[Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 headlight flaps

[John Woodward]

The circuit for the flap relay is in the build manual. I recently 
completely rewired everything on the bonnet on my 2+2 project, all new 
wiring and connectors, the relay was attached to the headlight on the 
nearside and didn't operate until the dipped or main beam were used. The 
relay is now on the front subframe and is operated by either the main beam 
or the sidelights,
I'm afraid I don't know the answer regarding the legality of just having 
the sidelights behind the flaps.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Headlamp upgrades

[John Woodward]

My 2+2 is 1985 registered and the cheap Ebay H4 Led headlight bulbs would 
have failed the MOT, the tester let me fit the original H4's. I then 
purchased a pair of Osram H4 Led headlight bulbs, which made a fantastic 
difference, but a lot of people were flashing me, as I was dazzling them, I 
then adjusted the headlights to lower the beam slightly and now nobody 
flashes at me, I can see so much more and the car has passed 2 MOT's with 
no problems.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Advise or help please

[John Woodward]

Many years ago, a local owner had the rear glass shatter in his Mk2 
(smooth) Hardtop, I advised him the one that was listed on Smart group, but 
that didn't fit. eventually he found the Mk3 Golf fitted.

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2 + 2 hard top for sale

[John Woodward]

Apologies, getting confused, that was the roll bar fitting instructions, as 
I have one for sale as well.

The front fixes as Jim said, then 2 bolts go through the side, holes have 
to be drilled, then 2 plates which clamp the rear in place.

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2 + 2 hard top for sale

[John Woodward]

Hi Derek,

I can confirm that roll bar  fits inside, the front fixing is located 
underneath the top seat belt mount with 2 extra M8 bolts with a reinforcing 
plate underneath, accessed through the speaker holes, has 2 mounts on the 
rear shelf, 2 M8 bolts through the top & 1 through the back seat area.
As I have not removed it from my car, I don't know how watertight it is 
around the hockey sticks, added to that the drivers door was out of 
adjustment, so the top of door window glass was about 13mm away from the 
hardtop, I did adjust the door & it didn't appear to leak, the donor car 
was factory built, so I think it had extra sealing applied.

Email me at john.woodwar...@gmail.com for photo's.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Any Ideas??

[John Woodward]

The inline filter that I fitted was to replace the one in the tank, stops 
any muck getting into the pump. I now have an easily replaceable filter, 
rather than one in the tank. From past experience the filter in the tank 
gets restricted over many years  can cause the symptom Mark is 
experiencing, I first had this happen on an Escort Sport way back in the 
70's.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Any Ideas??

[John Woodward]

In both cases the problem suddenly appeared, the car would start, the 
Escort with twin choke Weber, was OK if only the throttle was not opened 
far, when it cut out it would not restart for about 10 mins  if driven 
slowly would be OK. The diesel in the 2+2 would misfire at low revs, when 
driven over 30 MPH would cut out, but start again. In both cases removal of 
the filter in the tank  fitting an inline one cured the problem, the 2+2 
has done about 25,000 miles since changing the setup. On my Rickman I have 
removed the filter  fitted an inline one, just as a preventative measure.

 Agree, my thinking was that there is a coarse filter on the pick up as you

 on the pick up side it could cause flow problems/ cavitation.  Was just a

 Did the problem gradually come and get worse or did it suddenly appear?

Re: [Quantum Owners] meaasge for Jim Hearne

[John Woodward]

Why don't you ask on the Rickman Forum ? I'm sure someone on there will 
know.
I take it you already have a type 9 box, so it should be relatively 
straightforward, but if replacing a 4 speed (type 2,3, Rocket,Bullet etc.) 
then it is not so straightforward, as the prop needs to be shortened, plus 
lots of other changes.

 go is to buy the whole car and rob the gearbox (at least I'll know if it 
 works), sell as best I can the rest of the bits on ebay, and scrap the 
 shell.
 Any advice (re the box). It looks like they will all fit (if 1.6, 1.8 or

 that these are now extinct for the later (1988  1989) XR2 so my car is now 
 sitting at my mechanics in bits whilst alot of head scrathing is taking 
 place.
 Someone told me that a non ABS Mondeo set up could be used although 
 considerable work is required to fit this  the bar running along the bulk 
 head needs to be made adjustable to enable the brake pedal to be adjusted 
 but this seems to be more work than I'm willing to investigate further, has 
 anyone else had this problem with a late XR2 based Quantum  if so how did 
 you overcome this or does anyone know where a service kit could be obtained 
 from or does another service kit from a different manufacturer fit?
 Seems totally crazy that such a simple part from an 80's Ford cannot be 
 obtained  makes me wonder how both MK2 XR2 owners  kit car owners are 
 keeping their cars on the road if such simple service parts are no longer 
 available?
 Any help with this will be very, very much appreciated.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Bonnet

[John Woodward]

Apparently the front subframe is different on early cars, there were I'm 
informed only 4 round headlight cars made (I have seen 3), this information 
came from Glyn, who had many years at Stourbridge, then of course KAP, (my 
friend went to see him this week) so he should know. We have been offered a 
bonnet (with flaps), which comes with the frame because there are 
different front frames, my friend is currently exploring this option.

I agree totally about the quality of Eddies work.

[Quantum Owners] 2+2 Bonnet

[John Woodward]

2+2 bonnet wanted by a friend who has a badly damaged one. The blue round 
headlamp one on the owners club website will apparently not fit (according 
to Glyn, ex QSC  KAP).
Ideally white, but any colour would be OK.
Anyone got one going spare ?

Well done Jin, can't wait to see the finished job.

 Im feeling rather pleased with myself today since after 2 hard days
 graft ive finally got both halves of my car back as one, the POR15 has
 done a great job setting to a rock hard finish, I refitted the
 steering rack using some special flange headed bolts and nuts to
 hopefully eliminate the issue I found before with the holes leaking in
 water, now they are sealed with underseal and a wide head either end
 so I hope this issue will now be a thing of the past,
 Onto the car itself, I realised some time ago that the sub frame
 assembly was sat higher than the body shell

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012097.jpghttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012098.jpg

 so some adjustment would be required to bring them to the same height,
 I did think about chocking the body but thought better of it, so I
 bought 2 pairs of spring clamps and compressed the springs enough to
 bring the sub frame and shell to the exact height,

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012102.jpg

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012103.jpg

  it took a fair bit of arsing about since a couple of turns on the
 spring compressors meant a tweak on the jack which in turn meant a
 couple more turns on the spring compressors and so on but in the end
 (and much to my amazement) I had it located so all 6 bolts just slid
 through the holes with no resistance at all, not bad since they are
 12mm bolts through 12.5mm holes
 then it was just a task of checking I had enough sikaflex (2 tubes)
 and going for it, what followed was about half an hour of up down left
 right inside outside and back again while I fitted all the bolts and
 got plastered in sikaflex, and bearing in mind I was working alone
 trying to torque the bolts was a bit of a mare involving some abuse of
 spanners,
 there were a few casualties, once the dust had settled, namely my arms
 were now black (despite wearing overalls and gloves??) and my head
 also, I also nearly knocked myself out on the front tie rod and got
 sikaflex on the passenger seat, but it was all worth it

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012099.jpghttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012101.jpg

 I used special flange headed nuts and bolts again to spread the load
 better and prevent the washer dishing in,

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012096.jpg

 I think the stainless 10mm thick ones should be ok but still they got
 the flange nuts

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012105.jpg

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012104.jpg

 And the new 6mm thick 12mm steel washer look more convincing now too
 on the engine side

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012107.jpg

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012108.jpg

 To round things off I even fitted the steering column and my home made
 seal

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/17032012109.jpg

 And modified the pedal box as per the most recent build manual to have
 the support bolt up to the scuttle

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/15032012094.jpg

 Overall id say its been a good weekend

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.

  It is illegal and the prob was all tags and id was removed from the

[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: diesel mpg

[John Woodward]

Anything over 60MPg from a diesel is good, my turbo diesel 2+2
averages about 58 MPG, the best I've had was just over 61MPG on a 200
+ mile run, the worst 55 MPG thrashing it on short journeys (all using
GPS for the mileage). Acceleration is not rapid, but will cruise all
day at well over the legal limit. The differential ratio is tall 3.33,
so at 70MPH the revs are quite low.A friend has a non turbo 1.8 Mk2
Saloon  he has never got more than 60 MPG, again GPS checked.

  Hi Ed,

  with SVA the way it is would the newer mark fiesta's, or even a Puma,
  not be better for the future? With the KA only having a 1.3 as
  standard won't single donor status be tricky unless the original
  engine is used, and the rest of the components are a little suspect
  too (brakes, suspension etc) in comparison to the readily available
  Fiesta or Puma donors?
  I for one would especially welcome a move towards a jap based Quantum
  based on the Almera, or maybe a rwd mx5? Just thoughts, probably on my
  own with the jap route and may be too much work to achieve!
  I'd especially love to see a new saloon/coupe, minus sunroof and pop

  Hi all
  Thank you for the kind words that have been expressed here about my
  taking on Quantum. Some of the comments have been quite humbling.
  I have given much thought about taking on Quantum, this decision was
  not taken lightly.
  I must thank John  Rosemary who have been very suportive of my
  taking
  Quantum on.
  I wil now have everything I need to support all of the older models
  from moulds to spares.
  It is important to now progress Quantum, and to that end I have
  decided that the 2+2 model will have an update. It is looking likely
  that it will be re engineered to run on a Ka donar and also have a
  styling update. Don't worry, the styling update will be more
  evolution
  rather than revolution.
  I am planning on a factory open day towards the end of June /
  begining
  of July so that you are able to see the progress.
  I look foward to working as closely as possible with the QOC and
  giving new life to the cars that we love.

[Quantum Owners] Saloon front strut spacer

My Saloon has a spacer which is basically a rubber ring that fits in

 Spare wheel - why not use a tyre sealant instead of carting a wheel around  
 with you.  The type of sealant you should look for is one which does not  
 set within the tyre. In the event of a puncture the sealant 'leaks' and forms
 a  seal.

what they are talking about. Also EBay can be very good, as the XR2 is

[Quantum Owners] Re: odd front wheel and new roof

The KAP hood has the smaller rear window, which does not get creased
as much when the hood is down, I have one  was pleased with the
quality,
Have not checked if my 2+2 wheels stick out as per yours, but my
Saloon does by a far greater amount, as do most Saloons I have checked
at shows (they have no sub frame), I decided not to worry about it.
Rather than skimming the hub or wheel you could just fit a 5mm spacer
to one side.

 hi all
 been busy recently doing odd jobs ill post details later
 2 questions though
 firstly which is the best roof to get?
 the Quantum and KAP hood are the same price but which is best for
 fit / finish and watertightness?
 been saving my pennies so will get one in the next few weeks
 secondly and quite puzzlingly my passenger front wheel sticks out 5mm
 further to the side than the drivers, not really noticeable at first
 but now I've seen it it bugs me
 I've swapped the wheels over side to side and all is the same so its
 not the wheels and nothing looks obviously out of place, taking a
 crude series of measurements i think (hope) the subframe has not moved
 relative to the bulkhead as it measures up straight (though difficult
 to measure accurately)
 taking a crude measurement of the suspension, namely the bottom arms
 from the inner pivot to the brake disc it appears that that may be the
 culprit though i cant be 100% sure as its so tricky to measure
 accurately
 if this is the case my theory is either the wishbone and / or
 balljoint has been replaced on one side with a copy part or second
 hand part that does not measure up well? or maybe bent
 other than that im unsure, are the wishbones meant to be the same
 length both sides? you'd think so but they are different part number
 any one have any other ideas?
 at worst ill maybe skim 5mm off the wheel or hub but would like to get
 to the bottom of this
 any help very much appreciated and will be repaid with jaffa cakes :)

 If it didn't happen before the service and tracking it sounds like something

[Quantum Owners] Re: Wheel size, Q2+2

[John Woodward]

I once tried 195/50/15's on my 2+2 with no problem except it made the
gearing too tall as I have a 3.33 diff.

 Stage one in the engine conversion I'm looking at is sorting out the

 Question: will a 185/55R15 or 195/55R15 fit under the 2+2 arches
 without issue? They're 23 and 23.4 inches diameter respectively... the
 originals are 21.75 inches and the Fiat wheels are 24 inches; near
 enough for practical purposes on the 15 inch wheels, if they'll work.
 I really don't want to get into remodelling the fiberglass. It looks
 like there's room, but if anyone's tried it I'd like confirmation...

[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

[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.

 Access to the seatbelts is through the side of the rear seat bench. It
 may be carpeted over, but there should be a hole into the area.
 Door cards - there is a capping available to cover the body colour
 area, from Quantum I think.
 Unfortunately the soft tops are Quantum ones, available only from
 Quantum.

[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 anApproved
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.

[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.

  Yes the servo is working, although i did wonder if it was at first.
  The pedal does drop slightly when you do the engine start servo test.

  I had the displeasue of having to have it towed for a short distance,

  worse, almost scary.

   I think the test for a servo is to put your foot on the brake pedal and

   If the pedal moves down further then the servo is working.

I thought I'd heard mention of using 1.1 rear suspension, I will give

The main issue I have with the brakes are that it seems to require a
huge ammount of effort to slow/stop the car. They seem much worse than
the 2+2 we used to have. There isn't a huge ammount of pedal travel
but you seem to have to press really hard to get much response. I had
a basic brake test done and they seem to be working well enough and
would lock up on the rollers. I think the pads I used were AP/
lockheed(?), the disks are standard and fairly new with no scores/wear
lip.

I now have the RS2000 brakes and the disks are 260mm compared with the
xr2i 239.5mm. I did consider the Cosworth setup but was concerned that
they wouldn't fit under my 15 wheels.

I was also considering a servo upgrade, are there any options for
this?

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.

 main light/wiper switch off I can see that one of the outlets of the
 switch has got hot and slightly melted the body. This contact is the
 outlet feed to the dip/main beam switch.
 When a new or secondhand unit is fitted all is fine for months and at
 no time is there any hint of anything over heating or smelling.
 Anyone got any ideas as to what maybe causing this to happen?

[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.

 Feedback which may be of interest to fellow owners..
 Not wanting to trust entirely to my own judgement when reversing the new Q 
 saloon, I today fitted a Parking Dynamics PD1 reversing sensor kit - requires 
 no drilling as it uses electromagnetic wave technology.  Only took less 
 than 1hr to fit, and Initial results suggest it is very good - It 'detected' 
 the cardboard test box invisible from the driving seat. The shape of the 
 saloon doesn't help matters (with the spoiler overhang), but that's not a 
 failing of the PD1 product - a bit of fine tuning (putting some of the 
 pick-up strip inside the spoiler and running a wire through the boot lid) 
 will take some extra time but could give improvement. I'm impressed that it 
 senses right through the double-skin and foam of the car rear (I'm hoping 
 some electronics expert in the club can explain how it works?) No connection 
 with the company (other than a satisfied customer)

[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.

 Subject: [Quantum Owners] To Turbo or not

 I have decided, as my daily driver does not have long left to convert
 the coupe to diesel. I have read other information on the group with
 regards to doing this but was wondering if it is better to go turbo or
 non turbo. I am going to go the Endura route as I believe the CVH box
 will go straight on if the engine I get does not have the same box
 originally.

 I read briefly about a slight modification being necessary in the
 engine bay. Could somebody expand on this a little.

 As the car is currently XR2 based I am guessing that I will need a
 live feed from the ignition along with relay for the glowplugs and a
 similar feed for the fuel pump shut off.

 When I do this I also have an electric power steering column to go in
 to make the car a bit easier to park, so hopefully I may even write a
 magazine article.

 Any information gratefully received.

 Most of the kit car parts companies sell them, demon, merlin motorsport etc.
 I think Merlin will cut pipe to length and then roll a bead on each
 length to give you a longer length.
 A local metal fabrication place should be able to weld a side pipe into
 it for not a lot if you have it all ready for them.

 A quick way of joining heater sized hoses is to use 13mm copper water
 pipe with a olive soldered to each end to form a bead.

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

 I'm not being funny about this, especially since fuel economy is now much  
 more of an issue than it was when I started motoring when low 20's fuel  
 consumption was quite common in family cars.

 Detailed records of fuel purchases over a considerable time and distance,  
 or expensive metering systems, would seem to be needed to get reasonably  
 accurate results - at least so far as overall average economy is concerned.
 Test  meters are the only means of comparing consumption in various conditions
 and the  effect of variables like temperature, humidity, wind, load, etc
 etc.

 BTW I hope no one out there thinks that to establish the range of a vehicle
  all you have to do is to top it up and then drive it until the fuel gauge
 shows  half empty - and then double the recorded miles.

[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.

 The below quote was taken from the Vosa.gov 
 website:http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository/MoT%20-%20Issue%2025%20-%2...
 and was confirmed by the last 4 MOT's I've taken the kitcar to. I couple
 have tried to emissions test it, but they've all been more than happy to
 skip it when they look up the requirements in their manuals :)

 

 [Ref Q-plate cars]
 For the purposes of emissions testing only, all these vehicles are
 considered as first used before 1 August 1975, regardless of when they
 were made. Therefore you will only need to carry out a visual test on
 these vehicles. You can find out more in the ‘How to use’ section of the
 introduction to the class 3, 4 and 7 Inspection Manual. How to carry out
 the test is explained in detail on page 5 in section 7.3, sub section A,
 called ‘All vehicles’.

 Is the vehicle a kit car or an amateur-built vehicle?
 Before testing a kit car or amateur-built vehicle, you need to identify
 the date it was first used (unless the vehicle has Q-plates, as
 discussed above). You may also need to see the vehicle’s registration
 document (V5). You should treat a vehicle first used before 1 August
 1998 as if it were a vehicle first used on or before 1 August 1975, and
 carry out a visual test. However, you must treat vehicles first used
 before 1 August 1998 in this way for emissions tests only.

 Vehicles first used on or after 1 August 1998 (S-registration and
 onward) will have had a Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) examination. An
 emissions test will have been carried out and the limits will have been
 set and recorded on the V5. You need to use these limits for the test.

 If the presenter does not produce the V5, or the limits are not recorded
 on it, use the BET and CAT default limits. The only exception to this is
 when the presenter supplies evidence confirming that you can use a lower
 limit, for example because of the age of engine or the emission standard
 applied at SVA.

 You can find out more in section 7.3 of the Inspection Manual (page 9),
 and on page 2 of the 10th edition of the In Servic Exhaust Emissions
 Standards for Road Vehicles book.

 Compression ignition-powered kit cars and amateur-built vehicles must be
 meter-checked using 2.5m-1 limits for non- turbocharged engines and
 3.0m-1 limits for turbocharged engines.

 Hiya folks
 I have the 2+2 (Red Round Headlight) with XR2 1989 engine.
 The Master Brake Cylinder has started to weep 'somewhere', so I need
 to fit a new one.
 I have purchased a new unit off eBay, and it is the Cast Iron version
 - the listing gave a fairly comprehensive list of the Fiesta it will
 fit, and 1989 XR2 was listed (Twice!), so bought it quick before
 anyone else grabbed it.

 I have now looked at the car, and the Haynes/Autodata book, and it
 looks slightly different... The unit on the car looks like the piccie
 9.6 (XR2 early 1986 on) Pressed Steel(?), whereas the purchased unit
 looks something like 9.9 (Levering off the housing)
 Does anyone know if the items are interchangeable?
 Quantum sell a part as below - do I need to buy one of these as well?

[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.

 I eventually changed all the bushs to poly ones and the shocks to
 Sensortrac Monroes (which had come out by then), this made it much much

 This setup was only improved a f3ew years later by changing to Gaz

 Some people would find this setup much too harsh i suspect but it's what
 i like.

  If you drive it everyday then I'd say go for it - you'll soon not notice

  If you break it i'd be interested in the spaceframe.

  complete.

   In terms of timescale I'll leave it open for sale for a while,

   Subject: [Quantum Owners] Selling a 2+2

   I'm toying with breaking or selling the white 2+2 I bought last year.

   I get the feeling it's been built, run, taken off the road and used
 as
   a
   parts bin to keep another on the road as it came to me missing a few
   bits
   and pieces. I've slowly done it up replacing bits here and there.

   It still needs work, but I also have the red turbo 2+2, an XR2 and a
  Mondeo
   to keep on the road, so together with a wallet/time consuming
   photography
   hobby and a full time job I'm not getting the chance to do anything
   with
  it
   and could use the space

   As a whole car it needs finishing (needs carpet and seats fitting,
   indicators need bonding in and mirrors need replacing) and an SVA. I
   honestly cant see me getting around to doing it this year and I
   haven't
  got
   time for it even if completed. All panels and the main shell are
 fine,
   drivers door has dropped a little but still opens and closes, and
   theres
  a
   couple of cracks on the rear bumper but nothing too bad. The bonnet
   catch
   needs replacing and it sits quite high, so probably needs the springs
   replacing. I have all the parts needed, most are new and can include
   them
  if
   necessary.

   There's a 1600 CVH in there that breathes a little heavy but sounds
  decent
   enough. There is also a soft top, but it's not in the best shape
 ever.
   I
   don't think it would be useable so if you don't already have a
  replacement,
   you're going to need a garage to store it.

   If anyone's interested in it you're welcome to it for not much money.
  You'll
   need a trailer as it's not road legal, and it's in Mansfield Notts

   Happy to provide photos or more info to anyone interested, just let
 me
  know.

[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.

  It sounds like it's a familiar scenario to him.
  As a former DVLA manager, he's uniquely placed to be able to help sort

  Cost was about £50, if I recall correctly, which is a small price to pay

  I think the thing with alternate steering racks is that apart from
  getting the column connected up you need a rack:
  1. At the same height as the original (probably not too hard).
  2. With the same length track rods.
  3. With the same distance between the inner ball joints (the ones inside
  the steering rack gaiters).

  The last of these is the tricky one if you are using the rack from
  something else.
   From what i remember the idea is that the inner ball joints should be
  the same distance apart as the inner pivots on the lower suspension (or
  on a line between the lower pivot and the effective upper pivot) so that
  as the suspension goes up and down the rack doesn't change the tracking.
  Failure to get this right gives you bad bump steer.

  Little chance of getting new Quantum to tell you what the rack is i
  suspect (if they know).

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.

 I've run a test lamp from the battery to see if I'm getting power, and it'll

 I'll give the fusebox a bit of a spray with some cleaner I think

 Cant seem to work this one out, maybe someone can tell me if I've missed
 anything obvious

 The dipped beam doesnt work on the drivers side. Main beam does, and both
 dipped and main beam work on the passenger side. The sidelights are
 seperate, and work fine both sides. No spotlights

 First things first, I've changed and checked the bulb. I've also checked and
 changed the fuses (2 x 10A). I've measured that I have current, between 11
 and 14 volts at the fusebox, and at the 3 pin connector. I've unwrapped the
 wiring from the bulb to the bulkhead and cant see any breaks in it. I've
 replaced the stalk switch. I've checked the earths.

 When I put a live wire from the battery to the white wire on the pin, dipped
 beam comes on. It doesnt if the stalk or existing wiring is used.

 Am I bypassing a failed relay on the dim/dip system by going from the
 battery by any chance? And if so, which one? I replaced a small blue one and
 other than a bit of clicking no change, so I swapped it back (35/40A one)
