    series III 88 hardtop restoration

    They are quite big. On the plus side, the speedo now read ms correctly when compared with my Waze! I can fully understand how that could happen. I'm not planning anything mad, we're quite happy pottering around those sites. No interest at all in trying to get through bogs and similar (fun to...

    series III 88 hardtop restoration

    Hi @Marmaduke A couple of bits, but nothing major. Decided to take the truck to a pay and play a week or so ago and to replace the tyres beforehand as originals were badly cracked. Turned out they're still tubed, which led to its own challenges. Long story short, I bought a 2nd hand set of...

    Is this a 12J??

    Thanks Flat, that's good to know. Not planning on wading and oil could be from an overheat last Sunday (the thermostat packed up). I need to give the whole engine a clean up so will keep an eye on whether any more oil appears there after. Thanks again

    Is this a 12J??

    Hi again, another question! I did some light off roading last weekend and didn't get a chance to wash the truck down after. The mud has dried over the week which has made it handy to spot oil leaks etc (not an ideal way to spot them i know!). I was just under the truck (going from under the...

    Jnr is 14. He's done a driving course at Snetterton racetrack already and was really good (in a manual Mini). Just need to find some space for him to get have a go and make some mistakes without too much risk of doing any harm!

    Ha, well that's the plan in the longer term! Need to find some private land to get him behind the wheel a bit sooner though :)

    Is this a 12J??

    Thanks @Blackburn, really handy to know, when we strip it down over the winter I'll look at adding this on when put it all back together.

    Is this a 12J??

    Hi @Rodeo Joe, thanks, nothing there. The overflow pipe from the rad simply empties onto the ground through the engine bay. I'll post a pic later today.

    Couldn't resist another trip back to the same ford today. My youngest son jumped out to film both crossings and got his feet wet from the bow wave! All good fun

    Is this a 12J??

    Yes it is a Series. OK, thanks, good to know, thought someone had done a bodge job on it or something!

    Is this a 12J??

    Quick Q. I cannot see that I have an expansion tank for coolant. The hoses run directly to and from engine to the rad. Does the 12j normally have an expansion tank? If not, how do I check coolant level? TIA Chris

    Bled the fuel today so Seth's back up and running! Went out for a quick drive with the kids this morning and went through our first ford in the truck. Not too deep, probably only half way up the wheels. Fun anyway. Quick video below. We'll do it again sometime and get a video from the outside...

    series III 88 hardtop restoration

    2nd bench seat in today. Oil service done, new fuel filter and radiator drained and refilled. Need to bleed fuel lines tomorrow. Clutch hit the floor today. A clutch fluid top up sorted it, but think clutch is on its way out as barely any travel before reaching the biting point. Not too...

    series III 88 hardtop restoration

    Agreed, its peeling a huge amount on the bonnet and wing tops, but always assumed I'd need to do a fair bit with the bodywork/paintwork, so will have that joy over the coming years once I take it off the road!:confused::cool:
