I know everyone is obviously tired and sick of hearing of Lytton Rubbers come PeterM come Peter Mellander . I have bought his products and I bought additional stock for my customers Ford Escorts at a price I would say if you want quality you pay for it, however this is not always the case. I wrote to Peter yesterday 28/3/22 in a personal email to advise him of my experience on several items of gromets, Here is a couple of images of rear brake dust boots, one image is what I did have and the other images is like owning plastercine where they have broken down and the copy of the email I sent him and his magic reply:
Jim,
I refuse to engage reply to slander.
I refuse to lower myself to engage to your childish politiking.
Under no circumstances contact me again.
Peter Mellander.

Hello Peter,
I know you keep on saying you are not in business anymore, who knows but you.
I have bought rubber grommets from you and had several turn into plastercine type product and render useless
Very disappointing to pay a premium price to find when you want to use them , they are no good

Hi All,
I'm starting to be lured to the thought of a V8 cruiser, I had a XA GT lookalike in my younger days. If I find one that doesn't require selling an organ I will probably have to sell the RS, I will only be able to have room for 1. Most long term members of this forum will have a good idea of what I have done with the restomod of the RS, what sort of coin would you reckon for it- somewhere around the $40K mark? would be interested in your feedback? The gearing on the RS is not so highway friendly at 4.11:1 so a cruiser is better for long distance travel we do up here in the far north- tlhinking a AU series 3 XR8/TE50- pricing has not gone too silly on them yet, unfortunately not too many around here.
Cheers, Len

Guys & Girls, thought I would put up a personal post. As like most guys I don't tend to advertise if something is a bit amiss health wise and hope this is received a positive way, anyway here goes;
I had a major stroke on Nov 10th and fortunately with advances in modern medicine (plus a good wife who diagnosed the symptoms) came out unscathed. Upshot is open heart surgery is required sooner rather than later to fix a valve which has been defective since birth. How you can go 55 years, doing triathlons and other competitive sports and the neurosurgeon says 'I can't believe this wasn't picked up before this'???? I have never been near a hospital besides a knee reconstruction 30 years ago. Oh and visiting other people!
Anyway fellow car enthusiasts worthwhile getting checked out especially if there is a family disposition (none in my family!) for heart related problems.
My wife and I are first aid and advanced resuscitation qualified through our volunteer work which I also reckon is a good idea as knowing what to do is often time critical.
Look after yourselves,
Mark

Just after a bit of advice from the brain trust.
I'm due a new head gasket in the RS, it still needs removal and inspection but at very least a new cam is in order. It was showing some signs of wear last time I looked so while I'm there...
Any tricks to know for the changeover? Is there a 'running in' procedure once fitted? Any reference pages to read?
Any advice welcomed. Cheers.

Deano suggested the idea for some Classic Ford Trivia so lets get the ball rolling and hopefully get a bit more conversation going on the site.
Lets keep it to small Fords Escort, Capri, Cortina, Anglia etc.
Just fun, relevant facts. Lets not get too hung up on what specific manufacturer produced nuts and bolts and in what year.
If you've got a question that you don't have the answer to, post it anyway and hopefully it can be answered.
Contribution will be the key to this so start posting and answering.
So heres a couple to start.
What was Fords codename for the MK2 Escort?
The 65 and 66 GT Cortina's had a six dial dash. How many dials did the 64 have?
