Best put a top up gallon in then ! Sounds like you were having fun... How wide does it feel compared to modern stuff? James Its about a wide as a mondeo but with slower manual steering so junctions and tight gaps need some judgement. A left hooker too, so its just a matter of getting used to it. |

Then a short jaunt to my local garage for some tracking...but that failed as the falcon was too big for the tracking plates on the ramp.   |

Doesn't matter, still looks awesome!

Really enjoyed watching this evolve.
Falcons are a nice size for a yank in this country I think, not so large as it can't get around easily.

We popped up to the Sunday Scramble today and had a look at this, do like it  It is a nice size... was expecting it to be bigger (like the Pontiac Bonneville that we also saw!) |

We popped up to the Sunday Scramble today and had a look at this, do like it It is a nice size... was expecting it to be bigger (like the Pontiac Bonneville that we also saw!) They are classed as small cars for that era. Same width as a classic range rover and about the same length as a Jag XJ6 |

So early sunday morning, I met up with ChasR of this parish at the local cheap petroleum shop to fuel up prior to a gentle* jaunt from Warwick to Bicester. We cruised down the m40 at an easy 60-65mph and all was well. 2 mins from the bicester heritage gate Chas pulled over to highlight the #roadkill style plumes of smoke coming from the off side rear tyre. Swiftly parked up in the show and discovered a blown half shaft seal which puked axle oil on the rear wheel. The easy option was to call the AA and get a lowloader back home to save the axle. The bonus ball was no drive home so a few refreshing beverages from the Wriggly Monkey brewery onsite at Bicester Heritage. *Chas advised later we made "good progress" above 65mph.....ahem.....    |

Halfshaft stripped. Just waiting for new bearing to arrive.  |

Looking at your various photos of your halfshaft, especially the first, are you sure it is not bent?
