A bit of tape over the top of them works wonders

Mine appears to run hot but only recently. I don't trust the gauge. I discover when I switch the heater fan on and off the gauge swings fairly wildly. Some sort of earthing issue on mine I think

ah, a popcorn moment 😶‍🌫️

That's why people have apollo tanks

No doubt its an earthing thing but why should my water temp read high (like 120 deg) and shoot down to 90 if I switch my heater fan off?

Sorry I misunderstood. Fitting the angle drive alone is easy. I read into it removing the oil seal and replacing, my mistake.

With the zetec it is a progression (holes) issue which is why so many people originally running carbs are now on tbs.

yes but its a bstard and having done it I'd not recommend trying again. I finally ditched mine for an electronic speedo and sensor on the front wheel. No more speedo drive cable issues. It might be easier if you have access to a ramp / pit

Bear in mind that the spring base suits on a circlip like ring. The ring clips around one of a series of grooves in the damper body. It may be that your circlip-like ring is on one of the lower grooves and this can be changed. Just don't ask me which groove it's supposed to sit in!

How might one learn?

I don't find that my seven 'pulls'. Steering wheel alignment can be resolved but IME you need an interested indy preferably a seven specialist to ensure this is done right. I also think there can be loads of things wrong with the front end of a seven which is worth getting checked or by a specialist if you don't feel able. This should be done before you adjust the tracking. Typical fail points: rack adjustment, steering column top joint, steering column ujs, loose rack attachment bolts, loose/missing camber lock nut and maybe track rod ends too.

Mine's been spongy for a bit and weeps at the front. I think I should look for a race m/cylinder the same diameter as the standard one. Then the construction should be suited to 7 usage but the feel remain the same. Just need one that uses the same mounts. Must confess I don't enjoy the prospect of bleeding it throughout again.

Well if you don't mind a slight hijack, I'm intruiged by the girling upgrade route. What are the details/costs/suppliers? Edited by - millsn on 7 Jun 2012 20:09:15

Consider using a stud instead
