Hi Guys and gals.
Anyone needing to contact me for any reason please use this thread, it will be checked daily.

If it's for something you do not wish to post on open forum then you can send me a PM.

This could be for anything, quick questions about the Nano, items i may have for sale, do i have any photos of certain jobs etc.

Cheers Arctic.

Hi Steve,
Question: I seem to remember there was a thread listing a replacement for the lower seal on the front windscreen of the 75s,on the other side.
Do you know which seal it was?

Hi John.
I am unable to give you an 100% answer to that question because I've not been involved in it, I'm sure Dave will give an answer before Saturday or I'll try and get one from him and report back.

No gas refrigerant being done at this meet, i have been asked by a few members if i knew or not, which i didn't as I'm not involved, so contacted Dave whom was originally organising it, and he sent me this reply below.

(HI Steve,
After having only a mixed reception at the last meeting, like people who originally wanted to use him, now weren’t sure, I had a hard think about it.

Although he said he would come if 6/8 people wanted their cars done, I did not want him to come and only a couple turned up who wanted a service.

I also looked at the long weather forecast and on Saturday it looks like it is going to persist down with rain, so I phoned and told him that, and that the meet might be cancelled.

I did not want him to not book anything for his business on that Saturday and loose money.
So I am afraid he will not be coming this meet.

I have suggested that perhaps he could come next year perhaps in late spring early summer when people are using their aircon more.
See you on Saturday…………..hopefully.

Dave)

It's now official that I've stepped down from being admin on the Nano forum, and also from the crew, the crew page will also denote this, it really needs an update to that page and as done for quite a while because quite a few do not attend no more and have not done for ages.

I will still be coming to the Nano meets but with out carrying any responsibility for it's running or organising, so as a layman so to speak, I will still help when i can with owners cars at the meets that I go to.

Will keep my eye out for the 2026 dates.

Hi Jeff.
No PM received and no pictures, can you not post them up here if not then send them again please.

Hi Steve - what I was looking for was the pictures you produced of the diesel lower engine mount bracket modification using the ford mondeo mark 3 engine mount. The write is there but the pictures look as though they have been erased.

Many thanks - Jeff

Hi Jeff.
Yes most of if not all my photos have been blanked due the new rules, anyways if i was you i would steer clear of the ford Mondeo mounts they are not that good and need quite a bit of fettling to fit properly I have a mount in the shed somewhere i will dig out and take a photo of it tomorrow and load it up with my new photo hosting platform I'm currently using.

Hi Steve, thanks for your articles and advice on plenum/sunroof drains on the 75 club, much appreciated.

Do you know who can make a spare key for my 75 please? Also looking for someone as near as possible to S Wales to do the bonnet cable. sunroof drain & plenum mods. A T4 (Testbook version 4.Computer Diagnostic System) check and 160 would be a bonus.

Regards.
Chris

Hi Chris.
Yes i have answered your message on the OC try and get in touch with Terry Shaw he will most likely take it on, doubt anyone else will this time of year.

Perfect, many thanks Steve

Hi Steve
Hope you are keeping well - I have an intermittent fault on my diesel at low speed and revs and I wondered whether you might be able to help. If I am say following traffic in town at low speed the engine is missing ( kangaroo in) - once I get on say a motorway then it’s fine - it sits at 70 all day long and does not miss a heartbeat- do you have any ideas what I should look at.? I have had this problem for a while but beginning to get worse - any help would be appreciated
Regards
Jeff

While you wait for Steve to reply with my CDTis I pay attention to using a quality injector cleaner additive in the diesel tank when filling up. Because even if that is not the problem now, it may avoid need for a future repair. I think Steve uses Comma injector cleaner.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280727978877 ... R6rNo6SmaA
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311964146600 ... K5P4W9ND4S

I have been using Mannol

Jaywhy · Posted 13 Oct 2026, 07:55 #20

Ed3 - although not the additive you suggest I have used a diesel injector cleaner but to no avail - any other suggestions would be appreciated- thanks
