Removing the trans cover is very straightforward and no, you do not need to
remove the gearshift.
Actually on the later single rail gearboxes, the shift lever can
be easily removed by pressing down and turning the locking collar
at the base of the lever and
Jon, The rear seat was a bit of a headache. I toyed with the idea of just
covering the existing Herald seats with that nice grey cloth. Then I decided
to fit the Escort rear seats in the Herald. This had slight problems, the
main one being the Herald is a lot narrower than the Escort. So I just
PREThanks, that is a good idea, but as one engine is not assembled how would I
do a compression test? and what is a 'leak down' test ?

I suggest using engine #1 with its original head, because it
sounds like you can can get it installed and running with the least
amount of work. And I would not worry about that head.
If the head is OK, but simply does not have hardened seats,
you can probably use it for years, and then do the

Now my question(s), Can I install the unleaded head from the FD engine and
put it on the FH engine? next, if i can swap it over, which is the better
engine ? Its a bit pointless swapping the head over if I would be putting it
on an
Thanks to all who replied with help for my DPO DOT 3 dilema, I guess it's a
been there/done that adventure I'm need to dive into asap. The black sludge
is indeed DOT3-ized rubber from the DPO, not sure how long it was there? I'm
picking up 2 rebuild kits in the morning and will remove the clutch
BTW, conventional brake fluid is water-soluble. Thus, you can
clean out the parts with hot soapy water, and rinse them with denatured alcohol
to get rid of the leftover water.

Hi Listers,
I went to a scrapyard for the first time ever today:
Hi, Im looking for an alternator off a Rover 200 series.
Right, come this way.
I need an A one-two-sev.
There you go mate, you know what you're looking for.
I was presented with approximatly 100 million alternators to

Just because your alt. CAN produce 65 Amps does not mean it will
all the time. The only time it should produce high amps is when it is called
for. If you hook up driving lights,fog lights,an electric rear window
defogger and a high output stereo.and turn them all on at once,you
Ok- For required LBC content- I drove my Herald to the local British car club meeting
on Tuesday, and had a wonderful ride in the sub freezing air, despite my lack of a
convertible hood at this point. I dressed warmly, had the heater on full tilt, and
enjoyed the beautiful clear sky. The jazz
Just because more juice is available, none of the individual
components will draw more than they are designed to use. So
you don't really have to worry about individual wires in the
loom.
There are some situations where the draw from the alternator to
the battery may be high (for instance
Tonight while at my wife's office party.
I was talking to the director of her division in the federal government,
somehow we got on the topic of my GT6 restoration. He says yes I know what a

This morning, Friday, 13 December, my attempts at flying an airplane were
so hideous, that my instructor got out of the Cessna 172(on the ground, of
course!) and told me to fly by myself! IN OTHER WORDS- After 40 some hours
of instruction, I have finally come to terms with landings, and this
What's more, it is pretty unlikely that your car still has the original seals.
And they were probably replaced with ones that were made with the same
rubber material that was used for all the other seals used by other makes
and models of cars.
But I still buy DOT4 anyway :-)

My brother lives in Cumberland, a bit east of Ottawa. The last time
I visited him, he showed me a green TR8 that was for sale,
parked at a local gas station.
If it were not for the potential hassle of importing it, I might have made an
offer on it.
