what are you trying to read? if it's the abs you only need to jump a wire and remove a relay in passenger side footwell, info is in rave i believe and can be found on the net

Thanks for the offer but i don't want to take the car too far away from stock for now, besides when mrs rusty's classic fails the mot i might turn that one into me greenlaner instead :)

thanks fellas, i'll fab up some box section out of some nice 2mm galvy with sleeves for the bolts, now where did i put that spare 5 minutes... :p i guess after all the chassis mounting is not exactly beefy anyhow.

Yep i can knock up some spacers, just need to find somewhere to get the metal from, ally or steel as it needs to be about 150mm x 45mm x 40mm. Don't really want to weld anything to existing mounts as want to keep it reversable should i put the old girl back to stock suspension at a later date...

eye i appriciate that the arb will limit movement but even more so now as it is so much closer to the prop than before, i'm just surprised there isn't as many firms selling arb spacers as there are selling lift kits ...

I've finally given in and fitted a 2" lift to the old rangie and was just wondering if there is a spacer fit available for the anti roll bars or whether anyon'es done it or not? do i need tio bother? Tis especially the front i was worried about as after the lift it has brought the arb closer to...

personally being as you say it's not that rusty and you've treated it i would use the zinc primer, any kind will do spray or brush then i'd use some proper chassis black paint over the top as it doesn't crack and has a smoother finish which stops crud sticking to it as much it isn't expensive...

Corwen car wash is easy to find, nice gated ford, from bala go past buffalo farm on right, at traffic lights turn right, down to bottom, there it is. The wayfarer is a lovely route over the berwyn mountains with grat views, a little rocky in places but we did it on our own in our rangie a couple...

Yeh springs back well, feels lovely and smooth like a new cable should. I guess they are all like it but feeling for the stop on pulling the cable there is a positive 'stop point' but then if you pull a little harder the cable will pull out another 10mm or so, I even had a look at mrs rustys one...

ok i managed to find the time to play with the rangie but to no effect ... grr tried cable nice n tight then slackened it off a few times til there was plenty of slack in kickdown but unfortunately to no effect. Any other ideas would be much appriciated :-)

Thanks for that i'll give it a try tomorrow ;)

Thanks chaps, I couldn't find any info on how to set the kickdown cable, as far as i remember haynes simply said ensure it doesn't stop full throttle operation ... i turned the actuating cam round half a turn or so to connect new cable then just set it up so it has a tad of freeplay with...

umm interesting, thanks chaps but now not sure if it's getting into 4th or not but revs at any given speed over 55 are higher than they should be even with foot off the gas so i assume it's not getting 4th? oil seems fine as i had to drain it to replace the kickdown cable. How is lockup actuated?

Long story short i changed my autobox for a supposed low miles good secondhand one, now i have no 4th gear .. checked all the obvious bits oil level etc but torque converter is not locking up at over 55mph? infact i've had it up over a 100 and still no fourth just a load of revs! Any ideas for...

yep there are 2 or 3 motors depending on model year i believe. Mines a 93' and has 2 pumps one for rear and one for front and headlamps. They are located on the back (ulkhead side) of the washer bottle

Bit of a late reply... but thanks fellas for the tips, corwen was a minor disapointment as only just over the cills but a nice looking ford nonetheless and our kids loved it :D Oh and the v8 made it through without a splutter for a change! The wayfarers was a nice few hours out, just about...

Thanks fellas i'm gutted i can't put me muds on and do some of the more fun lanes but appriciate the help with tame ones.

a bit last minute but I'm off to north wales (corwen area ) next week for the family holiday, I've got paper maps and will of course check lane status on web before i go but have not been to the area before and wondered if anyone could help with suggestions of driveable lanes? To make matters...

yep you were dead right, thanks fella, cable on, all sorted :)

i read that on rave, assuming you mean to pull the quadrant round to pre tension it before fitting cable end? cheers:)
