sust the wipers out too,forgot the earth strap from the body to the motor on the front,nothin wrong with the back,hadnt connrcted the cables  so it looks like all systoms go now....glyn

[glyn]

Took it for mot today it passed ,didnt do it myself i'm on sick,the warer pump is leaking bad so it'll have to come off,this wasnt new it seems to be leaking between 2 bolt holes very strange as it had a new gasket,so its back to the spanners over the weekend  hope you'r all well....glyn..ps planing my moggie 24v next,can i put it on here it'll be all ford gear?    

[glyn]

A little by the way,if you buy the bga engine gasket kit the water pump will leak as its the wrong shape the boys in the garage made me one it's now ok,also the rocker cover gaskets could do with a little bit taking off the metal insrts so that they will tighten down a bit more,had a slight leak but cured it like that...car is now on the road but i can't drive it as yet...regards glyn

[Taps]

Well done Glyn

ps planing my moggie 24v next,can i put it on here it'll be all ford gear?    

The answer is in the title m8 FORDPOWER, will the moggy be ready for Ford Fair  

if you buy the bga engine gasket kit the water pump will leak.

Perhaps you should have brought a BOA gasket set in stead of a BGA one
