[Quantum Owners] Re: front springs for diesel saloon

[John Woodward]

The original springs on my Diesel 2+2 gave a very harsh ride, I tried
Fiesta Diesel springs & the car was too low but the ride was better,
but still not I wanted, then swapped the struts & springs from my CVH
engined Saloon, ride was OK but bottomed out on a rough bit of
motorway due to being too low. Have now fitted a pair of s/h Quantum
"Red" springs & the ride is great, has not bottomed out at all after
700 miles in North Wales (on some very rural roads) & the ground
clearance is slightly better than the original springs. So  at last I
have the ride & ground clearance that feels just right, Red springs
worth a try if you can find any.

[Quantum Owners] Re: update on blue shell from fife.

[John Woodward]

If I remember correctly, this shell was previously registered, the V5
being sold on EBay, as far as I know this is illegal. It should be
possible to regain the original registration without the need for an
IVA test. The DVLA V765 form & process would apply, see

[Quantum Owners] Re: update on blue shell from fife.

[John Woodward]

I understood that if you could prove the car/shell had previously been
registered then the V765 could be used, a lot of older Kit car clubs
have a V765 person who can inspect cars on behalf of the relevant
club, I have heard of several cars that have had thier original
registration number reinstated & the "new" one being subjected to an
SVA/IVA test.

Maybe it is time for the Owners club or Eddie to investigate joining
the V765 scheme as these 2 are not the first to have been cloned.
There is a Locost/Robin Hood type using a 2+2  chassis number, it was
even using the QSC Stourbridge number plates when I saw it, the owner
had bought the car as a Quantum 7 & wondered why there were not any
cars the same as his.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Stafford Show

[John Woodward]

According to the list of clubs attending, the QOC do not have any
space reserved, so are we just parking with the others in the "free
for all" ?

[Quantum Owners] Re: Stafford Show

[John Woodward]

I thought it was a waste of time, only 4 Q's on the Saturday turned
up, the lack of trade stands was very dissapointing & £10 to get into
the hall for non kit car drivers was in my opinion an absolute rip
off.

[Quantum Owners] Power Steering on a Saloon/2+2

[John Woodward]

Has anybody fitted power steering to a Saloon or 2+2? If so is it
possible using Ford "stock" parts or is it a case of using a Vauxhal
Corsa or MGF type electric power steering column with a variable
control? I'm off to look tomorrow at a Mk 2 Saloon that was factory
built in 1997 which the seller assures me has hydraulic power
steering.

Vince,

I have looked again @ the Saloon build manual & can find no reference

[Quantum Owners] Re: 1800 zetec - mondeo 2000 conversion bits. Hard top & bonnet?

[John Woodward]

I'm waiting to collect a "factory" built Saloon which I have
purchased, that has power steering that was fitted at build by old
Quantum, it's a hydraulic system. Driving it yesterday, the steering
felt much easier at low speeds, but not too light when on the open
road. New QSC list a power steering kit @ £1410 part no.S250 but I
suspect it's for an H4. I will try to find out what components are
used, my  turbo diesel 2+2 is very heavy at low/parking speeds & would
benefit from power steering.

Maybe 2+ is used because with the seats back far enough to get a
decent driving position, there is no room for the +2!

[Quantum Owners] Re: Headlight problems, can anyone shed some of the proverbial?

Andy,
I still think it's the fuseholder going open circuit under load,
especially if you get 12volts @ the connector with no load, try making
up a "test" bulb (under 5 watts) & see if that lights up.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Power steering saloon.

[John Woodward]

According to Paul @ QSC (Devon) they fitted the Power steering in 2001
to my Saloon, which I'm sure was the year that everything moved to
Devon, if so the Power steering kit may have been around when "old"
QSC wre still in Stourbridge. I will try & pursue the parts used
further, if only for future reference of sourcing any related spare
parts.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Power steering saloon.

[John Woodward]

I believe that the all electric (motor) power steering used in Corsa's
etc have electronic control which reduces the effect @ higher speeds.
When using the Corsa power steering in RWD Escorts etc.a control has
to be fitted, I've seen these boards on EBay,they use a manual control
to vary the effect of the power steering, have a look at item no.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Exeter

[John Woodward]

There is normally just a free for all parking, no club area's, just
try & park together. We will be going on the Saturday, hopefully in
the "new" Saloon. Hope more of us turn up than at Stafford this year.
John
P.S. the old magazines have been very interesting reading, thanks.

[Quantum Owners] Re: I think I may have found the problem...

[John Woodward]

I appreciate what you are saying about the wiring, my 2+2 had a few
gremlins which took a while to sort out, the Saloon which was factory
built also has a few oddities, like 6 red wires going to the electric
mirror switch, its difficult to trace. But compared to my old tax
exempt kit, everything else looks almost perfect.

Found this kit on EBay for £68 delivered. Item no. 190279422025

[Quantum Owners] Re: On E-Bay

[John Woodward]

I live in the Thames Valley area & nearly all the good B roads are
50MPH limits, one that used to be a 60MPH limit was regularly checked,
someone got done for doing 65MPH in an MGB (he was flat out!), they
have several vans & use them in the most obscure places, driving
around here is not a pleasure, it's almost impossible to go out for a
blast anymore. But when I go to Snowdonia the roads are fantastic &
I've only ever once seen a speed camera van up there. I sold my 7 type
car because it was no fun around here, the new owner lives in Scotland
& only had 2 speed camera's in his county & had never seen a camera
van until he came down here to collect the car.

Thanks for the info, it should be MK4 Escort then, as it is chassis

[Quantum Owners] Re: Mk 2 Saloon lower wishbone

[John Woodward]

The nice old couple who reckoned that there were only 127 made had a
red MK2 Saloon with a 1.6 Diesel engine, they live near
Wellesbourne,Warwick & had built the car many years ago, they both
were still very enthusiatic about thier car & had covered 120,000 +
miles in it, but new that Vince Orme had done in excess of 200,000
miles. Having believed what they had told me I was suprised to find my
Saloon was Q4-205.

I believe that somewhere near the 450 mark is correct for the 2+2's,
the old Smartgroups used to have a list of owners & thier cars & I
seem to remember the highest chassis no. was around Q2-450 ( my 2+2 is
Q2-253).

As you say it would be interesting to know production figures, the 2+2
is of course still in production, as most of us saw the new body @
Stoneliegh last year on the QSC stand.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Mk1 1 chassis no 015 on ebay.

[John Woodward]

Yes it has been on before recently & last year. Due to its distant
location & the cost of collecting I think it is putting people off. In
realtity I feel if it had an MOT it would have sold long ago.

MK1.So I think I can accont for 7 of them, Jim has 2, Robert Hooper
has the one for sale in Cornwall plus another one, there is Eddie
Ruskins old one down in Devon (unless he has purchased it back) &
there is bright red one near Manchester that is on the club

[Quantum Owners] Re: Removing adehisive stickers from Gelcoat

[John Woodward]

Not sure about any possible damage to Gelcoat, but I've always used
White Spirit for removing stickers @ work & from cars, it needs to
soak in for a couple of minutes, but it does dissolve the adhesive
even on the most stubborn ones.

I have seen the car & in my opinion it's too good to break. It does

[Quantum Owners] Re: Polybushes in an H4 back axle?

[John Woodward]

For what it's worth, I feel that polybushes give a harsher ride, but
greatly improved handling. My 2+2 is Polybushed all round & handles
very well ( with a heavy TDi lump), my Saloon is on rubber bushes, the
ride is much better, but it does not handle quite so well ( I realise
the suspension  is different at the front & wheelbase different). As
usual I have it all the wrong way round, the TDi should be in the
Saloon & the CVH in the 2+2, or the Saloon should be Polybushed & the
2+2 on normal bushes. A Matthew said, if it's your everday car & you
are not too worried about the handling then stick to rubber bushes,
but if you want the best handling from your current setup then
Polybushes are the way to go.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Budget 2009

I understand that to qualify for the £2,000 allowance, you must have
owned the car for 12 months & it must have a current MOT. So that
scuppers most plans to sell something on  "project" cars & Mot
failures, so the new owner can qualify for the allowance.

[Quantum Owners] Re: [Quantum Owners]

[John Woodward]

My Saloon has power steering which was apparently fitted by new QSC in
2005 , it uses an hydraulic rack with a pump from a Puegeot or Citreon
I believe & makes the steering OK, not too light. I spoke to John
Sampson @ Exeter show & he reckoned the hydralic system could not be
fitted on a 2+2 due to lack of space, they sell a kit which uses a
Corsa electric column for 2+2. Having driven 2,500 miles over the
winter in the Saloon, its a bit different when I drive my 2+2, which
has an 1800 TDI lump which makes it very heavy to say the least. I
have tried a 16" steering wheel in the 2+2 in the past & it was quite
good, but looked totally wrong for the car.
>From what I understand the Corsa column needs an electronic control &
the after market ones on EBay offer a variable control.
If you do go the Corsa route I would be very intersted to know what is
actually involved.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Are all 2 + 2s Mk2 Fiestas

[John Woodward]

Some Mk3 parts will fit, but suspension etc. is totally different,
there are diffeerent front subframes for different engines, but they
can be modified to fit a Zetec instead of the normal CVH. I made new
door cards using MDF covered with vinyl & used late Metro door pockets
so that  bigger speakers can be fitted. It is possible I believe to
change the dash, but its not a quick change. The windows may well
respond to silicone spray lubricant in the channels (mine did) & the
seats can easily be replaced but may need new holes drilling, I fitted
Fiesta Si "wing back" seats to mine & are really comfortable.The
gelcoat is a pain but responds to Farecla G10 rubbing compound,
followed by a decent wax polish, but does not last unless the car is
kept garaged. The switches are easily obtainable on EBay, but the
holder is more difficult to find. Water leaks can be stopped but need
a fair amount of time, see Jim's website http://www.quantums.info/hood.htm
for some good ideas.
Hope this helps.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Quantum 2+2 Brake Master Cylinder

[John Woodward]

You have the late "B" type master cylinder, £125 on Brakes
International  http://brakeparts.co.uk/ . May be worth trying to find
an early "A" type Servo from a Breakers (£ 5 to £ 25) to go with the
master cylinder you have purchased, but the pipe connections/positions
on the cylinder are different, but you would save a load of money.
That's what Idecided to do with my Saloon if it needed a new master
cylinder.

It's about the same size as Exeter, but has a lot of Autojumble stalls

[Quantum Owners] MOT Emissions testing

[John Woodward]

My Saloon was first registered in 1997 & is fitted with a CVH engine,
the tester insisted that it wa tested as a '97 car (with Cat.) & would
not accept my protest that the engine was older & would therefore not
meet the emmision standard he was testing it to, so it failed the
Emissions test & one other fault. When I check the online MOT testers
manual it just states it should be tested according to the age of the
engine, ( the flowchart is not shown online). But when I check back
before current manual all Kit cars built before SVA ( which mine is)
are considered to be used before 1 August 1975, which is just a visual
smoke test.
Can anyone help clarify if this still applies before I go back for a
retest.

[Quantum Owners] Re: MOT Emissions testing

[John Woodward]

Tony, thanks that was what I was looking for. The usual tester/Garage
owner was not present & I had a "new" tester who did not even know how
much to charge me, the Garage owner is normally OK & even goes to
Stoneliegh Kit car show.The turbo diesel 2+2 always passes OK & the
other Kit car is Tax exempt (1971) so there is no argument that  as it
is visual only.

[Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Gearbox

[John Woodward]

My diesel turbo 2+2 has a 3.33 final drive, about 2,800 RPM @70mph,
which aids economy,but does not give a rapid take off, 59MPG on a long
run, 57MPG normal use. The only way I check fuel economy is to fill to
the brim, then drive 300/400 miles & fill to the brim again. If you
are really keen you can record every time you fill up & then work it
out over a year!

[Quantum Owners] Re: Fw: Hi & help

[John Woodward]

I think you need the type BC gearbox or later IB5, my turbo diesel 2+2
has a "old" QSC supplied box wit a 3.33 ratio which gives good fuel
economy but not rapid acceleration. I'm sure others can give you
better advice.

[Quantum Owners] Re: MY BRAKES WORK....YIPPEE

[John Woodward]

I like a high brake pedal, so, when I adjusted my Servo (with trial &
error) everything was fine, until using the car on long journeys, when
itermittenly the front brakes would bind slightly. It was most odd
that driving 900+ miles on holiday in a week, it would only happen
once or twice, a further minor adjusted sorted it out,

[Quantum Owners] Re: To Turbo or not

[John Woodward]

My Turbo Diesel 2+2 does approx 60 MPG on long runs, 57 MPG for normal
short commuting runs & 54 MPG if really pushed hard, performance is OK
but is not brilliant on acceleration (about equal to a Vauxhall Combo
1.3 cdti van), but once it's going its not too bad & cross country
times are fine, the 1.8 non turbo is very slow in comparison ( I once
had a Fiesta 1.8 van), the 2 Q owners I know  with non turbo diesels
saloons, both reckon on 58/60 MPG, so I would advise the Turbo as it
does not use any more fuel & gives a fair performance.

I've no idea what mods have to be done to the engine bay, but I'm sure
someone can help. If you need any images of the Turbo etc. just let me
know.

[Quantum Owners] Re: To Turbo or not

[John Woodward]

In my turbo  diesel 2+2 , the mk2 fiesta fuel tank does not have a
swirl pot, this was the diesel tank supplied to the orignal owner/
builder. The engine is a 1995 spec, again supplied by QSC it was "easy
to wire up as the wiring just plugged in" according to the original
owner, wiring was not his forte as I've found out over the years, but
the engine/glow plug wiring has been fine, I'm sure I have the wiring
diagram supplied by QSC, I'll look it out so I can scan it for you. My
2+2 has an mk 4 Escort RST radiator & intercooler. I agree with Jim
that a late MK3 Fiesta would be an ideal doner, thats what I would
look for if I was to convert my CVH enginrd Saloon ( which I decided
against), don't forget you will need a bigger battery ( or 2 on a
Saloon ?) a high output alternator especially if your fitting EPAS. It
may be worth contacting Andy Heaton as his Saloon is the sister car to
my 2+2.

[Quantum Owners] Re: No more driving with the top down ?

[John Woodward]

How many of us drive 2+2's & H4's with the windows down on long
jjourneys ?

Quote from the report "But they also found motorists can cut the noise
by rolling up the windows when driving with the top down.

This simple measure cut the level to 82 decibels"

Long journeys in 7 type roadsters (Extremes etc.) without the
sidesceens on is quite unpleasant but very exhilarating !

[Quantum Owners] Re: Reversing sensor

[John Woodward]

I fitted reverse sensors to my Saloon,( for the same reason) but used
a conventional type which meant drilling the holes for the sensors,
took about 90 mins. to fit & works very well. The one I used was
called Easyfit, it used wireless technology, so you don't have to run
a wire from the boot to the display. Like the look of the Parking
Dynamics PD1 though, will consider that for the 2+2.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Mk2 Fiesta Light switch

[John Woodward]

I've had them fail on both Q's during the last few months, the Saloon
one just failed on the sidelights, the headlights still worked, the
2+2 one failed after driving for an hour or so with the front
foglights on, since discovered they were not wired through a relay,
also burnt the fuse box as well.
Have you any extra lights wired in that may be drawing too much
current for the switch to carry over a period of time ?
May be worth fitting a relay between the light switch & lights so that
the switch is not switching such a high current.

[Quantum Owners] Re: H4 DOORCAPS

[John Woodward]

The 2+2 door capping's are NLA from QSC (even though they have the
moulds) & are different to the MK3 Fiesta any way, I'm sure I spotted
a new set of polished wood capping's for a MK3 Fiesta a few weeks ago
on EBay, but I cant find them now. Do MK3 Fiesta ones fit straight on
to H4 doors ?
I've been looking for 2+2 door cappings for a couple of years with no
luck.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Mondeo TD Engine - WAS: Fun in the snow

[John Woodward]

If it's of any help, my Turbo diesel 2+2 has a 3.33 final drive,
( built by the same person as Lord Q was) as Andy has said it's not
quick off the mark, but pulls about 2,800 RPM @ 70 MPH in 5th. so
still has plenty of power, if driven hard consumption falls to about
54 MPG, long runs can get about 62 MPG, average daily use on local
short runs average 57MPG. I never feel like I need another gear, but
have thought a normal petrol engined final drive would improve
acceleration, but of course reduce the fuel economy.
The gearbox/final drive are the Mk 2 Fiesta ratios for the 1.6 diesel,
(as far as I know) all as supplied by old QSC to the original builder.
It uses 185/55/14 tyre's.

Tony,

I will get all the information from my build manual of my Turbo Diesel
2+2 & email it to you over the weekend. The original builder, Colin
Richardson told me the wiring just connected straight into the Fiesta
loom.

[Quantum Owners] Re: RS2000 front brakes on a H4 & Rear suspension.

[John Woodward]

When I first had my 2+2 the brakes were terrible, the Servo test
worked, so I changed everything else with no effect, then decided it
must be the Servo, which I replaced with one from the breakers &
everything was fine, my conclusion was that the servo was working to
some degree but far from efficiently. So don't always assume the Servo
is OK if the pedal drops when the engine is started.

[Quantum Owners] Re: OT pausing turbo diesel MK4 fiesta

[John Woodward]

Had a similar problem with my Turbo diesel 2+2 a few years back,when
under load or higher rev's, was fuel starvation due to clogged filter
in the tank.

[Quantum Owners] Re: LPG Conversion on a Saloon

[John Woodward]

Most of the work installing LPG is I would imagine is running the
pipework, placing & securing of the tank etc.which most of us would be
capable of, the "work" would need to be carried out to an"Approved
code of practice" & provided the installation was thoroughly checked
over & commissioned by an approved installer there should be no
problem in obtaining the necessary paper work for the vehicle
insurance company.
Don't forget though that LPG has a very low flash point of between 2%
to 12% mixture to air, but is a heavy gas & therefore would find the
lowest level. Incidentally CORGI is no more, GAS SAFE is the new body
responsible for installers etc.

Russell Wilcox recently purchased an LPG Saloon, so he should be able
to advise you regarding performance etc.

Hi Eddie,

Which type of wheels are you looking for ? An image posted on here
might help track some down for you, failing that a daily search on
EBay may produce results, I have waited over 6 months to find
something I was looking for.

[Quantum Owners] Re: KN Dimond wheels

[John Woodward]

Hi Eddie,

It may just be that KN made them for another companies, so try
searching ALL 13" whees.
I found  that the alloys on my Saloon were manufactured by CMS, but
were branded TSW. I was told that TSW could only supply parts for the
current wheels, but the CMS UK distributor managed to get the centre
covers in a couple of days, even though the wheels were 11 years old.

[Quantum Owners] Re: new to Quantums, new to this group 2+2 with questions

[John Woodward]

Hi Jin,

Congratulations on getting a 2+2 at last, was it the one on EBay from
Derby ?

Where are you based ?

As far as I know the door capping's are no longer available from
Quantum, they have the moulding's, but quoted me £100 each a few years
back, because  basically they did not want to make them, things may
have changed now they are Quantum Heritage, worth contacting them.

Hoods can be obtained also from Glyn @ KAP, he has them made by the
original makers, they have the smaller rear window, which tends not to
get creased when the hood is down, mine was quite a bit cheaper than
Quantum quoted. I'm sure someone will have his phone number.

[Quantum Owners] Strange electrical problem with Saloon

[John Woodward]

Just been away for a few days in the Q Saloon, had a very strange
electrical problem.  After about 120 miles, smoke came briefly  from
the wiper/lights stalk area & the wipers came on permanently, even
though I had not used the wipers for days, when the fuse was removed
the wipers worked in the Off & Intermittent wipe position's only, I
thought that would get us home, but then the wipers stopped working at
all until I refitted the fuse, then worked normally, then reverted to
the previous fault, so I finished up making up a fused switch to fit
instead of the fuse, needless to say after a couple of times all is
working  OK & we used the wipers most of the journey home. My
suspicion is that it's something to do with the parking switch in the
wiper motor, By the time I was able to start testing circuits etc. the
fault had disappeared.
Has anyone had this type of fault or any suggestions as to cause.
John
