Thanks for the replies. High pressure side unfortunately, I've tried BML Hayley but they can't do it. I'll have a look for other companies in the area.

I've been told that the Power Steering Hose for a Honda Civic EG6 is no longer available. Can anyone recommend a company that can make one.
Thank you

I look forward to seeing the progress on this Manta. Looks like you've got one of the earlier 1.8s as they only started production in 1982. I've got the Corsa EPAS fitted on mine, it's a common conversion on the Manta. Does the BMW axle have a lsd?

I've managed to upload photos using Opera, looks like it a Microsoft Edge problem.

Don't know if anyone can help. I've been trying to attach pictures using the add pictures button or by drag and drop with no success. I'm using the Microsoft Edge browser. Thank you

I've tried several times, they're all saved as jpeg's. No idea what's wrong.

Apologies for the delay, I took the photos on my wife's phone then forgot about them.

I sent the Manta gearbox away for reconditioning 6 months ago and I'm still waiting for its return! Hopefully it will get returned before any of the shows.

I used some 3M 08509 to seal a leak on the bonded rear window of my T4 over a year ago. It worked so well I did the same on the front windscreen when that started leaking a few months ago. Everything is still dry at the moment so should be ok on your MR2.

Textured vinyl ems1

The functional film is more suited to flat or slightly curved surfaces. You would be better off with a cast film if you want the vinyl to conform to the curve at either end.

As many have said start off at the grassroots level, Autosolos are a good start if you want to practice your handbrake turns, etc. For a 12 car you can use your daily. You can use a standard car for Road Rallies and Targas, but on the roads around here a sump guard (& tank guard if the fuel tank is under the car) is essential. Useful additions include spotlamps, map light, navigators foot rest and a digital clock for timing. Give the car a service before the event and go out and enjoy yourself. You don't need a powerful car, the best tyres, etc. Keep an eye out for novice events which usually have easier navigation and avoid rougher roads. You could always use your Escort on demonstration events which aren't timed like this one: www.historicrallyfestival.com/site/Plenty of information on getting started here: www.motorsportuk.org/

The steering wheel on my T4 Caravelle is the same. I was looking for a replacement but I think I'll try your trick. Thank you for the write up.

My Dad is thinking of selling a 1992 Civic EG6. It's done around 145700 miles and has an MOT until September next year. It's standard apart from coilovers and the rear exhaust silencer. There are patches of rust on the car. He was going to get the bodywork done and the car re-sprayed, but as it's not getting used much and it's kept outside he thinks it's time to sell it.
Where would be the best place to advertise it and any idea of value? I know my nephew had been offered £5k for it a few years ago. I'll get some photos sorted.
Thank you

Always enjoy reading about your road trips. We get to experience the travel, food, sights, people and the cars without being there ourselves. As stated previously I appreciate the time you give to write these reports.
