yer i thought about the strip but then its just another thing to get the polish out of did some knob key your bonnet then mate

[jayrs]

thats true

yeah they did mate, after i finished doing the restor in 2008, a week later i went to lego land with the wife and kids, left the RS park in the road, came home to find some c**t had keyed it right across the front, and a few cars down, they keyed that one too basicly the 2 cleanest cars in the row, there was even my mums, (at the time) brand new car parked 2 cars up from mine, but dirty, and wasnt touched

i should of done it by now, but i left it for some time incase they keyed it again, then i got a garage, and never got round to it, but then that grage used to flood and the roof leaked, and cause i had a old double quilt cover drapped over the car, this got wet, i found it wet some time later, by which time it effected the paint on the roof i swapped to a garage on the other end of the row when they redone all the doors and roofs, use a halfords advanced car cover which is water proof and now (touch wood and all that) have a garage which is dry

prob kids that done it though, who knows, its the second time it was keyed in the since moving there in 2000, but now, i dont live there anymore, im up the road on a new built estate, i have a drive way for 2 cars next to the house, so it can sit on there when ever i wanna use it, but i leave it at the back behind the galaxy

[tat2cliff]

there sickos mate

[jayrs]

yep, but you get them.
still, if i ever caught anyone, its a safe bet there need someone to wipe there arse for about 6 months as they woulodnt be able to do it them self

unless its kids, then you cant do jack, although maybe there dad would need his missis help for 6 months if he didnt pay up

[tat2cliff]

i recon get the dad lmfao, listen mate any idear where i can get a new gasket for my idle control valve? mine needs a good clean out but i'm frightened to take it off in case i knacker the gasket

[jayrs]

fords mate, unless you have some gasket paper then you can make a new one.

tbh though fella, your prob find the gasket comes off easy enough, how well it seals when refitted i cant say, but iver reused iscv gaskets on my rs in the past with no issues, if you think its might leake, give it a very light smear with some blue gasket sealer

thanks again mate, ran some wynns rad flush through the rad today and then flushed it with a hose and already its cooling much better and the heater is now giving out volcanic heat which will please the old lady,just the new water pump and belt now so should be good for fordfair

[jayrs]

good good, sounds like you had a bit of a blockage in there, did you notice any lumps or was the water just plany manky

LUMPS! Loads of rust and crap came out to be honest mate

[jayrs]

sounds like ya sorted it then fella, might not be any need for the new pump... but as you have it now, you just as well fit it
