Subject: [Quantum Owners] Sticky windows

Hello Everyone


I am back with a couple of questions. The first is about slow or sticky 
electric windows. I have an H4 now but it was the same on my 2+2. I am certain 
that this a problem affecting cars all across the Quantum range. Is there some 
spray ( WD 40 ) or some other lubricant to help promote smoother movement? Is 
there some other cure.
My second question is one that comes from looking at the owners club pictures 
of H4`s. There are a number of images that look like they were taken from what 
appeared to be some kind of publicity event showing an example of what was 
described as an H4 S or sport. I have never heard of them.
Do you have any answers?


ALL THE BEST

[Quantum Owners] Fibreglass repair

[chris.quant]

Hi Folks,

My trailer has just had a ‘special moment’ with a low wall and has made a mess 
of its built in fibreglass wheel arch.
(OK, so I didn’t swing out far enough to get round the corner.)

Does anyone know what the shaping foam is called that wizards like Eddie use to 
repair gaping holes in fibreglass?

Thanks Muchly

Chris G

  If you want sheet foam you can use polyisocyanurate(PIR) foam which is used 
as insulation in buildings - the brand I've used is called Celotex, and it's 
about 1/3 of the price of buying foam from GRP suppliers. I think about £8 for 
a 4ft x 8ft 1inch sheet. All you have to do is peel off paper from one side and 
tin foil from the other - it releases a horrible smell when you do this! The 
other option is to us the spray type foam - just squirt some in and it will 
grow (massively!). If you restrict it eg quickly put some parcel tape over it 
before it expands it will end up more dense and probably a better shape for 
your purposes. If the wheel arch on the other side is identical you could take 
a mould off that and pruduce a new arch.
  Alternatively you could bid for my GRP trailer currently on Ebay

Re: [Quantum Owners] Tyres again Question

[chris.quant]

I use Goodyear Vector 4 seasons all year round on my Q saloon 165/60 R14

I do about 12,000 miles a year on them.

They are BRILLIANT on every road condition including snow, and last a long time.

I get them from www.mytyres.co.uk

They sell your 2+2 size but not 13”.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Tyres again Question

Dear All, 

As the forecast says a bad winter, I am thinking again of the best tyres for 
the Q’s. The 2+2 needs two new ones soon.  The reviews seem to give the 2016 
winter and all season tyres very good results over previous years, but the 
sizes they are making them in is not what I am running on the cars at present.  
I suppose there is more interest and development of this area.  e.g. 
Continental WinterContact TS 860 has amazing scores on test.

I run 185/55R14 on the 2+2 and have gone back to 13inch for the coupe as they 
ride better. (and fit the wheel arch without rubbing!)  So 185/60R13’s.  The 
closest in some of the new tyres is 175/60 R14.  One, a Goodyear in 175/70 R13. 
 

Other tyres that are OK but not testing so well are available in the ‘right’ 
size.  So it seems to be choose the same form factor with lesser tyres or 
change form factor and fit better tyres. 

So the question is what have you found the best form factor/size and what range 
is usable for each car?

Thanks

Derek

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Good publicity opportunity for QOC?

I'm sure there are a small number of 'Q's over 200k, which would be noteworthy 
for the magazine, but maybe it could be added to by mentioning the, possibly 
large, number that have more than 100k or 150k on the clocks.

If the information is available, it could be promoted as a percentage of total 
manufacture or of Club membership. I'm sure there's very little else that could 
compete with those numbers.

My 2+2 is currently on 206,829 but it had 37,862 on the Fiesta when I built it, 
so it's really only a paltry 168,967 as a Quantum. Still the same engine, but 
it did get a recon as it's 200k present - and it has spent 10 years competing 
in a sprint championship.

Any of you who get Complete Kit Car may have seen a feature in the latest issue 
 (out last Friday, dated March 2017) "Let the mileage Challenge Begin". 
A reader's Kingfisher Kustoms Kango has done over 200k (albeit with 2 engine 
changes!). I'm sure a Quantum has beaten this figure (Vince Orme's?) - If we 
respond to this (with a photo if possible) it will give our Quantum cars some

Re: [Quantum Owners] Ford-Weber 2V DFTM linkage clips

[chris.quant]

Have you checked the 4 fuel jets are tight?

They can get loose over time and give the same result.

2 of the jets can also come apart (they are in 2 bits) so use a thin 
screwdriver to make the joint tight again.

Also, make sure the 4 carb to manifold nuts are tight.

I 'm wondering if any one can help me source some (one) bush/linkage clip used 
on the Weber 2V DFTM (1.4 CVH) engine. I've been trying to investigate issues 
where the 2+2 starts stuttering/kicking going up hills. A fuel filter change 
and finding the choke linkage disconnected between the manual choke unit and 
butterfly seems to have improved things However I need to source a black 
bush/linkage clip which holds the linkage bar in place. The linkage is between 
the hole in the manual choke unit and the end of the butterfly. Currently I've 
managed to take the one off the butterfly and put it on the choke unit end and 
it holds the butterfly reasonably well,but a clip both ends would be the best 
solution. I've attached a photo of the clip.(sorry out of focus a bit) Any 
other thoughts on stuttering/kicking under load? Thanks Tony

Has anyone had a distributor problem with this engine, and what type did they

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 distributor

Thanks everyone, and specially Chris. I'm familiar with the spring clips and 
had not seen a pair of screws to hold the cap before - so mine with the screws 
must be Lucas. Are they completely interchangeable? There seem to be many types 
available on the usual websites but as soon as I try to specify the exact one I 
can't find one like that. 

Does anyone know if they are all more or less the same and it doesn't matter 
which one you use, so long as it has the same fitting? Does a recon one come 
with an oil seal? Presumably a new one does? I have till the end of next month 
to get this car going, I don't want to go to Stoneleigh in my tin top Suzuki!

Thanks again, Mike

this? From one website I discovered that the correct distributor is a Bosch

Ford part number 84SF 12100 FA. 

  Has anyone had a distributor problem with this engine, and what type did they 
use to replace it? It might be that the two types I've mentioned are 
effectively identical or there might be sufficient difference that while the 
one I can find will physically fit it won't work properly or even at all! 
Advice please so I can get going again!

I’ve just read and interesting bit on the DVLA web site.

Any vehicle registered more than 40 years ago (This rolls forward on 1st April 
every year), will be tax exempt and can have a black number plate.

Soowho will be the first to have a tax exempt Quantum?

As Martin has said, if you have a Mk1 tank or a early non XR2 tank you can 
replace it with the later bigger Mk2 tank.
But, you will need to get the matching sender and rework the fuel pipes around 
the tank.
I'm not certain the fuel filler pipe where it goes into the tank is the same 
size either.

The Mk2 Fiesta had two different sizes of fuel tank that could have been

fitted with the larger 8.8 gallon tank, prior to that they all (except the XR2)

your car has the smaller tank fitted? and if so if you can get an 8.8 gallon

I love Quantums and really enjoy looking at the cars on our stand as well as

of cars and a practically empty club tent.
I want to see a vibrant, energetic stand full of owners, so do I take the

The six wheel F1 car was a TYRRELL P 34 , 1976 vintage. They had some

The six wheeled kit car was a STARCRAFT campervan based on Cortina with an

I’m thinking of building a Burton from an A reg ( 1983 ) Citroen 2cv 602cc

This will be tax exempt in 2023. Until then it will be £ 135 a year tax.

Hi All 
The six wheel F1 car was a TYRRELL P 34 , 1976 vintage. They had some 
success driven by Jody Schecter & Patrick Depailler. The car had four smaller 
front wheels to help cut drag.
The six wheeled kit car was a STARCRAFT campervan based on Cortina with an 
additional chassis. I considered buying one once as it was tax exempt, but it 
was too ugly!
I'm still looking for a tax exempt car.
Must go now, i have to sort out my anorak!

Re: [Quantum Owners] Gear Change

[chris.quant]

The whirring noise will be coming from a bearing at the wheel end of the 
gearbox, it’s quite common on high milers. Mine does the same, you get used to 
it.

As for the problem selecting gears, it sounds like the gearstick linkage 
wearing out. There used to be a repair kit available for the Escort that could 
be adapted for Fiesta. Have a look on ebay...

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Gear Change

Hi,

After 5/6 years off the road I have now got my 2+2 MOT'd but am working my way 
though a number of teething problems as they come up.

The one that is causing some concern is in respect of the gear change. It 
hasn't been good since I got the car back on the road but I went out in the car 
yesterday and as I drove it became more and more difficult to select a gear. At 
one point I was on the front row at traffic lights and was unable to select any 
of the 6 gears that should have been available! That was exciting/embarrassing. 
Eventually I managed to 'forcefully' select a gear and get moving but every 
gear change after that was a bit hit and miss. Several times I had to pull in 
and let traffic past as I tried to find a gear. 

I finally plucked up courage to go in the garage this morning and investigate - 
and I was able to select all the gears without any problems albeit the engine 
wasn't running. 

With the engine running and getting up to temperature it seemed to get more 
difficult to select a gear although I didn't road test it because of the 
problems previously experienced.

As part of the recomissioning I put a new clutch in but I have now noticed a 
'whirring' which stops when I press the clutch pedal in. I am thinking that the 
clutch is dragging which I understand would cause selection problems.

Should I have reset the segment and pawl at the top of the clutch pedal when I 
put the new clutch in?   

Would resetting solve the noise and selection problem? From what I can see, or 
not see, this will probably require the removal of the dashboard?

Any thoughts/opinions/advice will be gratefully received.

Regards

Phil Holden

Re: [Quantum Owners] Electric Window Goes Down But Not Up

[chris.quant]

If you can lift the glass by hand (from below) then it's the plastic clip on 
the runner/regulator that has given up. The only solution is fit a new 
runner/regulator.
If you can't move the glass by hand then it's either a knackered runner 
motor (see fix above) or an electrical problem.

Hello All,

Been reading this quite closely as I have a not to dissimilar problem. My 
clutch bite point is quite low, I can select gears ok but setting off in 1st 
can be jerky. I have a 'modified' (as per QSC build manual) pedal box. Clutch, 
adjuster and, I've been told by previous owner, cable are new. My 1st thought 
for my issue was down to the modification not quite been right and I 'tweaked' 
this to no avail. I got hold of an unmodified pedal box and fitted this to find 
that I couldn't select any gear. The adjuster seems to operate ok, but not sure 
what else to try. I tried the above of putting a 'spacer' in, but no change.

Anybody any ideas as to what would cause either a low bite point or the fact 
that I can't select gears?

Thanks
Mark

  Gents,


  Firstly, thank you for all your responses/information and advice.


  Initially I decided to go with the 'easy' fix first as per Jims e-mail.


  Before my long suffering assistant, a.k.a. the wife, arrived in the garage I 
tried to lift the clutch pedal but it wouldn't move above its rest position. 
However under the bonnet I could freely pull the cable inner out for a good few 
inches.


  With my assistant in place we then tried various methods of pressing/lifting 
the pedal and pulling the cable but none of them resulted in a clicking noise 
with the pawl re-setting when the pedal was pressed. 


  In view of this I decided to assume that the problem lay with the 
cable/pawl/pedal and that the cable needed to be shortened in some way.


  For all those with a sensitive/engineering background please skip the next 
paragraph.


  With the cable free I slipped a washer over the cable nipple and then found a 
short length (1.25 inches) of narrow bore hose. I split this down its length 
and was then able to push that over the cable between the nipple and the 
washer. This was then fastened in place with jubilee clips. Theoretically the 
nipple wouldn't pull through the hose and the washer would stop the hose going 
through the hole in the lever. A quick press of the clutch pedal revealed that 
it worked. 


  I then started the engine and the gear change was fine and it was still fine 
after letting the engine warm through. 


  Arming myself with my AA card and a mobile phone I took to the open road and 
after a journey of 30-35 miles the gear change was still fine. It may have been 
imagination and it may have got a bit notchy towards the end. It may be that a 
much longer run reveals that it is notchy and I may need a longer bit of hose 
to shorten the cable a bit more. In the meantime I am going to enjoy the car in 
our unexpectedly good weather 'up north'. 


  I do have plans to remove the dash and re-spray it once the nights start 
drawing in so when I have it all apart I will investigate the segment/pawl 
issue further at that time - unless it stops working in the meantime.

  I do recall that when I was building the car Quantum did send me an 
alternative segment which overcame the problem of there not being enough 
movement in the pedal but I haven't been able to find the paperwork on that 
yet. 

  Once again thanks for all your assistance.

  Regards

  Phil

  >With the linkage in good condition it's essential to clamp it so that the 
operation of the gear-lever assembly is "in sync" with that of the gearbox.

  That's really only true on the Mk1 and early Mk2 Fiesta gearboxes.
  These had the "gate" for the gearchange in the bottom of the gearlever and 
there was nothing in the gearbox to stop you trying to move the gearchange into 
incorrect positions.
  So alignment of the gearlever to the gearbox was critical.

  The later Mk2 gearboxes had the "gate" in the gearbox, you can move the 
gearlever anywhere if it's not connected to the gearbox .
  This setup is much more tolerant of misalignment.

  Now, if you mix the early gearbox with the late gearchange (no gate at all) 
or a late gearbox with an early gearchange (gates in both) then you will do 
really well to get it to work.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

[chris.quant]

There are two types of MK2 matrix, straight pipes and angled pipes. 
Unfortunately you won't know what you've got until you take it out. As an 
alternative/short term fix you can disconnect the two hoses that got into it 
(from the engine bay) and connect them together using a short length of 15mm 
copper pipe.

It's not like you need the heater in this weather!

DON'T be tempted to get a MK3 matrix, hoping it will fit as it looks the 
same in a pic, 'cos it's bigger so doesn't fit.

Picture 3 shows the pipes at the right and a clip just to the left of them.
That whole heater unit is a good price, but you only need the matrix,
which is essentially a small radiator. I would expect the matrix in that
one might be old, so worth getting a new one too.

The matrix is similar to this Mk1 Fiesta one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162542468780

You can get the matrix out without removing the entire heater unit, as per
your eBay find as this sits at the bottom, and can probably be accessed
easily by removing your centre console. The pipes in the engine bay can be
awkward yo get at.

One of those details is the wiring which is broadly good but in need of some 
TLC, plus I want to make some additions. It's no surprise that this vehicle has 
been altered somewhat. I've not really investigated in any detail yet, just 
looked at it! (I'm not planning on doing anything until I've done my homework). 
 I have ordered the relevant Haynes manual (limited use, but a starting point), 
but would greatly appreciate any information that anyone can offer as to what 
changes were made and how they were implemented.  For example there are two 15A 
fuses that have been added close the battery which seem to have no obvious use, 
but which may be related to the audio system that was fitted and removed. There 
is also a pair of running lights which do not work. At this stage I have no 
idea how they are (were) powered. 

That might be a pointless quest, time and tide will have eroded that knowledge 
base. But if anyone knows anything, I'd appreciate it, it could potentially 
save me a lot of time tracing cables.

On the same topic, it occurs to me that it would be useful to have access to a 
build manual. If I'm tracing cables, what runs where? Apologies if that is on 
the site (I've only just thought about it), but assistance, or a pointer to 
where I might find one would be useful.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Smelly question

Check the join in the exhaust as it's quite near the gearstick hole. Any 
smells from the engine will come through that aswell.

When I come home from a lovely drive in the 2+2, my spouse reminds me of the 
fact that I smell like 'old car'.
The problem seems to be the exhaust fumes returning in the cabin, because 
the smell is also present in the boot.

(I know the bootseal is damaged)
Does anyone experience the same ?
What have you done, or what can I do about it?
Any ideas welcome, (except from Antony, who made his 2+2 electric!)

Re: [Quantum Owners] Strange going's on with my headlight covers

[chris.quant]

If the noise is still there when the flap motor is unplugged then I can’t see 
how they would be related. Try connecting a power source to the flap motor 
direct to see if it works at all. On my saloon the flap motor is triggered from 
the lighting circuit. When I had a earth short in one of the rear light 
clusters it blew the fuse and the flaps closed, refusing to open again. I 
‘fixed it’ by unplugging the flap motor and reversing the plug to trick the 
flaps open. It got me home.

  Hi again Mike

  Plans updated (again). Now will be at Stoneleigh on Sunday only and will be 
able to bring the seats in our 2+2

  Various options to get them in the car...

  - if the boot is empty they will both fit in boot. Lid will not close by 
about 2 inches so needs to be tied down
  - put one in boot, bring passenger seat all the way forward and second one 
will fit behind passenger seat
  - take out passenger seat (bring the runners!) so one can be installed as 
passenger seat (other can go either in boot or behind passenger seat as 
mentioned above)

  Please could you confirm your intention to attend Stoneleigh on Sunday and 
you ability to take the seats (as per options above)

  regards

Hi Sonia 

Sorry to hear you may not make it. Hopefully you can get the car ready in 
time.

As to the seats no rush as not needed at the present time. Was just putting 
them aside for possible future use. Not sure where you are but we do visit my 
wife's sister in Bromley a couple of times in the year so if you still have 
them when I am next down could possibly pick them up then. In the meantime if 
someone else wants them feel free to sell them on.

may not be coming to Stoneleigh at all, but will make a decision on that later

Re: [Quantum Owners] Ford Central locking motor identification

I had a similar problem a few years ago. I changed the actuator on the door

Yes any information appreciated. When I unlock the o/s it unlocks the n/s 
door, but when I lock the o/s door it doesn't lock the n/s door. N/S side 
lock works correctly.


I was thinking this is likely to be a faulty contact in the o/s actuator, 
but could equally be a wiring fault.

It doesn't look like you have, and it's in the usual format of Ford FINIS.
Looking at the diagram which came up with the title "Central 
Locking/Tailgate Release FORD Escort/Orion 1986-1990" I think it includes 
the central door locking AND tailgate release. As you say there are 5 wires 
on the front door actuators. I think I used escort releases, but for some 
reason (probably because I got them from the scrappy) I didn't include them 
in my extensive parts list. I think I have a note of the wire functions for 
the actuators in my 'wiring book' if it's any use to you I can dig out the 
info.

Thanks for the rapid response Martin. The Item I'm trying to replace has 5
wires which I assumed would be a front door actuator with switch wires as
well as wires to operate the motor. Generally tailgate actuators are slaves
and only have 3 wires to operate the motor.

Is it possible I have misread the code?

I need to replace the electric window regulators on my 2+2. The O/S cable has 
broken and the N/S isn’t far behind. I received an aftermarket replacement 
today which cannot be shortened in the same way as the ford one and the motor 
appear to have shorter cables so it fowls with the lower mounting for the 
quarter light channel. This item is for a 4 door Fiesta Mk3 and Courier van. 

 

I know Quantum supplied Fiesta MK3 items, but does anyone know if they were for 
3 or 5 door models?

 

Also has anyone successfully fitted window regulators from another model as Mk3 
Fiesta ones are hard to find now? Perhaps Mk4 Fiesta or Mk1 KA?

I found these guys.

http://springsteelstock.co.uk/stainless-spring-steel/

My research says it can be bent cold as long as you make the bend quickly, then 
it will keep its new shape and be springy.
A slow bend will result in hardening of the bend and a right bugger to finish 
it.

Hi Chris,
Interesting, i need some of those as well.
Looks like 301 is available in different tempers, will you be able to bend it 
if it’s already tempered ?
You may need to anneal it, bend it and then re-temper it.
Which could be useful as you may be able to leave the base of the spring where 
it is riveted to the hinge un-tempered to avoid it cracking around the rivets 
or bolts.

Did you find a good supplier of 301 stainless ?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Alloy wheels

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

MK2 XR2 original wheels have 185/60/13 tyres.

185 is the tyre width in mm
60   is the side wall height in mm
13   is the wheel size in inches

I changed to

165/60/14MK3 Fiesta steel wheels

This means the speedo will over-read by 1 mph.
Its the closest I could get at the time.

I currently have a MK4 Fiesta (parts bin) which is 185/55/14

When these go onto the Q it should under-read by 1 mph, therefore taking me 
back to MK2 XR2 again.

Oh to have a tyre with knobbles on and not a nail!  A good suggestion Steve, 
will investigate.  Was considering using it as a planter for my petunias. 

I noted that the pepperpot is a 6J rim and it has a 185/60 R13 tyre on, the 
current fitted road wheels are 6J's with 165/70 R13 tyres. I am assuming that 
there is an extra 2cm on the diameter of the wheels from what the xr2 had, so 
does that mean my speedo is under-reading? Must check it next time I go through 
one of those "check your speed" signs.

Another dumb question is since both types of rim are 6J and the tyres have 
different tread widths, when the time comes to change all the tyres I could go 
for 185s? 

Rob, I was looking at 14" rims with 185/55 R14 tyres, the thinking being that 
the diameter should be correct and not a drastic effect on the ride.  I hear 
that going for a lower profile tyre can make the ride harsher.  Just thinking 
of my back!

Thanks all.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Headlining

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

I recently lost patience with it and dug out my old knackered angle grinder 
with a flap sanding disc on it.
The result was me rushing out to buy a new angle grinder 

I then got the main roof section all cleaned up in about an hour. That’s an 
hour lying on my back with my neck on the edge of the parcel shelf..holding 
3.5 kg of angle grinder above my head.

I hurt today.

My car had the factory fitted grey headliner on it, so no separate backing.

The original builder used the Fiesta sound deadening on the floor, stuck down 
with something very sticky and jig-sawed together with carpet tape.

Most of it came off with a scraper but I’ll still have to go over it with the 
sanding disc.

When i had the headlining replaced in my Saloon they left the foam that was

That was 10 years ago and it’s not shown any signs of coming off.  Though the

I’ve only recently finished removing the original owners idea of soundproofing, 
he had used multiple layers of old carpet stuck down with the strongest glue

It must have taken me at least a week of work spread across the 10 years to get 
it all removed with cheisels and scrappers.

You may find that a hot air gun will soften the glue and make things easier but 
not too hot, you don’t want to damage the fibreglass.

It did run alot smoother over a cheap paper filter.

I’m currently running a Ford Fusion (boring-as-hell type of car) and have

If you have a well- maintained standard filter that's probably the best you can 
get in terms of filtration/intake noise otherwise Ford would fit something

[Quantum Owners] Rear demist

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

Has anyone come up with a viable alternative to the useless (and always dying) 
demisting lines on the saloon rear window?
I’m thinking either a demist kit (or 2) from ‘car builders solutions’ or some 
kind of ducting from the front heater box, with an in-pipe fan on a 
timer..that’s as far as I’ve got in the planning/trying-to-work-it-out 
stage.

New rear screen Chris. 
The other option as per lord Q is a couple of fake speaker holes with grills or 
you could use the demister grills that aim the warm air onto the screen mounted 
on the rear parcel shelf so air flow goes into the boot.
Air can then flow through the boot lid via vents and exit via holes in the 
lower part of the boot lid as per Lord Q. 
Happy  Quantuming

It's agreed then we need a heat source maybe with an additional fan. Thinking

Near our previous house there was a pet shop that had hamsters running loose 
eating the food packets during the night - the owner was puzzled how they also 
got water, until one of the customers was passing one evening and saw a line of 
hamsters licking the condensation off the window! So a team of loose hamsters 
on the back shelf may be the answer without using and valuable battery power ;-)

Did you reset the ratchet on the quadrant after you fitted the new clutch ?
Lift the pedal up against it's stop with a bit of wood or a second person (this 
releases the ratchet) and then pull the clutch cable inner out as far as it 
will go in the engine bay.
Release the pedal and then press it a few times, you should hear the ratchet 
reset.

You can't mix low lift and normal lift clutch parts but since you replaced as a 
set it should be ok.

I remember an issue with clutch ratchet not working correctly if you had too 
much carpet behind the pedal which meant it couldn't be pressed down far enough 
for the ratchet to be triggered.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Wiring surprises....

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

Hi Jim,

Well, they both looked dodgy to me...

All the big fat earth wires are running alongside the main loom, taped to it 
outside of the loom tape. There are currently 3 fat earths going back to the 
battery, plus the huge gearbox one.

The fusible link wire was completely outside of the red sleeving which ended at 
the end of the red wire. Would an inline fuse be a suitable replacement and at 
what rating?

Hi Chris,
Both of those are actually original Ford.

The earth wires are bundled together and then spot (well, bar) welded together, 
you can see the lines across the conductors where they were squashed between 
the electrodes.

The thinner black wire on the main battery wire is a fusible link, it's special 
wire that is designed to blow before the main wire does if there is any shorts 
on an unfused circuit.  
It should have been inside red sleeving to stop any molten metal escaping if it 
does melt.
It would have been originally crimped to the red wire with a brass crimp so 
that one has been replaced or the cable shortened but it does look correct 
otherwise.

there somewhere, that would explain the intermittent connection then...

  The extension to the main Live wire from the battery to the fuse box, which 
is HALF the diameter.

  And of course not forgetting the length of household 3 core flex running from 
the loom to the dizzy !

  The bloke who built the car (25 years ago) said instead of extending the rear 
loom with red wire (as per the build book), he got hold of another Fiesta rear 
loom and spliced that in instead. Imagine my surprise when I unwrapped that bit 
to be greeted by a sea of red wires.

[Quantum Owners] What's this??

Does anyone know what the heck this is and what it does??

The Haynes book of lies says it’s a ‘Filter Suppressor’..

It plugs into one thin green wire that goes down to the dizzy plug and another 
thin green wire that goes to the rev counter in the dash pod.

Most of the writing has rubbed off so I can’t even make out the part number!

the rev counter wire and causing interference on the radio.

  The Haynes book of lies says it’s a ‘Filter Suppressor’..

  It plugs into one thin green wire that goes down to the dizzy plug and 
another thin green wire that goes to the rev counter in the dash pod.

  Most of the writing has rubbed off so I can’t even make out the part number!

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

I think you need the Girling version.

TRW do one here https://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/catalogue/product/PMH329/

I paid around £ 350 for mine 6 years ago, but I believe others have since found 
them cheaper.

If you try to fit the long version then you will also need to change the servo 
(black donut disc thing behind it) as the connections are different.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

Hi

Looking for advice on brake master cylinder on our 2+2 based on 1989 Mk2 XR2. 
Fluid is leaking badly from master cylinder so almost no brake pedal! Got it to 
local garage (who I have used for nearly 20 years and trust) who are having 
trouble locating a replacement part. Issue is Ford (bless 'em) changed the 
master cylinder from 1986 when a 'rising servo' and shorter master cylinder was 
fitted. Prior to that it was a longer cast item. The earlier ones are readily 
available but with the rising servo (it points more upwards) there isn't room 
for the longer master cylinder. The only later cylinders we have found are on 
ebay and £350!!

Refurbishment kits are available for about £15 which may fix our existing 
cylinder but it is not clear whether there are separate kits for the early and 
later cylinders

So, does anyone

a) know of a source of the later master brake cylinders at a more sensible price
b) know if there is more than 1 refurbishment kit and how to tell which is which
c) know of another master cylinder which would fit with minimal additional 
effort

Many thanks

Sonia & Pete

someone called Barry. If Barry has my email via the group that's not a problem, 
but the message had no script, just attachment so looked suspicious  I deleted 
it. If Barry wants to pick my brains then no problem, can he send another note!
To Jim, Steve or other techi people... Is it possible (or even likely) that

As thermostats are very basic engineering I wonder what the failure is? 
Possibly just poor quality material in the manufacture?  I did boil up the 
old one in a pan in the classic way and checked its movement.  It did move

I bought some track control arms for the Rickman (Escort mk2 parts) One 
lasted about 2k miles until the rubber bush was kaput (I replaced that

a further 1.5k miles, so just 35k total miles! In contrast the other side 
(which I 'bought' attached to the car) had play (but a lot less) and had 
done over 40 miles in my ownership, so maybe many more. I replaced with 
'First Line' parts, which were the only ones available to me - we'll see 
how they last. The guy at my MOTstation said it's not uncommon for new

Dear All,

Just replaced my engine coolant thermostat on the 2+2 and noticed the 
previous one was only in the car for 16,000 miles. (but 6 years)  It just 
opened at a cooler and cooler temperature until I felt I needed to change 
it. Of course the new one is fine and helps the car warm up much quicker. 
From my previous experience thermostats seem to be a short lived item in 
the Ford CVH engines compared to others.  This was a Q&H one (QTH105K) 
and replaced with another I already had on the shelf.  I had thought they 
were an OK brand.  On Amazon someone is selling a ‘Ford’ item.  If it is 
genuine Ford, is it your experience they last longer?


On the other hand if you need to replace the thermostat frequently it 
does push you to renew the coolant!

Hiya folks 

Q2-002 is in disgrace at the moment...  As well as a burst heater hose (to be 
fixed when it is dry!), she is having charging issues if anyone can offer any 
advise please?
The charge light is on very dimly most of the time at all rev speeds, when 
running with no load the voltage is 13.9-14.1V, when the headlights are on it 
drops to 13.2V or so.  If I put everything on (heater fan / fog lights / brake 
lights etc), then the volts drop to 12.5V or so. 
If I charge the battery over a weekend, and leave over a couple of days (it is 
my daily drive so can't leave longer!), then the battery holds the charge, and 
does not seem to significantly drop.
When on tickover at 800rpm on the rev counter, the volts drop down to 12.7V or 
so, but go up when revved very slightly.
Finally 2nd strange thing, when I 1st start the car, I have to rev up to 
2000rpm to get the red light to turn off / go dim.

I have had a new battery and a recon alternator with the original pulley wheel 
last year.
These were changed as I the battery was going flat, and thought these were the 
issue, but the original setup did not have the dim ignition light issue..

Can anyone advise if it is a duff battery, or duff alternator, and is there an 
easy way to check?  Or any other suggestions please?  Is it worth taking a wire 
directly from the alternator to the battery?

Hi Martin

I agree that such a conversion isn't within the capabilities of many owners 
but, to not discourage those who are competent to undertake such a conversion, 
I must say that it is not true that there is no benefit. 


Benefits include:

Reliability - self-adjusting mechanism and handbrake actuator is in a "nice" 
environment (bathed in brake fluid) and will typically work for many, many 
years without attention. The similar calipers on the Honda in my sig just had 
their first rebuild at just on 12 yrs old!

Condition of main components is visible without dismantling
Maintenance, when eventually it is needed is much easier - try removing a set 
of shoes, never mind replacing them. in the few minutes it takes to swap pads...

And this might seem trivial but bleeding the rears is so much easier with a 
large, accessible nipple than a small, rusted-in one behind the backplate

Oh - and the reduced unsprung weight is not to be sniffed at...

  Many people are not aware that drum brakes have a built-in servo-assistance 
characteristic so are more powerful, all other things being equal, than disc 
brakes. in my case correct balance was easily achieved with careful choice of 
pad material and the pressure reduction to the rear deleted. Handbrake 
effectiveness is a matter of ensuring that the combination of gearing inside 
the caliper and lever arm lengths (handbrake and caliper) applies correct force 
on the pads for the given disc and wheel diameters.

KYB;
Front springs - RA 1370 is 1.6 XR2 at 290mm long
  - RA 1196 is 1.1 to 1.4 at 308mm long

Dampers are the same across the range.

Rear springs – NOT XR2

It would be great to see you and your car at Stoneleigh.  The club will
have a stand as usual and it is open to all Quantum Owners.

There will be club members camping on the stand, so you would be most
welcome to join us.  While the quiz hasn't been written yet, it will be
ready for the Sunday evening, so time to swat up on Britney Spears!

Due to the HS2 line running though the show ground where our stand used
to be we have a new location, but it should be easy to find as you'll
enter the show ground by the main kit car entrance and drive straight to
the main halls, finding the QOC stand on the right once you get to the
halls.  See

Also my quantum isn’t really in showroom quality at the mo, is there

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 - XR2 CVH engine, no idle

I had the same problem once. A new set of fuel hoses fixed it. The old ones had 
corroded on the outside and were letting air in.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 - XR2 CVH engine, no idle

Thought I'd post this for future reference in case anyone else has the same 
problem. A bit of fault diagnoses is always useful.

Driving to a model aircraft show at the weekend, my 2+2 started cutting out 
every time the engine came back to idle. A bit difficult to drive like that but 
I got to show, managed to avoid buying any more toys, and got home again. I did 
notice it idled when the choke was on until I touched the throttle.

Started playing with it today. First confirmed the fault. No idle unless choke 
was on and lumpy below 1500 revs.
The anti run-on valve was clicking, so that was okay and, over 1500-2000 revs, 
everything was fine so timing and ignition should be okay (although a weak 
spark may give similar problems).
For those that don't know, the anti run-on valve (sometimes called the 
anti-dieseling valve) shuts off the idle fuel when you turn off the ignition, 
to stop the engine running-on or dieseling.

To my mind that really just leaves a lack of fuel in the idle line, possibly a 
blockage. (the Weber carb makes this idle fuel thing a bit complicated, give me 
a SU carb anyday)
By now the I had the auto choke cover off and could set the choke at any engine 
temperature, which allowed me to start the engine and get to the carb without 
it stopping.
So, got the engine started, climbed out, got to the other end of the throttle 
cable and used that to knock the choke off and keep the engine running. With 
the other hand I started spraying WD40 into the carb and then let the throttle 
drop to idle, and idle it did, running nicely on WD40.
Hopefully this has confirmed a fuel blockage at idle, and after using an Air 
Duster and some Carb Cleaner to no avail, the carb is now sitting on my bench 
awaiting a service kit so I can strip and clean it.

Of course, it could be something completely different, so if anyone has any 
other ideas, please let me know.
When it's fixed, I'll let you know what the real problem was!

I wonder if some of the 2.0 mounting brackets are still on the engine and

And if the Alternator and power steering pump (if fitted) have been moved

Have you got any pictures of this area on your car ?

  I've been looking into replacing the old hoses on the H4. It turns out 
that this combination which is a 2l Zetec in what was originally a 1.6 Zetec 
installation, is too niche/weird to have a hose kit available. The problem is 
the complex bottom hose to the radiator which is not available anywhere. So 
this is going to have to be made specially which means a mould will be made for 
it

  Hence if anyone is looking for such an item, I should soon be able to put 
you on to a source able to do just that hose or indeed a full kit.

  Hi Guys
  Have just foind a problem with headlights not working. So am hoping for a 
quick few pointers before I get onto the detail of wiring diagrams etc.  

  Here are the symptoms:
  Dipped and main beam headlights do not work.
  Sidelights work and the flaps do open.
  Headlights will flash normally using indicator stalk.
  In checking all systems found that hazards don't work and when hazards 
switched on indicators don't work, realise that may be logical.

  All fuses checked and ok.

  Without consulting wiring diagrams etc I would assume either the headlights 
are not receiving power from an ignition live (but this would mean hazards are 
a separate issue) or an earth problem. The latter being a guess as may be 
linked to all the bad weather we've been having.

  I've initially discounted a relay as couldn't see how this could explain dip 
and mains not working.

  I can go through trouble shooting routines, but the reason for the early post 
is son gets married on Saturday and is using the car, so am short on time and 
looking for a quick steer. My starting point will be earth near battery and 
headlight switch.

  Thanks

Re: [Quantum Owners] RIP H4

Get someone who knows the car to look at it, not just a grease monkey.

I bet Rob would collect it from you

If it is repairable, but the insurance want to write it off (’cos they are a 
tight bunch), then buy it off them for “spares” and get Rob to fix it.

Once repaired it would only need an engineers report to get it back on the road.

In the Q manual the nose cone wiring has two diodes.  The values required

I appreciate it is in a 12V system so 15 or 16 volt would cover, but does 
anyone know the minimum wattage?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Electrics Failure

On the saloon there is a mass (lots of wires) earth connection on the A pillar

Also check the earth wires at the battery.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Electrics Failure

Hi,

I have a 2+2 and on Monday after driving for 50-60 miles I noticed that the 
indicators had suddenly stopped working. 

I had actually just joined the A1(M) so over the next few miles a check 
revealed that the only thing still working was the engine. No indicators, 
radio, heater fan, electric windows, fuel gauge - the list goes on. I left the 
A1(M) and pulled into a layby.  

I pulled the bonnet release, got out of the car, went to the nearside to open 
the bonnet and my wife then said that the radio had started working. 
(Unfortunately I didn't have time to check the lights)

A further check revealed that everything else was back on line.


I did wonder whether the action of opening the door or using the boot release 
may have re-disturbed the wiring to make everything work again but when I got 
home and tried to move the wiring, where possible, everything kept on working.

I am now assuming that with everything failing that this is not a relay/fuse 
issue and it is a (major) intermittent earthing fault.  

However before starting a major hunt which will probably involve removing the 
dashboard I was looking for any suggestions, recommendations, advice as to 
whether my diagnosis is correct or whether it could be some simple fix! 

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Thanks

Phil Holden

Re: [Quantum Owners] Nose Cone Wiring

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

Diodes are for working the headlight flaps in the 2+2 and saloon, so that 
the flaps open when you flash the lights.


You don't need them if you only want the spot lights to flash (the 
headlights will still flash but the flaps won't open).


Flaps will be open when lights are on full beam as they are powered from 
side lights.


I think 2+2 has a slightly different set up as side lights are next to 
indicators. Jim has done a wiring diagram somewhere.

When you turn the fan by hand, does it go around in fits and starts? Mine 
did so I fitted a new one from car builders solutions. Sooo much better.

Update, the engine is running at a controlled temp now, not changed the 
stat... Yet.

The fan is working now which wasn't before.
Would I be right in thinking the fan is compensating for the stat as it 
seems to be on once the engine is hot?

My radiator will need replacing soon, you'll see in my previous photo...
Cheers

I have always been unhappy with the rear of my saloon, get the pose right and 
you can't have anyone on the rear seats, and visa versa. 
So I have recently been looking at air bag options. 
My idea is to have the bags down when standing and pump up as required for 
extra support or clearance on the go.

  I will probably get a chance to look at the rear suspension coming week. Will

  Anyone know what the free lengths and ratings are of these standard Ford

standard springs.

What rear springs do folks recommend?

My rear ride height seems too high - much bigger gap between the arch and 
tyre at rear than the front. I have noticed same on pictures of other saloons. 
Wondering if this is a design feature or wrong length springs have been fitted 
at some point.

The build manual recommends soft 1100 springs. Mine was built using a mk2 
XR2 donor (shorter stiffer springs?) but these may well have been changed since 
original build.

The car handles ok but to me the stance does not "look right" as is.

one fits the petrol engine?  If so is it worth the larger one?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Fiesta front indicators intermittent

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

MK3 fiesta bulb holders also fit but you have to be creative wiring them on as 
you can’t get hold of the ‘plug’ that goes into it.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Fiesta front indicators intermittent

Hi, I have again encountered issues with the front indicators being 
intermittent or failing just before the MOT is due.

I have identified the issue is down to the bulb mount which is a plastic plug 
and twist fixing but these parts seem to be very rare particularly in good 
condition.

The indicator lenses seem to be easy to obtain but more often than not do not 
have the bulb mount included.

I have found that the problem is actually down to corrosion of contacts within 
the moulding.

I have successfully “fixed” three bulb holders now by using a Dremel with a 
cutting disk to remove 

A small piece of the plastic where the plastic is adjacent to the internal 
contact.

The contact is actually made by the feed wire being pushed in from the rear and 
sliding against the metal strip that goes up the bulb location. The Wire has an 
end on it preventing the wire being pulled out from the rear.

Having cut away the plastic, the wire can be removed and a new wire soldered 
onto the cleaned metal strip.

 

I have also found a part that could be used to get out of trouble but it is not 
a perfect replacement fit on Ebay.

Replacement Bulb Holder Connector PY21W Indicator Turn Sigal Light BAU15S 581

( 332007381360 )

This part is slightly smaller in diameter and has 4 location tags rather that 
the Fiesta 3. By cutting one of the tags off  a reasonable fixing can be made.

 

Hope that may help

 

Ken

I hope everyone is staying safe and well during these difficult times.

As I am currently isolating too far away from my cars I have extra time on
my hands at weekends. Therefore I took the opportunity over the bank
holiday to upgrade the operating system that the club website is hosted
from. This allowed me to upgrade the website security to support the latest
encryption algorithms.

This should not cause any issues if you keep your systems updated, but
please take a look at https://www.quantumowners.club and let me know if you
have any issues accessing it.

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 rear shocks and springs

Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 rear shocks and springs

After 23 years it is probably time to change the rear springs and shock 
absorbers on our 2+2, plus they came up as advisories on the last MOT. Just 
want to check we are looking at the right parts before we order


Rear springs
We have seen on previous forum posts that 1.1 Fiesta springs should be used 
which would make them KYB  RA5045 Diam 10 mm Length 307 mm, or 
presumably equivalents? We have found cross references to FORD - OE-6132823, 
LESJÖFORS - OE-24047020, and MONROE: SP0686. We can buy a pair of the LESJÖFORS 
from onlinecarparts.co.uk for around £47 delivered

Rear shock absorbers
Research on the online KYB catalogue seems to show it is the same shock 
absorber for all engine sizes of both Mk1 and Mk2 Fiestas, ie KYB 332004 which 
are available on eBay for around £70 per pair delivered

So, the questions are
- are the above the correct parts for our 2+2?
- are the prices above competitive?
- are there equivalents to the KYB 332004 shock absorbers which are more cost 
effective? (Don't want/need anything fancy or adjustable. Have been happy with 
ride for over 100,000 miles with what we already have and would probably never 
get around to doing any adjustments anyway!)

We would welcome input from anyone with more knowledge than us (which is 
probably most of you)

Thanks

Sonia & Pete

Hello, 

As an owner of a H4,  ch no. 6, I thought it necessary to join and duly paid my

Since then I have been completely underwhelmed by the complete and total lack

So, I do question what it does the membership get me? I did get a single email

not had anything about any activities or newsletters, it was promised to get 
back to me, but I guess I’m just unlucky as again, nothing.
