Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon Exhaust
We had longlife (i think) fit a system to our H4i, On fact finding discussions they asked me did I want it loud and proud, slightly noisy or as factory. I opted for factory as it was a convertable daily runner, yes the note was different but no noiser.

Anyway, the local factors can get one for £51 inc Vat, which is the whole system from 'feet to back' which seems about right on price - I'll find out when I compare it to the one on the car.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Replacement dashboards?
Buy the blue one in London on ebay as it has the specific quantum dash fitted. Gary From: quantumowners@googlegroups.com [mailto:quantumowners@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MatthewG Sent: 15 May 2013 14:25 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: [Quantum Owners] Replacement dashboards? Hi folks, My 2+2's dashboard is starting to look a little tired and rather than just take it out and clean it up I wondered about replacement. A quick search of the forum here reveals that a Mark3 Fiesta, a Vauxhall Corsa, a Ford Orion and, of course, A Fiat Coupé have all provided a 2+2 with a new dash at some point but those threads are all pretty old. I do also recall seeing one Q which had acquired a Jag XJS' interior, up at Stourbridge. I'd like something that is a little more modern and I kind of like keeping a Fiesta connection if I can. I've been looking at the dash fitted to the Mark 5 Fiesta (and Puma) as a likely candidate. A very cursory glance suggests that a lot of the major controls are in roughly similar positions and I think it's more attractive than the flatter dash used on the more recent Fiestas. But I've not done any measuring or thinking much beyond that point, so far. http://www.driving-test-success.com/update/ford-fiesta-2003-int.jpg Image removed by sender. The alternative I'm thinking of is to track down another Mark 2 Fiesta dash and play around with it outside the car to see what I can do with it myself. This way I can explore several options without having to take my Q off the road while I investigate. Sadly those are getting pretty rare, coming up as more expensive than some modern ones. Have any of you considered the Mark5 Fiesta dash (or got further with this idea than I have)?

The ST170 gearbox is actually quite short as it's got 3 shafts (with 3 gears on each) not the normal 2 (with 5 or 6 gears on). It should bolt onto the Zetec block with no problems except some of the lower gearbox to sump holes may not line up. It will depend if it is a silver top or blacktop Zetec, the blacktop should match better. It does use unique driveshaft splines and joints so you will need to get some custom driveshafts made. And, of course you won't have the Mk2/3 Fiesta type mounting locations on the gearbox so those will need to replace.

(so 12 logos on 1 garment you waste 11 logos or 12 logos on 12 garments logo cost is spread bulk purchase of logos is better) flat colours are cheap in comparison.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 alarm problems.
having been in the business of auto electrics / alarms and seeing what is done, I would err on someone in the know. As i said you may find the wires are all black. they dont usually all tap in to existing wires but cut separate and take over control, hence Jims reconnection comments. Personally i would reconnect and solder covering with tape. again may require inserting wire to bridge cut out lengths. Depending on the alarm complexity and installer will ultimately decide on the difficulty to undooo. and once you start your in, until it is out. Have a look if you can find the brain and count the wires leaving it and if they are all black or multi coloured. Again as Jim said if you can get a model no off the brain, get the manual. it will give an indication of the circuits affected and complexity. do your homework and decide.it's your choice.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 alarm problems.
I think the clifford had the LED into a plate with clifford etched or white text on it. Look for a company that fit alarms by cobra cliford etc named brands. by the very nature they can be bypassed by people who know what is what, but if you have a go the cables are normally all black. depending on the complexity it could cut the fuel pump, ignition / starter circuit, door, bonnet and boot pins, etc. Look for the fob shape on line under ebay or e-search aimed at the main players or upload a pic for us to look at. may help to trace a local fitter (remover or failure diagnostic.) Where are you based? Qless On 07/09/2012 22:12, Jim Hearne wrote: The alarms usually use the interior light switches to detect a door being opened. One of these playing up could set the alarm off. So, if you open the doors one at a time, do they both turn the interior light on ? Sounds like the car has a separate central locking system then, so you should (somebody) be able to disconnect the alarm and leave the central locking working. But, the alarm should also be hooked into various other circuits to immobilise the car, these need to be bypassed as well. You need an auto electrician to bypass it, not a garage, most garages are not good at electronics. I'm sure most modern ones have blue leds, i think Clifford were amongst the first but any alarm could have a blue led fitted. Jim On 07/09/2012 20:41, Chris Brighton wrote: Hi, The door switches?

With either solution (relay or JK) you run the risk of getting out of sync where you end up with the flashing LED flashing when the alarm is off and not when it's on. Have you thought about just connecting it up so it's always on? If you mount it out of line of sight when driving it wouldn't be a problem?? I'm curious as to whether Jim's solution would work (if I understood him correctly), because the switched ignition line when off isn't actually a return path (gnd) it's more just a lack of voltage. There may be enough leakage current to go between 12V and the switched ignition to ignite an LED but it's not a circuit.

Also what I was wondering was, is there a relay that could have a permanent live feed going into it and connections from the central locking wiring, so that when the momentary signal is sent from the control box it would switch the relay on or off power would come from the relay to the LED or not depending on the position of the switch inside the relay. Hope this explains what it is I am trying to achieve but being a bear of simple brain I don't always make myself clear. If no such relay is available then I'll wire it in like you suggested.

Re: [Quantum Owners] moving exhaust
On the mk 3.5 1.6 zetec the downpipe has a pip / line of welded at the join say one inch along the side of the exhaust. the split in the mid section has one slit bigger than the other. my understanding is the pip will aid in stopping the pipe rotating. you could try something similar. Qless Gary On 10/08/2012 08:35, Jim Hearne wrote: I take it when you say the exhaust “was scraping the floor” you mean it was touching the ground not the floor of the car. This is the problem with the Mk2 Fiesta exhausts, the entire rear of the system is offset across the car and only has supports on the outside of the system. It relies on the clamp between the exhaust and the downpipe to stop the exhaust system twisting as you’ve found. It maybe that you’ve got a slight mismatch in size between the new downpipe and the old exhaust system and the joint can’t be tightened enough to stop the rotation. If there is a gap you maybe able to shim it using a strip of metal cut off a old tin can or similar. Use silicone sealant on the joint as well, works much better than the old exhaust paste. This is why i think the downpipes crack as well, they are taking all the twisting force from the weight of the exhaust system trying to turn. I’ve added some extra support brackets on the exhaust on my Mk2 and Quantum 2+2 and saloon so that the exhaust system is self supporting without being connected to the downpipe.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: exhaust for 2+2
Maybe worth checking the engine mounts too as on the third replacement exhaust the sales chap said they crack because something else is wrong most probably engine mount gone. Erm no... replaced them as that was the fault that split the collared pipe. so when the third plain pipe failed i took the mount receipts, expecting a fight but they refunded no problem. the final replacement sourced from a different factors had the collar and stayed fine till the car was sold years later.

I don't really know what its worth though? I'm not looking to get a top end price as I inherited the car, I would rather it went to a good home. Its a high spec factory built car from '95 based on an XR2, 1.9 engine, Kent cam, SS exhaust, matching seats and door trim etc. Its all in very good condition, there are a couple of scuff's on the paint and a fair amount of stone chipping along with scuff's on the wheels, the hood doesn't leak and has only covered 10k miles after spending at least 10 years sat in a garage unused. I've been using it daily, rain or shine for the past few weeks and it runs really well. I'm afraid I don't have much documentation/history as the previous elderly owner has lost it.I replaced the cambelt, oil, plugs, 4 tyres and upgraded the brake servo master to a Mondeo one. There's a couple of pictures here, so what do you think its worth and where should I be advertising? I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules here?

If so, it would be relatively easy to get some swirl pots made, probably for not too much money.

there are 3 pillars that mount the mirrors to the mr2 these are too long and need to be cut down. 1 becomes redundant i used the other as a locating lug to stop rotation and one to secure to the car. Equally you could use a bonding agent. you could leave the fore edge like i did but it does not meet the A pillar, but so what :-) . or it looked possible to cut it off but really don't know what it would look like. your choice. Mounting it i worked up inside the door, this is very tight! or cut an access on the inside of the door for an easier fit. then bung or cover the hole. I have the wiring diagram somewhere.

I guess the factory get out would be to swap the good bulb to the flap actuated side. I am however with the others double wire for safety rather than changing lamps at the side of the road in the dark with rain adding to the experience. Qless Gary On 16/02/2012 23:38, Dave the Subbie wrote: I'm sure I've posted this before, but please don't wire to just one side of the headlights, either main or dip. Sods Law states that is the side that the bulb will go on, and the bulb will blow the fuse. Then the flaps will go up and cover your one remaining headlight. And it will go all dark.! Either run another wire and diode from the other side, or run a wire from the output of the lighting switch (i.e. before the fuses). If that goes dead you have no lights at all, so the flaps going up is the least of your problems. I'm with Jim on colour coding. Couldn't see why the electric aerial wouldn't work on the 2+2 until I got the meter out. Both wires to the HRW were brown. So the aerial earth was connected to the HRW +ve.

Join the striped end (Cathode) of the diodes together and take a wire from there to the flap relay coil (the other side of the relay coil is earthed). The diodes mean the the flaps will open if either the main beam or the dipped beam is on, you need the diodes to keep the circuits separate, they will only let power flow from the headlight wire into the relay, not back into the other circuit. Think of them as one way valves for water, or tyre valves, if you fitted 2 valves onto a tyre you could use either of them to blow up the tyre. If your sidelights are next to the indicators you don't need the flaps to open on sidelights, just when the headlights are on. The observant amongst you may have realised that the headlights have separate feeds for each side of the car but the flap motor relay is feed from only one side. If the headlight fuse goes for the side of the car that the flap motor relay is connected to then the flaps will close and you won't be able to see much. If you are worried about this then fit 1 more diode from the other dipped (and another diode from the main if you are really worried) beam circuits on the car.

Chris On Feb 16, 12:50 pm, Jim Hearnej...@quantums.info wrote: You could use these, they should work but they are very much overkill for the purpose they have. You just need a couple of 1N5400 series diodes, these come in a variety of voltage ratings but they start at 50 volts so you can use any of them, 1N5400, 1N5401 etc etc Maplins sell them if you have a local shop. I think the original build manual used the smaller 1N4000 series diodes but i prefer the thicker leads on the 1N5400 diodes for inline wiring in cars. Preferably solder them inline and cover with adhesive heatshrink. The headlight flap relay is often mounted there. Or you can mount it and the diodes inside behind the fusebox and just take the wires for the flap motor out through the engine bay to the flap motor. If you use the sidelights in the headlights, or have the Dim Dip headlight system then you need to connect the diodes to the main beam headlight and sidelight circuits, otherwise use the main beam and dipped beam headlight circuits.

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 Shocks and springs
I fitted monroe gas dampers for a 1.1 fiesta and leigsfords (speller??) springs again 1.1. This was in an attempt to stop the rear tyres rubbing the arches when the boot had a load in. The handling was not improved or changed from the factory built set up. even tho one of the original dampers was leaking the rear tyres still rubbed. So no change to mine. The consensus from people in the know was Xr2i set up at the front and 1.1 at the rear. Q Stourbridge tried sensatracs and other 'cheap' alternatives but could not improve on standard ford for a budget set up. To add ours was built fron a 1.6 Zetec Si and the front corners are completely different to an Xr2 due to sizes of dampers, wishbone pins etc. So be careful if sourcing second hand.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: My Mystery CVH
Quote from http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/engines/development_history_of_the_K.htm An interesting development was the new MLS gasket - seen here, pictured to the right. The new gasket set consists of a steel gasket consisting of 5 layers. In the centre is a steel shim with swaged on fire rings - which appears to be very similar to the original gasket designs. This, like the original gasket is encased by two steel layers - rather like a sandwich. However, in contrast to the older gasket design, rather than using bonded-on 'elastomeric' butyl rings to contain the coolant jacket and oil drain spaces, the gasket has an additional two steel layers on either side of the gasket with swaged / raised areas to provide the coolant/oil void sealing (the gloss-black layer just visible in the image opposite). These layers are there to help prevent any coolant leakage failures - which, on the older gasket design, was frequently due to peel-away of the butyl rings.

Although, given the chequered history of this particular engine, I'm not sure how much I trust the jetting in the current Weber anyway? Head gasket looks pricey at present, Either Felpro at £40-ish or Cometic at £90-ish. Standard one is apparently 82.8mm bore, which would protrude 0.1mm into my 83mm bores. Wondering if I would get away with it?? Felpro bores are 86.7 mm, which worries me with regard to the amount of material left between the bores, and Cometic look like the K-Series gaskets that caused so many problems for MG Rover. So the standard one might be the least risk. (The piston stroke stops 2mm short of the top of the block). I could have measured the one that came out, but I'm not home again until the weekend.

This is why they have to be mounted onto the car at a specific angle. On the later Mk3 Fiestas (without the mechanical ABS ) they did go over to using pressure only valves which were screwed straight into the rear outlets on the master cylinder.

Unless you are advised otherwise by members with actual experience I think that the best way of estimating the saving is to assume that the fuel consumption on gas will increase by 10% eg 40 mpg on petrol equals 36 mpg on gas then do your pricing eg 4.5 litres lpg at 80 p.per litre = 360 p or 10p per mile If you have good sources of supply local to year and most of your driving is within a small radius you might find it worthwhile to use a small lpg tank and to rely on petrol for long journeys where lpg might be harder to find. On the other hand if the source of lpg is inconvenient or distant the use of the largest lpg tank would be favourite. The converter should supply with an insurance certificate on the installation but it might be wise to check with the insurer you use for the H4 to make sure that they are happy about the possibility of a conversion. It might also be worth asking other uses of lpg to see if they have found that it takes longer to refuel with lpg or whether they often have to wait in line for the lpg 'pump' on forecourts.

Re: [Quantum Owners] High Level Brake Light for H4
Dad fitted on to his roll bar, it is fixed (somehow) underneath the roll bar so the cable is hidden underneath the leatherette covering. routing the cable / hiding it was easy. look's reasonable too does hinder the rear view a little but who cares. He reads these posts so may reply with some more detail.

Not wishing the H4 to go the same way, I have tried to find a suitable unit that will fit on the boot lid. I have considered fitting something to the roll over bar that would shine out through the rear window when the roof is on, but routing the wiring will be difficult to do neatly, and attaching the LED strip to the rollover bar will be awkward. I tried to get hold of an Audi TT convertible unit, but the one I was sent was actually for a Coupe, so as it is designed to mount inside the car, may be not too weather resistant, so probably no use. Anthony Stafford produces an after-market unit (which would do except it’s going to look very “stuck on as an after thought” with visible fixings) and the later Mazda MX5’s have a suitable unit that fits on top of the boot lid as well, but I haven't found one yet: there's a chrome cover for one on eBay...but not the light unit itself. I looked at a Ford Street Ka unit also, but it appears to fit into the fairly carefully pressed boot lid panel and I don’t want to have to cut the boot lid about. There are Rover 25 spoilers with integral lights available on eBay …I remember a picture of an H4 for sale that had a spoiler with integral brake light fitted…but what I want is for the thing to fix with just 3 holes: two to secure it and a third to take the wire, all hidden by the unit itself.

The truth is that a Mk2 without MoT is going to have to be pretty special to make more than £300 - 400, and a 2+2 £600 - 700. With MoT and tax, you could say the same cars would be £700 - 800 and £1000 -1500. I've bought three and sold one in the last year. (Don't ask..!) The above are governed, largely, by the alternatives on the wider market. Mx5s, MGFs, MR2s, XR2s, etc. etc. and the number of people with a non-runner kit car in the garage that they have lost interest in. Often that they bought second hand and didn't build. Now, the problem for most of us is that, having spent hours and money on our cars, their open market value is such that we won't get it back if we sell them. Which is why most of the best cars aren't for sale. I guess that's a fact of life. But it leaves the problem that, if your car gets written off, the only way to replace it is to buy a less special one and do lots of work to it to get it to the same standard. Which is why we need agreed value insurance. to cover the work involved. And particularly if it's someone else's fault - when you would be really annoyed to be offered the sort of money above for your immaculate 2+2 turbo 4wd nitrous injection with electric hood, kangaroo leather interior and diamond jewelled instruments, etc. (Don't tell me someone has one..!) The other problem is that, having built the ultimate car, it's not possible to sell it on to finance the next project. Or persuade other stakeholders in the household that you aren't just throwing good money after bad every month.

If so my mondeo failed in a strange way, where the test bloke said it looked like the Lambda was at fault but would have expected 'X' to be out as well which it wasn't. The fault diagnosed by another garage after trying the lambda pointed me to a rubber 'T' piece on the crankcase breather to inlet manifold round the back of the coil pack area. the engine also used to hunt at idle. so 'If' the 1.6 has one try that or breaking the fault down there is fresh air possibly geting into the inlet after the mass meter (or mass meter duff reading) my MK3 fiesta flashed a code via the clock led and had a diagnostics plug in the engine bay.

Andy Heaton gave me the idea, in a post on this group. Apparently, he has been using the technique (albeit using Scotchbrite pads) for some years. Other people seem to have done so. I only used the blaster because I happened to have it anyway. We have lost some elements in the heated rear window, but I don't know if they were OK before. I did try to mask them, but I'm not sure if the tape damaged them. So that's something to be careful of, I suppose.

I was initially wondering if anyone knew of any source of old stock ford parts, but I am going to have to sort something out. Maybe we should give it a few days to see if anyone comes up with anything? I used an S section seal for my side windows on the hatch. I bought it by the metre at Stoneleigh. The original was more shaped, maybe like a Mk3 Fiesta 3-door, where the extrusion includes a fillet that seals to the panel surfaces. But my car will never be concours, so it is a good enough solution. Mark, I wish you had said the other day. I have a rear window seal for a coupe in the garage. I just filled ours smooth with the adhesive and didn't use the seal. I'll see if I can find it. But I thought it was a Cavalier or Sierra part, not Chevette. I thought the Chevette seal was for the Mk1 side glass (although the glass itself has a VW/Audi part no, so I would be wary unless the information has good provenance). By the way, I have a Zebrazone windscreen if anyone has a use for it. Removed from my Mk1 and replaced by a laminated item. Good for originality, but I wouldn't use it on safety grounds.

I've hit a (minor) brick wall in re-building my Mk1, and I'm wondering if anyone can help, or suggest where I can get a part from. The Front Suspension struts are from a Mk1 Fiesta (the type that attach to the bodywork by 2 M8 studs). The bit I need is the circular spacer that locates the top spring mount on the damper rod. It is a sort of top hat section with a large diameter of 45mm, 5mm thick, and a small diameter of 26mm, 4mm thick, and 19mm hole through the centre. I need 2 of them, as they have cracked up on both sides (which probably explains the 'clonking' the last owner complained of). My local Ford dealer identified the part (Cost just over �1 each), but Ford no longer keep it. The Fiesta Centre don't keep it either. I can get some machined up, but that will be expensive when compared with finding some old stock, as I don't have access to a lathe, so I'll have to pay someone to make them from scratch. I know it's an off-chance, but do any of you know where I can get them from. If I do have to get some machined up, then does anyone else need any?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Fiesta Wishbones
Jim My guess (waiting to be shot down in flames) would be you have the standard mk3 ones if you don't have power steering. Our old H4 was a Mk3.5 and had power steering with an ant iroll bar. The dampers were a larger bore ergo the hubs were different. looking at some old pictures i have of my swap it looks like the anti roll bar fits to the dampers so do you have mounting parts for the drop links?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: What would you design.
When asking for something from J.Sampson for the H4, if it was not on the shelf he did not want to know. I needed the bonnet light covers. - the reply i got was we don't have any left and wont be producing any more. What a way to treat 'the marque' - there was talk of the lens moulds being about somewhere at lodiswell and a willing manufacturer if the moulds were about, to supply quantum at reasonable rates. The trail went cold due to this uninterest. I had Ian cummings a former owner take the 1 i had left and a spare my dad has for his H4 so he could mould some rudimentary ones for me and fine tune the process so others can benefit. The were several interested owners recently so I feel we have helped the world of Q last that little bit longer. A genuine ford catalyst was cheaper from quantum as i could pick it up as i am local. so parts maybe cheaper if arranged to pick up at a show but postage would probably stall other sales. I have thought there maybe mileage in a single chassis vehicle with different bodies like the extreme / napier. tho more based on the coupe theme. It would keep costs down with the customer being able to choose. It is encouraging to find the early cars could have the roof chopped off no problem. so you could make one monocoque different fronts, rear roof lines, tailgates etc. inspiration from all manufacturers 'facelift' motors. I still wish all the best for New Q and you owners, which is why I am still chipping in although i am Qless.

Quantum Heritage have made no announcements on what they plan to do with the 2+2 and sunrunner (only that they plan to develop them). The sunrunner is a very niche market, so the 2+2 would seem to be future but it's already an expensive kit to buy and there are other more modern cars at comparible prices (Marlin 5exi springs to mind). I 'd be surprised if they had sold more tha a handful in the past few years as they were focusing on the Xtreme and and some of their 2+2 parts (as opposed to the Ford parts) were unavailable. When I was rebuilding my car I was told on several occasions that parts were no longer stocked and were not planned for production. Does anyone buy Ford spares from them? i suspect only a few. I have spoken to John Sampson a couple of years ago and found him to be uninterested as soon as I said I was a 2+2 owner. This may not be the case but it was the impression he gave and if he is reading this then sorry John but thats how it seemed and I know others feel the same.

This is just my opinion and i might be wrong but I don't think that the Xtreme will ever complete with Westfield and Caterham just because of the kudos of these names. I also don't think that it will compete with the smaller lotus 7 type cars on the track due to its extra weight. Its all down to power to weight ratio and therefore the Xtremes sales pitch of being more spacious is missing the point with the majority of the people who are buying 7's at the moment. Hopefully the new owner can change this. I also think they need to catch up on the bike engine scene too. However if i had to buy a Lotus 7 type car as a daily or summer car i would buy an Xtreme as I think its the best option for this use. The Napier is never going to compete with the pure track cars for the same reasons as above name and way to heavy! Therefore i think this rules out the pure track/ fast road design! The Sunrunner was out of date before it started you can tell this from the slow decline of buggy replicas in the industry. The lack of sales also point to this. Therefore no buggy!

Re: [Quantum Owners] Electric windows and central locking H4

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 Suspension Exhaust
Hi Sam After much talking to those in the know, Quote # the best set up Stourbridge could find for the H4 was. 1.6 xr2/Si ford dampers and springs with 1.1 fiesta set up at the rear. # This is dependent on budget. An expensive fully adjustable set will obviously be better. - So question is what's your budget? Heeding the advice based on budget i got some lleiigeford (spelling??) springsfor 1.1 fiesta and monroe dampers for same. with a loaded boot the wheel still rubbed that arches a little but not bad. I up rated the bushes in the front wishbones with polyflex parts - tightened the front end up really well :-) i also did the antiroll bar bushes at the same time. The wishbone bushes were a bugger to get out and a fiddle to get in so you could get a local garage with a press to do it for cash to make it easier. removal and refitting the wishbones is easier if you drop the wishbone carrier. my nuts were captive but dads are not. so be advised you may need a second hand or to struggle a bit to line them up to get the bolts in. Feel free to PM me if you want pics or to chat.

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 Suspension Exhaust
Ah Exhaust I had one made by longlife to mate to the cat. really good finish. Some (magnetex??) exhausts were based on the 1.4 fiesta that have hangers in the wrong places. The other thing to bear in mind is to have the centre section 'keyed' to the cat/decat pipe. on the back of the cat i had a lug / lump. The centre section had a larger clamp slot than the other side. with these locked together it stops the centre section rotating so holds it up in the tunnel. without this keyway the furthest part under the pass side floor drops down under it's own weight. Poor design.

After trying many and various suggestions by the group I finally dis-assembled the engine and found nothing conclusive. Fast forward to July: I obtained another 1.8 zetec engine from EBay, swopped it over and it started first turn of the key, MOT'd and taxed I ran the car for only a week and the head gasket blew ( make note not to buy an engine from Ebay ) I then removed the head and transferred all of the ancillaries from the second head to the original head as that head had been skimmed and looked in good order. Refitted it and now I'm back to the beginning of the original thread i.e. good spark, plenty of fuel, timing is right, but the bugger wont start !!. I have checked compression which is there but lowish, but is even across all cylinders, is it possible that after the head skimming the valves are not seating properly, I was told that the valves had not been touched. Whilst trawling the net as you do I hit upon an old statement about someone elses problems with no resolution that said: Did the guys who skimmed the head recut the valve seat then bed in the valves ?. Bet your bottom dollar the car will start with a bump start but not via the key. Check the compressions on crank, then whilst trying to bump start, you will get next to nothing on crank, but spot on on bump mode. had similar concerns myself. Its worth chekin before the head comes back off I haven't tried bump starting as I believe you can kill the cat with flooding with unburnt fuel, but the previous owner stated when I bought the car that it had run when bumped. I may try removing the cams and checking the compression again? Any other suggestions ? just to recap the only part reused from the original engine is the cylinder head. Apologies for the waffle.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Squeaky Brakes
On a private piece of land with sufficient space you could clamp each hose and drive it to pin point 1 wheel system at fault and look closer at that one. Of course the braking would be severely compromised so be real careful. can the system be tested on axle stands?? also beware the risks and chock the floor wheels really well. have an assistant brake whilst pinpointing the wheel. Or sweet talk the local mot centre with a rolling road and check there? the rubber backing on the EBC pads is to stop the squeal like the compound on most new pads i have seen. Could it be a different load on the drivetrain pushing joints onto something?? Just my thoughts. Gary :-) Qless. Matthew Wastell wrote: I've not had to use copper slip for the same reason on production cars and standard brakes as Jim mentioned. I don't remember if the ebc greens on the 2+2 had it or not though.

I initially suspected glazed pads, after exchanging emails with Wilwood. I de-glazed the pad faces, which helped a little, so on the suggestion of Wilwood I upgraded the pads to a higher spec material, going for EBC Green Stuff. I fitted them Sunday afternoon and went out this morning to bed them in, but the squeal is still there. When breaking harder the squeal appears to die down or disappear completely, but at this stage I'm not braking too hard as the pads are still bedding in. This afternoon I have taken the pads out and fitted the stick on shims, which are supposed to reduce brake noise, without success. I have also re- bent the anti-rattle springs, so they are putting more pressure on the pads. I have also taken the rear drums off and inspected them, but all looks OK there. What else could be causing the squeal, as it's embarrassing to drive.

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 front fog lights
To add to Roberts post there will be two powers 1 low current via the switch to the relay. so check power and status eg lights onto get power. if that is there then check the ground also at the relay (when you find it) secondary power high current from the battery via the relay to the lights. you can bridge past the relay high current side to check the lamps are ok if power is present. Being a 2+2 i would check where the wires go from sub frame to bonnet as this will be flexed and weaken wires. (note how newer cars have cables, in longer s shaped tubes in the door shuts / boot. this twists the cable along its length to ease the problem of bending) High current to relay could have been bodged from the head lamp lighting cct also.

Matthew will co-ordinate all 'orders' with Ian so no duplication. Ian did mine as a */one off/ * with a view to help a friend but was aware to keep the moulds to aid other quantum owners in the future. If you are thinking about it, the cost will be cheaper if you get some now, due to the material cost per qty made and tooling up time. As one off's go they are more expensive - naturally - but talk to him and see what the prices are. If you can get your hands on a spare set of lens covers this makes it easier to create a mould.
