dawson Bad luck mate
It may be too late but matt(tex) has 2 x 4 speeds for free ATM in the classic ford forum grab them both and you will have spares!!!
I just read your sig you have a 5 speed(which one) in yours it wont be a straight swap man,you may have to do some mods
cheers

Awsome weekend!! who would have thought I would have come back from Melbourne with a tan It was a great show, and plenty of laughs with everyone. Does anyone still have those millers glasses from the pub?? I know the pub ran out I love roadtrips & the random things that you see when you least expect it, like seeing a massive submarine about 300km from the nearest ocean !!! Thanks everyone for a great weekend & the icing on the cake was winning best club display I'll be back next year!!!
P.S. hope everything works out for you Dawson, keep us posted. |

Finally home!! Got back at about 11:30 last night. My dad picked up a Sierra 5spd from Brian at Small Four Spares and drove it down yesterday morning, got there at about 1:00, we went and had lunch got icecream and I got back at 2:30 and they still hadn't started :( It did only take them 1hr 45mins so i was outta there by 5:00 and on the road.
Then some pigpoo poo richardhead stole my CD case OUT of my car at a servo through the window, and then my bloody headlights wouldn't work. They still don't work. No idea why but i had to drive with highbeams for 200km and I pissed off ALOT of truckers doing it, I tried to be courteous flicking them off as I passed but it's a bit scary driving with no headlights at 115km on pitch black roads..
Oh and then one my tail lights wouldn't work and i put my fist through it. All in all I had a poo poo day. |

Hi Dawson sorry to hear about your troubles I had a good drive back.Your light problem is caused by the blinker assembly on the steering column as I used to have the same issue with my Escort. |

Ah so what is the solution? Make any difference that the light-stalk falls out every now and then? lol |
