Hi Chris, I was going to suggest the clutch release can be improved, as Dave has said it won’t help the judder. There is a manual pedal which replaced the automatic adjustment (same as Fiesta) previously used on the Escort – I don’t know if Ford also carried it onto the Fiesta, but there was cle

You might be jumping the gun here. I think that area is where the two halves of the fiber glass body are joined. Most H4s have a rubber strip over this join. I only know of a single H4 that had the join smoothed and painted over and that was a white car. I suspect that may be filler cracking r

Thanks Martin and Darren I know it should be easy to find a clutch for a CVH engine. However, when I first got the car, I spent a lot to time trying to get the clutch bit point off the floor. I have the prototype 2+2 and it turns out it is different from production cars and was originally fi
