Hi Sonia.

I got your message asking for Darryn's contact details but haven't been 
able to reply because the p...@thewurg e-mail address keeps getting bounced 
back, even as a private reply from here.
As this info is available on Facebook, I guess Darryn won't mind me posting 
it here:

07775 833844

4 Penny Hill Close
Spalding

I hope this reaches you successfully.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Headlining

2018-07-23 Thread chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group
I recently lost patience with it and dug out my old knackered angle grinder 
with a flap sanding disc on it.
The result was me rushing out to buy a new angle grinder 

I then got the main roof section all cleaned up in about an hour. That’s an 
hour lying on my back with my neck on the edge of the parcel shelf..holding 
3.5 kg of angle grinder above my head.

I hurt today.

My car had the factory fitted grey headliner on it, so no separate backing.

The original builder used the Fiesta sound deadening on the floor, stuck down 
with something very sticky and jig-sawed together with carpet tape.

Most of it came off with a scraper but I’ll still have to go over it with the 
sanding disc.

When i had the headlining replaced in my Saloon they left the foam that was 
under the headlining, he said it would be fine.
That was 10 years ago and it’s not shown any signs of coming off.  Though the 
car has been inside those 10 years so it’s not had the heat of the sun on it 
yet.

I’ve only recently finished removing the original owners idea of soundproofing, 
he had used multiple layers of old carpet stuck down with the strongest glue 
i’ve ever come across.
It must have taken me at least a week of work spread across the 10 years to get 
it all removed with cheisels and scrappers.

You may find that a hot air gun will soften the glue and make things easier but 
not too hot, you don’t want to damage the fibreglass.

Does anyone have any tips for removing the original headlining from a saloon?
The top layer has peeled away so I’m left with the brown stuck to the 
fibreglass (mostly).
Is there some easy way, or is it just a case of scraping and swearing?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Alloy wheels

2018-07-23 Thread michaelhughes7a via Quantum Owners Group
Having an odd fifth road wheel. 


  Not sure if Quantum spare wheels are all carried in a wheel well in the boot 
possibly some have the spare underneath the boot. Either way if you put wider 
wheels on the car the spare may not fit in its proper place. Some owners use a 
narrower tyre as a spare. This usually has a distinctive marking and use is 
restricted to emergencies

Martin,

Before giving away the XR2 Pepperpot you might want to check if  it is 
worth anything to someone with an XR2.  These cars are  getting rare, so a 
good condition original alloy wheel might be  worth something to the right 
person.

Regards,
  Steve

Thank you everyone for your input, very helpful indeed. I  like these 
wheels, I can't imagine the car wearing anything  else!  I measured the 
width of the rim as 6" when I balanced  them so most likely they are a 
6J.  I am changing the front  brake calipers, when they arrive that is, 
and will check the  inside of the rims for any other markings and 
numbers.  That  will be a major cleaning job!




Regarding new wheels, I had specified the make, model and  year of the 
car and been told that the correct offset would be  applied at the time 
of ordering. I wasn't sure then about the  J part of it but with your 
help, that is much clearer.   Whatever I do, I must make sure they have 
four holes and not  five to mount the wheels on the hubs. This is a 
whole world I  never knew existed!




Regarding plastic rings to centre the wheels Hans, mine do  not have 
them at all.  The wheels are a nice snug fit when  pressed to the hub 
and hold well as the bolts are put in  place.  After I balanced the 
wheels, the wobble at around  60mph had gone.  A very useful tip 
nonetheless and one I will  bear in mind if I do change the wheels 
completely, the  companies I looked at all mentioned rings and I 
wondered what  they were for.




I would be interested to find out more Robmirach.  Apart  from the 
non-matching and missing centre covers, I do not have  a good spare 
either!  The boot contains an original XR2  pepperpot wheel with a tyre 
size that does not match the  rest.  There is also a honking great nail 
through the tread  that I hadn't notice in the last 15 years.  If 
anyone wants  the wheel, you are welcome - nail included!



Thanks again.

  
Martin
