I wrote to Goodwood a few months ago regarding some of the Sussex scouts doing litter picking etc at Goodwood to raise money for their trip to South Korea next summer. They have already charities allocated and hence declined. What they have done is to send me two Friday tickets to sell on / raffle etc. I can forward the e mail from Goodwood as proof.

Ticket face value £64. Looking as close to this as possible but will take £50 each. You can collect from me on the day ifyou wish as I am there for the weekend

Regards Jon

Hi Chris, can I have first option on the 5 speed box etc, regards Jon

I have just fitted a Raceline sump to my 20l zetec with a type 9 alloy bellhousing. The Brise starter fouls the bottom of the sump.  Can anyone give the part code of a starter that would fit? The ring gear is 18mm back from the face of the housing.

Regards Jon

I have just started it with every thing connected and the battery was at 12.57, but when running it dropped to 11.7 and dig not increase when revved. Possibly the alternator not wired correctly?

Would 11.7 have an effect on the ECU?

Thanks Geoff, the lamda sensor was only in while it was mapped. I am going to contact Steve to see if he can check the ecu as I can't see anything else. Might be time for a new unit!£££ It does seem like over fueling as the plugs are fouling up.

A bit of a long story so please bear with me. 2L blacktop Zetec on Jenvey throttle bodies 
A couple of years ago I was setting off to the classic Le Mans. The car had been running fine. I put the battery on trickle charge over night and when I set off in the morning it ran like a sick dog. hesitating and missing all the way to Newhaven. When I finally arrived it cut out and refused to start. I had a spare set of plugs which I changed and noticed the crank sensor wire was next ti the live off the battery. I moved the cable away and it started and ran like a watch all the way down and back. 
When I returned to the UK the car broke down 20 miles off the ferry. Turned out to be a dead cell in the battery. so I purchased a new battery and alternator as it had stopped charging. 
After a new battery and alternator I can't get the car to run cleanly, it hesitates and misses and will not tick over. It smokes with a whitish plume and the plugs are sooty. I have replaced the following; 
Plugs, coil pack, leads, air temp and water temp senders crank sensor as well as draining the fuel. 
Any suggestions as where to look next would be appreciated. 
I have spoken to Steve at road and race who originally mapped the car ( it ran like a dream) and he has said that the ECU would either work or not. It must be something simple but it is driving me round the bend. The ECU is from 1999 so 20 years old but has always run fine.
Regards, Jon

Just in case anyone has a few around. 10mm fuel rail O rings, where the aluminium tube links the two rails

As the title says I need a replacement for my Zetec. 

Many thanks

As the title says, one set of seat runners.
