Thanks Elie, just making sure. I will send the fuel rail, injectors and 4 coils to Mav at his home address. I will send next day delivery to arrive by Wednesday nightand I will have to let you know the postage costs and then I'll mail you to total. I guess the postage will be £12 Regards Andy Edited by - Andy Doughty on 19 Mar 2012 21:15:39

Hi Elie To make things clear- There are 4 coils and each one fits directly onto each spark plug and the are controlled by the ECU. It is not a single unit. have a look at this web site and it will show you a similar item www.plugtopcoils.co.uk Cheers

Elie You have mail ref the coil. Mav Waiting for Elie! and will contact you when I know what he wants. Regards Andy

Hi Elie I will have a look at postage and letb you know Andy

No, I mean each plug has a coil straight onto the top of it and there are trigger wires from the ECU. All the VW/ Audi have them although I don't know when Ford started with them. I think the latest Duratec Caterhams have them. My existing system has a single coil and them plug leads to each cylinder.

A couple of years ago we had a "whoops moment" at Cadwell an a few valves touched a few pistons. After I stripped it down and saw the problem it's been sat in the shed. It a 2001 engine. So... 2.0 HE block with good crank needs new rods, pistons and end bearings. Unknown mileage but the bores show no signs of significant wear and no lip at the top but needs measuring properly. £40 Sold to Simon Cylinder head with a mark between the valve where a valve head struck after it had brocken off 🙆🏻 Needs new guides and valves so may be ideal for a big valve convesion. Has all the cam followers and springs £ 25 Standard fuel rail from a 1999 2.0 HE Focus complete with injectors 10,000 miles £ 20. Sold Coil on Plug units off the same Focus, 4 of them and were running OK £ 20 . Sold Cam chain cover £5 Sold to Simon The bits are in York and would be better collected but postage or carrier costs by the buyer. May take offers but the bits a very cheap anyway!

Got a Mondeo and that has vertical elements. Certainly very effective at this time of the year!

Perhaps the sun would reflect more off a horizontal element making it more visible?

Just seen this. Nah, too cold for Ice cream, it was sticky buns and coffee sat on the market cross. I know how to spoil a girl

Hi JJ I have sent you a mail Cheers Andy D

Hi Dave Have you sold the pistons and rods? If not please send a few pictures of the "scuffs" on the skirts. Who is the manufacturer? Cheers Andy

A friend at work is looking for a car. He is inclined towards a Duratec but a high powered K may be on the list. 160 to 200BHP wide track LSD 5 or 6 speed FIA bar. He is keeping an eye on the for sale section but anyone selling something in the future? Mail me and I'll pass it on Cheers Andy D

Hi Jon If they are di-dion fit I'll take them Cheers Andy

Thanks all Redline have got one in the post for me They appear to be a good place to deal with and gave advice on some pitfalls on the fitting.

I'll give them a call ( and check the hub)

Cheers for the prompt reply. Is that Redline Components? Edited by - Andy Doughty on 26 Sep 2011 20:35:20

For a 1997 with the adjustable bearing kit. Caterham don't have stock and I have given up adjusting the wear. It is well and truly shafted.

I went to Dutatec 4 years ago and have been very happy. Had a 1600 X flow with a 100 hp sprint motor to 200 hp duratec that does 10 mpg more running around (35MPG)and 16 mpg at Cadwell giving it penty of right foot! I just love the torque and it is very quiet until the Jenveys sing 😬 It's a good project . I did it myself and even resorted to make the engine mounts to save cash ( remember,from Yorkshire!) It can get expensive as already mentioned on previous posts.

I must agree that "no bolt" option does look the best. Mine have been on for 14 years although I was a little nervous so I stuck them on and then used fibre glass mat to lay over the tube to the wing as a safety check. The will never come off even in a shunt ! 😬

Close the eyes and press the pedal a bit harder (and gag the wife)

I didn't see anyone because of the mist and rain!

Check the gear box mounting has not moved or worked loose and is restricting the stick going forwards enough?

Thanks Jason, can I let you know. I assume they will fit a standard Duratec fuel rail and head?
