hi Adrian, will try to get some pics uploaded when i can, i was a member of this group a few years ago when i first picked up the Legerra but not had much to do with it lately due to work/wife commitments but i'm determined to get her rebuilt and on the road this year. I have just about all the parts i need, i think, the only obvious missing part at the moment is the Dashboard but then i'm not too keen on the standard one anyway so will probably make my own one. I'm also not keen on the hardtop either. the dimensions just seem wrong somehow so once shes on the road i might look at a redesign there too.

lol, Since this is my only car I drive the old girl all the time. Luckily the police have not noticed my light problems. Turn signals work now. Brake lights are next.

Hmmm, I do not quite understand what you are asking. lol, probably British terms.

Hey! That'd be great. Damaged might not be the right word. It's more like corrupted on purpose? I attached you a couple of low quality pictures. The car came with a spare 7 nose, a pair of calmshell wings and two rear fenders, which were originally planned to replace the distorted parts. But I don't really want it to be a wannabe 7. Yet, it was planned to replace some parts by aluminium (like aluminium panels) and create some kind of individual design. But I'd be more happy to see that original Dutton face on her. Long story. To answer your question, it'd be especially front parts I'd be looking for.

Thought the linkages were the same for Fords.i could and am quite often wrong, anyway its the type where the 90 degree bent rod goes through the spring clip, hope that helps.

1600 X/Flow ade, as far as i can find out it should have a  32 DGR, but its been running a  32/36 DGAV  which is an auto choke but i converted it to manual.

Just for clarity, it should have read "........ having been motivated, by Adrian's extensive technical knowledge, have endeavoured to read the Haynes manual......... " must remember to read through before pushing send.

Simply a naturally intuitive interpretation of the philosophy adopted by the majority of the members of the almost spiritual experience of being a member of this erudite organisation. Never mind the dictionary havemotivated endeavour also read the Haynes manual for the Cortina 1600E which formed the basis for my S2, read it many times, still at times a complete bloody mystery.

Good but of info on the S3 hardtop there Adrian, thanks!

Hi Adrian,
You will have seen the question raised by Francis regarding his Yellow Melos with XR3i engine.
I have no issue in responding to Francis but have no idea of the issue. I put a search for Yellow Melos into the site but the only search item that came up seems to relate to a DVLA issue Would appreciate any information you may have or any questions you have for Francis in order to get clarification of the problem.

True but a mad house where everyone is certified with the same complex which is comforting for the sufferers and confusing to the uninitiated
