Hi,

I too have bought a hood form Ian Sims.

Ian Sims sells a lot of stuff on Ebay under the name of 'Carhoods'
where his address and email can be found.

Not sure where you are in the country, but John who runs the SG7s club had a
new hood for his Merlin made in Baldock Herts.

It looks like an excellent job too. When I get around to it, I am going to
take the xtreme down there and get a new hood made up. Maybe this one will
not leak...

On second thoughts - it's an xtreme - it's going to leak :-)

him).

I'm in Slough Fun City, famed for it's Mars Bars. The prospects are
looking a bit brighter than 24 hours ago- I've found a welder who's
confident he can fix the sills, but I'll have a better idea by the
weekend. I had a chat with Eddie at Dynamic Moulding today, and it
won't get crushed. I'd like to nurse a bit longer out of it as a
Fiesta, but I'll try to keep the running gear in good nick as a
potential donor.

Re: [Quantum Owners] CVH Turbo died

2011-03-22 Thread jon jackson
Oh dear I am no nearer finding this fault than a week and a half ago. I have 
good spark and plenty of fuel at high pressure so either a weak spark under 
load (but that would start but break down).
The cambelt is fine and timed up correctly as are plug leads and cap.
It must be the fuel distributer so my next step is to see if the injectors are 
spraying some.
I will check all hoses yet again.
I will change the coil too just in case. ( I do have a big spark though)
When I try to start it it will just catch the once and no more.
Any more ideas gents?
Plase

  Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] CVH Turbo died


  I'm assuming this is the Escort KE injection engine as you mention the pink 
relay.
  The fuel pump relay on this system does have a engine speed input but it's 
only supposed to be so that the fuel pump stops if the engine stops running
  When you crank the engine do you hear the fuel pump still running ?
  If the relay had died completely you wouldn't have the engine running at all.
  If you look at a wiring diagram you can link out the relay to prove it's not 
that.

  Have you checked all the intake hoses, if one has come off then the air 
wouldn't be going through the air flow meter and it would supply very little 
fuel.

  Another fault could be the centre contact on the distributor cap, this can 
break off and then the spark only manages to jump the gap at higher engine 
speeds.

  It's when the engine is decelerating that the cam belt can break or jump 
teeth (if it's too loose), my Mondeo failed under braking a few months ago 
though on that it was the tensioner pulley that went.
  Bent all the valves on the head :-(

It will not tick over or run below about 1500 rpm, much as if it had an 
inlet air leak but I have sealed the servo etc to check.
I suspect the big pink fuel pump relay, any other ideas guys?
When you try to start it it runs a couple of revolutions and stops.
