  1. I would think this would be a good joint purchase for @Six-cylinder and @Angrydicky lots of useful parts and that interior is fantastic.
  2. It states no subscription and 6 month standby, it seems good especially if it is possible to replace the battery, this is not so clear. I am tempted to try one. If they were any good I would buy several.
  3. TX keys were on earlier Ford’s, the Sapphire had the fancy new Chubb locks as below https://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespares/buy/f2524/key-blank-ford-xf-xg-xh-ea-eb-ed-ef-el-au-to-0599 I remember swapping a few passenger side to driver side door barrels in these as after a few years use the barrels failed and you could not get in, unlike the TX locks which you could open with anything when they become worn. My dad had an E reg Escort company car which the company extended the lease on, by 4 years old both the driver side and passenger side locks had failed and we had to climb through the hatch to get in. My dad was not impressed by this and the car went back, we had a hired 405 until his new Orion arrived. Edited to include a better option: Looks like I was wrong, these are Tibbe which in turn were replaced by Chubb. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116079506736?itmmeta=01HRD12XH23NK07P6RGKCFPJXB&hash=item1b06e0b530:g:dzMAAOSwjcJhEXYD&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8IvMHye1MdR9vaQFYFRyQfQrfctWAHvlehtu4XQEU1n8YX1QMNLeEIAabDQxfkZoHFFV1erFWks7ydA6apYnX2KormkiarX4CgsI8x5%2FpGhe2TAQ3GoXPKoSmP%2BkXI62A1ZQtrn%2BqSneQSQSNF1aiOqyw%2FyEPVxG7ALvbqwLsgDM1WfZCEc3Xo6ezxNGisn9u%2BWMQGX67qneKkqlXxUjBdt0npIgBsgjNL2dy9fDU9KDqO3v0rqHvBnv%2FPMDQrVlTsg5rZTVaDXh2faSlIG3f1o1qH%2FHatY5nMKpnsazbZovftoGo%2FgpPoq3CpBkZ4GKKg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR87Yi6HDYw
  4. Has anyone tried these? they sound a good option at a sensible price. https://sheertrends.com/products/best-magnetic-mini-worldwide-gps-tracker?currency=GBP&variant=48236358500687&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&stkn=348320a9b4a8&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIterittbihAMVsZRQBh2xTgXqEAQYAyABEgJ94_D_BwE
  5. This car is a South African import but Superspeed or Race Proved (Jeff Uren ) would have built one for you if you had lots of money and good taste.
  6. They look like Swiss vignette. They are for Swiss toll roads, I have them on some of my Cortina’s from our trips to Italy.
  7. I think it is more than a hunch, there is a very strong likelihood that we will have a change of government to one that has no sympathy for our interests or a person who has worked hard all their life. I do not want to get into a discussion on politics but the facts from recent history are clear.
  8. If I win the Euromillions jackpot on Friday I will be pressing buy it now on this: The perfect Rolls Royce in my opinion. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315155612570?itmmeta=01HPHJNZABA11CJ4QTG962MPT4&hash=item4960bd039a:g:0q4AAOSwwPRly3LK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwDDdxz4F4Ui1oxtvBk%2FJDMikk60fJJ4el50CZqag4QlKLhITb4NjwQqNsg1WxDcfOJmVsBc1dXHBBsQixN%2FPXQfmDO4YGaBWdUYiF%2B%2Bb3%2B4Rst0%2Bj3CInHqzz7x0w8YVZsBi%2BO%2B12%2BW1VkD6H7BtERLmQ9I20DJyWdyn4zOTGWVj9oIwhDRt5tgPVPL746IaxwjYOfRLkm4jVYJGEXDIE7ACn%2FMDqrPw6c4pAQXEzT2hzbL9Ad9%2Bys1tKZn2ggS1HA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6D117K0Yw
  9. If she is painting the car brown or orange she could be multitasking and painting the car and getting a spray tan at the same time.
  10. Forest Green, there were two 2.3 Ghia saloons near where I lived when I was young in Forest green. 2.3’s were quite rare especially GL estates, I used to prefer Crystal green but Forest green looks great, your Dad’s car would have looked fantastic.
  11. The colour is Pine green, it was a 1982 colour but not used on the Cortina, some of the new Sierra colours were used on Crusader models only but Pine green was not one of them. Colours on Crusader only used for Sierra’s were Polar Grey and Rio Brown.
  12. I would like a V12 Jag but have always been put off by running costs, I really should buy one like this, it is stunning and a great colour. Looks a bargain if it is as good as it looks, I have never spent that much on a car in my life though but it is both considerably cheaper and better than a new car. Desperately needs proper number plates but otherwise perfect. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166590384374?hash=item26c98f88f6:g:nXAAAOSwfBtlxczn&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4BDv6Kng9RQlSaNCc8rGS0F2TaIlq2O%2BJYR3lyA65lyRxnByjOa1UHPdi8wvacYOXGmyFmndPCFeCT4vwcliXmeh0gtdjPSKaUL8QdF4J7PbtdAG%2F00U0rsUFsGqpdo%2FiN6xbsSLtNJu9UVUvEon56NmBlQY7AvpF3kW7ujRUz%2Bed4%2F6IEgj%2FVlz4I8xR1x1DHFpM0%2FSFpX6J63Cs3AgoUJon3Yoy9LI6Q%2BMAFJzEJwzu2titv%2FiUqN9QymKVX49LXIObmmjyQ%2BlL%2BQI07FXG3agIGq7ZnWDeuR2FjiClwBD|tkp%3ABk9SR6igx5-yYw As I am a skinflint I am more likely to buy something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156051744876?hash=item245568a86c:g:U7IAAOSwS-VlxRio&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwM3UM%2Bq2G%2F5Xap3iu5MsXVaSWnDYihndUIz%2B2uYZd%2BS1D5xfRPSvoDnib7%2Fs05xDlcUYj6tnnIInfxxVTHDGrqa5eEMgut2BJ9LJL7SIAHJkoUe4wNEWUfyDWFEe0b9JswR27wbz2jKL8dsnjO%2F3L%2BDv5kxfUp0E8RuUlFEu3OrYlFIJfz2Uh6SGrFkmCoUbMdBqLswoQ%2BeZDxzy%2FF4i3%2FhkAH6m7SUJiZrq9fk7KocjIu7XCutL7Ylm8eGwJ1cFOw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6qH95-yYw
  13. They are exactly the same size, chassis, floorpan, sills etc are all the same, mk 4 and mk 5 were just re panelled and updated from the previous model. Looks a bargain and Modena green is a good colour, would if I had room.
  14. My partner was sorting out some of her mothers stuff yesterday and I thought this would be a good place to post it, I hope you don’t mind. The advert is in the official guidebook from the 1986 garden festival below. She even has the entry ticket!
  15. Usually it is just the tailpipe is a few inches longer and easily modified. Certainly the case for a Cortina and no reason a Sierra will be any different. The estate chassis will be the same as the saloon just an extension at the back.
