   I was a bit confused until I realised that the fuse/relay box is upside down. Relay 92GG 17C499 BA.

   Now I need to get one to try out (hope this is the issue)

   Can I find a 7 prong relay anywhere? No!

Thanks Paho

   Its the drive mechanism, the motor is OK.
   The problem I've got is the parking of the wipers doesn't work nor any of the intermittent speeds. I have normal & fast only.
   I have no idea if any of the other cars have intermittent capability but the Ford wiper switch has.

   The long number seems to be the batch number and it would seem that it was unique to AC for these motors.

Very nice photo's.

   Well the fuel leak is fixed and the soft top works. What more could you ask for? ..........The drivers door lock working would be a bit of a bonus!

   Just down the road from Newport Pagnell, seemed a nice spot.

   Oddly, so did the TNT entrance.

Max - Fuel leak from petrol regulator joint, having a bit of pipe and connector made up. Should get sorted by next week. Fingers crossed.

Lovely photo. I tend to agree about the rubbing strip.

Its a shame that more people don't post pictures there is hardly any mention in the magazine either!

How much do the changes cost roughly and what additional output would you expect?

Hi, Thank you
The car came with a hood as well as the hardtop. The hood works thankfully [

The side window doesn't quite fit the hardtop correctly, so not quite weather proof at the moment.

Hi
   Thank you
   The number is 43R-00115 VSG Tinted.
   A question about the 2011 register.
   You mention that DE064 is a Mk 2, this is the one I have, but I assumed by the bonnet and number it was a MK3? Can you explain please?

Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Spot the difference

« on: August 26, 2017, 16:02:50 »

I decided that as I was stuck with the aluminium dash a few improvements might make a difference.

   All ended up a bit pricey, but I think it worked.

   The rear door pillar I had to recover and managed to get an off cut of black leather which mean't that any further marks wouldn't show.

   Filling the hole for the hardtop was a bit baffling, and then a eureka moment. Why not a sink/basin blanking plug.

   Thank you to Paho for pointing me in the right direction for the steering wheel.
