First sunny day here for a while so hopefully everyone else is out enjoying the dry conditions. I was heading out, but my plans have been scuppered..............does anyone know if the sigma 150 fuel pump is a bog standard ford part or if CC have modified it in any way?

Pump and gauge working fine (well, gauge was working as it normally does if you know what I mean ). Its just the fuel pipe fitting has snapped off due to the pump being in the wrong orientation and crushed by the boot floor creating a petrol water feature 😳.

Has anyone had to replace one yet?

Spotted by Natalie: reg GN09 on Union Street Flimwell today at around 3 o'clock

I know that just turning one through 180deg to get a new gaitor on a balljoint on my car was very tight. At the time I was thinking that the thread must have powder coating on aswell

It seemed like making a camber adjustment would have taken a bit of strength

The balljoints came ready fitted to my wishbones, but maybe a using a tap for anyone building at the moment would be a good tip.

That was it

A route that I try to avoid at all costs in the seven these days. My idea of a blat has changed since then thank goodness.

Is it still the Focus?

Always look out for you to make sure I wave back this time. Seem to remember you gave me my first ever spotted when I got the car. You waved and I just looked back gowmlessly not sure if you meant me

Ta for the spotted

Hi Roadru77er

That was me making the most of a dry day.

Were you in your work car?

I'd forgotten about this event I must check the calendar more often.

I left the marina next door early afternoon and past a few emergency vehicles dealing with an incident involving a fibreglass bodied car off the road just up from the garage.

Anyone know if they are OK? I do hope so.

Sorry all. When I wrote "Yes it was 😳" I meant there were 2 faces.

No moonshine involved in the sighting itself, maybe in the typing when we got back

So who was it

Hi Ian ,

Yes it was 😳, but looked pretty clean to me. Might have been the lovely sunshine making it appear so.

That was me (the red one)

Was a lovely blat to a busy Rye. Just a slow lap and straight home

Ta for the spotted.

Sorry mate 😬 I presume being 7'less is a temporary thing though

Park gate sounds good. Hopefully see you there

Hi StEVEN

I saw the C7 part of the reg and thought that it would be perfect on a Seven . Then recognised the rest 😬

I was there a couple of hours ago, so was probably me

Were you in your 7? I did see a tintop flashing its lights in my rear view mirror - was that you *idea*.

I did a quick lap of Rye and started heading back smartish as the clouds were rolling in. No rain here though so I could have stayed blatting longer

Cheers for the spotted.

Yep, ordered my first one with the extra bit and this is my second one, but this one has arrived without so wondering if its going to cause a problem.

I hope not 😳

Hi Steve

I think I remember your first one making a mess on the Bexhill Run - very annoying 😔

Does your Radtec have the extra fitting at the top?

Thanks Mike,

Photos received and fitting procedure understood 😬 Cold drinks at the ready then

Ben

Thanks Mike,

Interesting point about changing the mounts for the rad. You don't happen to know if they were softer or something like that do you

Any more bleeding success stories

Looks like its rad change time again

Has anyone with a sigma engined car had any problems with upgrading to either of these without the extra fitting heading off to the expansion tank

I have read that a few of the standard rads have been fitted to k series cars without problems by blanking this fitting off, but is their anything specific to the sigma engine that needs it? Is it the case that if its bled properly that its not required?

I think we both didn't have time to wave as we past each other. You were heading North (propabably dodging the raindrops like me 😳

I was heading back from an attempt to deafen myself in the 7 so that I could put up with the neighbours building work - It worked a treat
