Ford 
dealership further up the country. Wait and see. I did try toseal them off 
using assemby grease, but noticed no difference back then.


Any comments?

PS I do have breather filter on the camcover, as suggested.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Poor idle zetec rs 1800 on 2+2

2014-11-30 Thread Rolf
Thanks Jim for your extended investigation.
My plans are to wait for the seals to arrive and replace them.
In the meantime I will check the loom and get under the dash again to 
investigate the loom changes.
You're right, it will be a confused ecu when one or more are mixed up. 

The diagram is no 7 indeed, the page no was correct in 12*31.

In the base idle subject: see Haynes manual 1595 Fiësta '89-95 this base idle 
rpm is descibed on page 1*15 for 1.6EFI engines, funnily enough, there's no 
such description on the zetec 16V engines. I assumed they needed the same 
treatment. In chapter 4D*8 the sequential fuelinjection is mentioned, but no 
learning.

Will keep you posted on progress.

[Quantum Owners] Poor Idle running RS1800

2014-11-28 Thread Rolf
Does anyone have a clue what I'd be looking for regarding the following problem?
On idle, the engine rpm will vary between 500-2500 rpm. It starts as a small 
bandwith, say1000-1100 rpm, but when the engine gets warmer, the bandwith 
increases to the above mentioned.
Then it's a pig to drive! Giving it a little throttle, dampens the variation. 
But when cruising under 2500 rpm, the engine will start rocking like a rocking 
horse! Increasing rpm giving it more throttle or pressing the clutch gets it 
out of oscillation again. Pulling the plug of the bypassvalve makes it more 
drivable, but rpm is very low when cold. Runs very smooth and reacts very 
responsive yet docile on the throttle.( above 2500 rpm).

Some history: ran the engine on a XR2i (8v)  ecu for a few years, ran 
reasonably ok, bit rich. 
Now i acquired an original RS1800 ecu , ran the learnsequence as per Haynes 
manual, like base rpm @700rpm, then

Re: [Quantum Owners] Stoneleigh 2014

2014-05-08 Thread Rolf
The four of us would like to say a big thank you as well, for your hospitality 
and for turning on the BBQ again, Sunday evening!
We enjoyed the quiz, too. We will watch more itv and bbc to end up higher in 
the 'advertisement' -round!

It was fun and the time just flew by. Also nice to put some new names to faces, 
but probably hard to remember 'till next year.
Well, not your face, Steve!

Also quite interesting many Q owners did have mini's ( we came up with our 
Pimlico) and many have more kitcars than just the Q.

So, many thanks again, and if you like travelling abroad, I'd like to recommend 
a 'Best of British' show on August 31st at Boxtel, in the south of the 
Netherlands.
There is interest from Midas and MiniMarcos owners as well, so we might make it 
a complete weekend. It is just 300 km from Calais/Dunkirk , and I can sort you 
out a campingspace with no problem.
Let me know how many of you will come and I'll try to arrange some kind of high 
tea.

Cu all

Re: [Quantum Owners] Front chassis for a 2+2

2013-08-31 Thread Rolf
On the QOC website used to be three drawings how to adapt the frame, in the FAQ 
section, which I used.
However, they seem to be temporarily not available. 

Rather than cutting and welding the lower subframe tube, I used an cvh 
crankpulley and have enough clearance.
Therefore it' s reconverted to single v-belt with a Peugeot crankpulley on the 
waterpump.

Good luck, it's worth every effort, so much (even more) fun!

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Light flap relay

2013-05-26 Thread Rolf
Basically, the common contact 30 from the lidmotor switches between +battery 
87a and - battery 87, thus reversing the motor. When you pull out the relais 
from its housing with a small screwdriver, make sure the coil is charged when 
lights are on, seeing the juk being pulled to the coil, thus moving the contact 
from one to another. If not try to put your finger on it, pressing the juk to 
the coil. The contacts may be sticked to eachother. When releasing them, take 
off the voltage, just in case you slip and make a short!  The contacts must be 
clean. 
Good luck!

Mine actually comes from Stourbridge, just a mile down the road from old Q and

On madaboutkitcars, there's one exactly like the London one, so I presumed the

 Thank you all,
 Today I received my new car documents, and all trouble is rewarded
 with normal  fiesta figures.
 Thus stating max towing weight is 800kg, instead of 820kg (Quantum
 brochure).
 Most important was the term body swap, in reference to the fiesta,
 together with an invoice of the product.
 And I had to come to the station again, where the inspector googled
 some nice Quantum pics!

  When the factory folder is not enough for the RDW, may be an invoice

  Would appreciate if you can scan and mail it to me.
  Does your towbar have an identification tag on it? (QSC number or ..?)
  Sttrange the folder of the coupe indicates 790kg unladen, as the later
  folder with both coupe and 2+2 indicates 840 kg for the saloon and 820

  Is it the mk1 - mk2 difference?

   Sorry, no info on towing weights on my V5 either.
   All I have got is my original invoice from Quantum (dated Jan 93) that
   lists the towbar I bought as an optional extra.
   I also have the brochure for the Coupe from that time which has a
   specification list that shows the Maximum towbar nose weight as70kg
   and the maximum towing weight as 790kg (same as the unladen weight).

   If any of this is useful I can scan it and e-mail it to you when I get

 Converted back to standard I think.  I'm pretty sure I remember reading a

 at Newark but refitted with the original bumpers.

[Quantum Owners] Who has info on 1.0 eco boost engine

2013-01-02 Thread Rolf
Hi Hans, 
You could try Powertorque.co.uk for suppliing such an engine.
In true Ford tradition, any gearbox will probably fit . 
You have to find out though, what ecu fits your requirements.
Can recommend Megasquirt based systems for easy involvent in tuning and 
additional tasks.
C U soon,

[Quantum Owners] Re: 2 + 2 hard top

2011-10-23 Thread Rolf
Hi Justin,
Put up the hardtop last weekend to get ready for winter, but
struggling to match it evenly and fix it without irritating movement.
It does look rather well, tough, retaining the cabrio look.
Also struggling whith wheel and tyre sizes, as my OZ 7J 15 35 looks
are certainly ok, but stering and tracking seems to be less than when
fitting the original Quantum 6J 14 35 TWS alloys with 185-60-14
tyres.
Now found some 61/2 J 50-15 alloys, which tend to keep in track and
looks as well, fitted with 5 mil spacers. These have the same
centreline measurements as the 14TSW when you calculate the ET and
rim depts. They need a refurbishment though. Will keep the TSW for
winter...

See you!

Rolf

  even before the open day i had identified straightening the catches

  So my big questions are

  Are every one else s catches straight?
  And is there any reason why mine are bent before i whip them off and

Thank you all,
Today I received my new car documents, and all trouble is rewarded
with normal  fiesta figures.
Thus stating max towing weight is 800kg, instead of 820kg (Quantum
brochure).
Most important was the term body swap, in reference to the fiesta,
together with an invoice of the product.
And I had to come to the station again, where the inspector googled
some nice Quantum pics!

[Quantum Owners] TOW bar registration help needed

2011-06-06 Thread Rolf
Hi all,
Can everybody have a look at their V5 and see if there's any info
filled in by the DVLA regarding the towingweight of a Quantum (both
saloon and 2+2)?
I'm having difficulties having my towbar registerd , although I
presented the factory folder of 1993 to our RDW (DVLA), but that's not
quite enough. They just need some kind of official evidence that
there was a car fitted with a towbar, preferably by Quantum or DVLA.
At the mo I may tow 400kg unbraked, 0 (yes: zero)kg braked. Doesn''t
make much sense, does it? But it's the law and we need to bend it.
Has anyone ever bought a towbar from QSC in the past with a letter,
confiming the delivery and/or fitting instructions? Anything?
Please help and have a look, much appreciated,

Many thanks
Rolf

[Quantum Owners] Re: Just put my Quantum on ebay

2011-05-15 Thread Rolf
Agree with you. Just some loose thoughts:
Had the same experience, tried to sell my saloon for a reasonable
price, but no decent offer, but I kept it for time being. Now my 2+2
is on the road, I might sell it for whatever comes up, or leave it in
the garage. For now, the cost of having two cars on the road are not
sky high, but lack of space is a downside.
At the same time, due to having two Quantums on the drrive, people
stare and hurt necks, trying to see the cars when they drive by and
recently a guy came up to me to talk about the car at 7.30 am!
So we defenately need people's interest i the cars what helps and take
the cars out as much as we can. (says daily driver)
What can we do to increase publicity?

  Anything is only worth what you can
  get for it, but that depends on
  how desparate you are to sell it.

  The truth is that a Mk2 without MoT is going to have to be
  pretty
  special to make more than £300 - 400, and a 2+2 £600 -
  700. With MoT
  and tax, you could say the same cars would be £700 - 800
  and £1000
  -1500. I've bought three and sold one in the last year.
  (Don't ask..!)

  The above are governed, largely, by the alternatives on the
  wider
  market. Mx5s, MGFs, MR2s, XR2s, etc. etc. and the number of
  people
  with a non-runner kit car in the garage that they have lost
  interest
  in. Often that they bought second hand and didn't build.

  Now, the problem for most of us is that, having spent hours
  and money
  on our cars, their open market value is such that we won't
  get it back
  if we sell them. Which is why most of the best cars aren't
  for sale. I
  guess that's a fact of life.

  But it leaves the problem that, if your car gets written
  off, the only
  way to replace it is to buy a less special one and do lots
  of work to
  it to get it to the same standard. Which is why we need
  agreed value
  insurance. to cover the work involved. And particularly if
  it's
  someone else's fault - when you would be really annoyed to
  be offered
  the sort of money above for your immaculate 2+2 turbo 4wd
  nitrous
  injection with electric hood, kangaroo leather interior and
  diamond
  jewelled instruments, etc. (Don't tell me someone has
  one..!)

  The other problem is that, having built the ultimate car,
  it's not
  possible to sell it on to finance the next project. Or
  persuade other
  stakeholders in the household that you aren't just throwing
  good money
  after bad every month.

  So, ultimately, we all have an interest in improving the
  profile of
  these cars in the wider world. When rusty heaps of MGBs
  with
  agricultural engines and suspension are £2K+ and Mk1
  Escorts start at
  £4K for a 1.1 4-door, there has to be scope for our chosen
  vehicles to
  be worth more, if only the wider market appreciated them.
  It's not
  just Quantums - look at early GTMs, Mini Marcos, Ginettas,
  Novas, etc.
  They all have the same problem.

  I don't know the answer, but, as a relative newby to the
  scene, it
  seems to me that there is scope for a gentle but effective
  publicity
  campaign to bring the attention of the wider enthusiast
  market to our
  area. There's both the Classic area, that must be getting
  bored with
  the same old cars by now, and seems to be getting more
  into
  modifications, which we do lots of, and there's the Top
  Gear market,
  that must be getting bored with looking at unaffordable,
  uninsurable
  supercars, whilst driving korean superminis on HP, with
  4-figure
  insurance premiums.

  More interest = more buyers = better values for our cars?

  There, I've thrown a brick into the pond. What do you
  think?

 Hi
 regarding the tank, ive got one im about to fit which has the swirl
 pot, ill check the part number today if you wish, it has a 16mm outlet
 and an 8mm inlet both going to the swirl pot, I intend to fit this to
 my carb engine and mechanical pump, not specifically after an EFI tank
 but its brand new and free so I wasn t going to turn it down, I see no
 reason why it wouldn t work, just a case of adapting the outlet from
 16mm to 8mm which ive already made an adapter, biggest problem you
 will have is the filler neck seal is no longer available from ford for
 these, you can get the xr2 ones just not these.
 Im guessing it is 40L , petrol 10.1986-      6 166 798 because the
 very early tanks (which I have on at the mo) were the smaller ones and
 the xr2 filler seal wont fit the EFI tank according to my ford parts
 bloke to that only leaves the one above but ill check my number today

You should be able to fix that, me thinks.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Earth fault

2011-03-29 Thread Rolf
Paul,
A few months ago I was having the same problem on a 1992 Cooper.
It is worthwhile checkin the dodgy loom connections behind the grill
surround.
There are a few rubber-packed rolled-copper strips where the ballpin
type of wire connector are coupled.
If you know what I mean. These are defenataly worth checking for bad
connectorns due to oxydation.
The loom is also in de grill-surround where the selftappers from the
grill are fastened, so check if the looom is not fastened or damaged
and youre placed the wires in the correct order.
These were also placed wrongly on my friends Cooper. In this case,
there was a colour change in the loom from blue/white to blue.
The loom to the front of the car also goes through the inner wing (at
the triangle, next to the common earth) and tend to shear the grommet,
thus damaging the wires.

Hope this is of some use,
Good luck
Rolf

 Hi all

 Thank you for the kind words that have been expressed here about my
 taking on Quantum. Some of the comments have been quite humbling.

 I have given much thought about taking on Quantum, this decision was
 not taken lightly.

 I must thank John  Rosemary who have been very suportive of my taking
 Quantum on.

 I wil now have everything I need to support all of the older models
 from moulds to spares.

 It is important to now progress Quantum, and to that end I have
 decided that the 2+2 model will have an update. It is looking likely
 that it will be re engineered to run on a Ka donar and also have a
 styling update. Don't worry, the styling update will be more evolution
 rather than revolution.

 I am planning on a factory open day towards the end of June / begining
 of July so that you are able to see the progress.

 I look foward to working as closely as possible with the QOC and
 giving new life to the cars that we love.

  As you say, it's being read to compensate for the amount of air at
  different temperatures in order to get the mixture right.
  Your remark started me thinking and in the end I pulled out the loom
  from the enginebay and crossreferenced it to the old one. Colour by
  coulor using Hayens manual and again using an ohmmeter.
  Two pieces of written paper along the way I found 1 wire responsible
  for the airtemp sensor being used for the cam sensor in the new loom,
  thus two sensors being at fault.
  (And it ran...) These two sensors are  using the same colourcode:
  white/violet and brown/white. Haha...
  Rectified this and relearned the ecu for a firm drive and it now
  pulled remarkebly well.
  will see tomorrow if it stays that way.

Yes, I'm leaving as much as possible on the new engine at the mo, with
old ecu.

Air mass meter in intake pipe (with the two spirals in it's separate
channel for measuring) is of different outer shape because of the
diameters of the pipe and airfilterbox.

Will swap manifolds as well if nessesary, it is still on the old
engine and look if there's any tempsensor I missed. (hardly, because
all was marked!)

Tried several times to relearn the ecu, and it did. It went better
after a few miles.

The exhaustsystem is untouched , exept for a new O2 sensor of equal
typenumber by ford.

If there are anymore pointers I'll let you know. (Or ask!)(You as

 They certainly did on the 1.8 Zetec when it went from the metal to
 plastic inlet manifolds.
 If you've now got a mixture of the new and the old parts then things
 won't work very well.

 I would have kept the metal inlet manifold and all sensors and fitted
 that onto the new engine.

 You should also have the air temperature sensor, the ecu uses it to
 compensate the mixture.
 It should have been on the inlet manifold on the alloy manifold and was
 probably in the airbox or the air intake pipe on the new engine.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Carb problem on 1.4 CVH

2010-01-15 Thread Rolf
Hi,
Recently I encountered similar problems. After a sleeping policeman
the engine lost power, but ran  only just. Fortunately not far from
home.
Checking fuelfeed to carb was fine, I removed the jets for inspection.
no problem found. then lifting the upperhalf of the carb to reveal the
fuel chamber, I found a bolt m6x15 stuck under the float!
Seems I have been driving more than 3 years with the bolt in the
floatchamber! and now the float got stuck!

But not all problems were solved , as I found out, because some days
later the engine suddenly  cutout  at a roundabout. with coupling in I
menaged to drive into a parkingspace. In the freezing cold I removed
the jets again and these were blocked by a brownish substance. To find
out were it came from, I looked into the floatchamber (again..) and
found small particles of debris in it. These I had sucked up with a
syringe to try to clean the chamber from foreighn obstacles.

A day or so later the same thing happened and I was fustrated the car
just menaged to drive to work on choke. Removing jets again..Looking
in floatchamber; again...Debris sucked out
Investigating the debris, it seems the cork gasket from the KN
airfilter desintegrated and parts of it ended up in either the
screwhole and pushed in, or were sucked in through the airvent hole in
the metal carbgasket.
I decided to get rid of the cork gasket all the same! In theory it can
happen again if there is some debris left in one of the small
fuelchannels, but hopefully not!

Hoped this helps you, or a laughing story anyway,
Cheers,Rolf

PS when I just bought the  Q, it developped similar problems on the
motorway and I had to drive very economical to keep the engine going.
This turned out to be the inline fuelfilter.

 anyone has a suitable carb which I could buy please let me know.
 Also if anyone has other ideas as to the source of the problem I'd be
 grateful for any feedback.
 I'm hoping to have it sorted for Stoneleigh and Scotland.

[Quantum Owners] britishcarfestival dot NL

2009-05-16 Thread Rolf

Hello all,
In a few weeks you're welcome to gather at 
http://www.britishcarfestival.nl/engels_index.html.
As you can see, a few Robin Hoods are crossing the English Channel to
attend and make it a good weekend out.

As a Quantum owner I personally team up with Midas and Mini Marcos
owners, as there a no Quantums to team up with!
Please get in touch if you would like to form a Q group, waving our
flag amongst all these British Bred classics.

The venue is no more than 3 hours from Calais, and the are many
possible ways of staying overnight.

Andy promised to come with 20 Qs if I organise a meeting abroad. Andy,
you can see this as a warmer, pilot or just a grand day out!
May be next year we can make a combination of this event, or with a
large picknick-in -the-park.

Anyone interested?

Cheers,
Rolf

[Quantum Owners] Re: Detling

2009-04-12 Thread Rolf

A lovely day it was!
A good turn up of Q's and a warm welcome, from both Kent kitCarClub
and QOC, and those two combined and mixed up!
It took some effort to get there due to a puncture (inBelgium
already!) but drove nie and easy on a smaller tyre. Luckily it was a
proper tyre, only the smallest I could find on a ford rim.
Nice talking to you lot and thanks for may advices etc. robert, andy,
I left the MK1 headlights at Ben, may be you can still have ém if he
can part with them. There was quite a bit of rust on the refletor, but
still usable.

Got a pit in the windscreen on our way back and hit a pothole , again
in belg...@#$%^*!  where does it end?

Nothing in comparision to the (7?) car on the motorway, which was
nothing more than a pile of ashes when the fire went outWhat a
shame .

See you next time!
Rolf
