2014-06-29 Thread shaun mcsorley
Hi everyone, 

Just interested to know if anyone has my quantum I sold about 10 months ago. It 
was a quantum coupe Q99. Would love to know if it's still running etc...

Re: [Quantum Owners] Quantum for sale.

2013-07-14 Thread shaun mcsorley
To be honest I thought £1000 was low but having the highest bid on eBay at
£570 with 70 people watching it I've began to lower my assumptions. Someone
than offered me £850 but I've just had it taxed and MoT so that's more like
a £600 offer :(

Thanks for the reply

 As much as possible I consider £1000 to be far too low (but I am

 Seriously, it's a very difficult thing to pin down as (with any auction)
 it depends who's looking at the time and what their budget is. Personally I
 think we need (as club members) to buy as many as we can to be able to 'set
 the price'

 Just wandering if anyone sow my red saloon Q099 on eBay? Could anyone
 suggest to me what I should be looking to get realistically. Just spent
 £200 having it taxed and MoT so I feel around £1000 or is that to steep?

 Many thanks

 Hello all,

 With great regret I am going to have to sell my quantum. Two slipped
 discs in my lower back means that it isn't really suitable for me to drive
 or work on.

 It's a red quantum coupe number 99. I will try and attach some pictures
 later. I've spent a fair bit on it with all new coolant pipes, custom made
 exhaust, new sound system etc and have recipes for everything to prove it.
 It has just past its Mot and only failed first time for the two front tyres
 which I replaces. All the tyres are good now and high ruler end tyres.

 Just wondering if anyone in here is remotely interested or if people know
 roughly the amount I should be looking to get?

 Very sad to sell it but would rather it go to a home that will look after
 it and work on it. Starts first time and rubs fine.

 Let me know if anyone's interested or wants more details.

 Cheers,
 Shaun McSorley

Re: [Quantum Owners] QOC new insurance scheme

 As many of you are aware from the AGM at the weekend we now have a new
 Insurance provider working along side us.The only company so far willing to
 assist the under 25s out of the 30 companies I have been negotiating with
 over the past year is Adrian Flux.

 We have negotiated various schemes not only for the u25s, but for the rest
 of the membership as well. Some of you will be pleasantly surprised
 with what we have negotiated.

 On the club website very shortly there will be a list of products and
 services, there will be a bespoke phone number for the members to use also.
 This will allow us to monitor and evaluate who is benefitting from the new
 scheme.

 However I shall need conformation from you if you take out the scheme and
 information on the various options you have taken out.

 The agreed value system we have negotiated  is in full swing and I highly
 recommend you take this option out other wise you will only be paid out at
 market value!
 Full details will be in the club site shortly.

 Best Wishes

 Andy h.

 we have track dayed with for ten years now and wife Diane will drive to and
 I bet we will be the only one there too, plus we have booked Thruxton  with

 The only time I saw one was when I was driving my boring Mondeo and Diane
 was driving my sister in my Quantum.
 Where will I spot one then?
 Watched a guy walk all round mine and scratch his head as I think he had
 not a clue what it was when my boss said careful, watch him he might dump
 some rubbish in it cos he thinks its a skip.
 I retorted with well its not just another BMW that becomes cheap chav

[Quantum Owners] Quantum coupe issue

2013-03-04 Thread shaun mcsorley
Hi all,

Hope you are all good!

My quantum has served me very well.. up until now. The issue is the starter 
motor has seized up so that should be easy enough to fix. The main issue 
that i am facing is the wiring. Not long ago i had some minor work carried 
out by a local garage who informed me that the whole wiring of the car is 
in a very bad state. (I am saving you the several adjectives he used to 
describe it!) I think that the car is basically going to require a complete 
basic re-wire. Having very little knowledge off car electronics, I began 
too look at companies that do this but quotes of near £1000 have shocked me.

The question i have is that if i spend enough time attempting to re-wire my 
car could I do it relatively easily. I do have time to spare but balancing 
my job for Aston martin and my OU degree means I only have several hours 
(or less) to spare a weel so I would have to do it over a long period of 
time.

I think that if i can not do this myself i will have to sell the car, which 
I love so i would rather not have to do that. Ideally if i could find 
someone that would like to have a go on the wiring as a project with me 
paying for parts etc would be ideal but I understand that this is a perfect 
situation that I am unlikely to find. ANY TAKERS??? ;)

Any comments or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated, or if 
anyone has any interest in a quantum to buy as a project let me know
Quantum coupe, red, number 99

Many thanks
Shaun McSorley

[Quantum Owners] Under 21 insurance

2012-02-08 Thread shaun mcsorley
I hope your all well
This message only really concerns those under 21, not too sure how
many of us there are!

If you are under 21 and insured with footman James it is possible we
have a problem. My friend owns a classic land rover defender and has
only been with footman for a year. His policy is for renewal next
month but he has received a letter saying they will no longer insure
him. I called them up and without giving my details the guy confirmed
that this is the case for all policy's under 21!

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up just in case this is
true, I will call and give all my details this week and see if this
really will be the case. Just a shame if it is as I love my quantum
but there's not a chance another company will insure me at 17 with a
130bhp fiesta rs!

Hope nothing comes of it, and your all having a good new year so far.

 Watch out for using mole grips on brake pipes as the sharp edges of the

Such a helpful response thanks so much for your time. I will have a look
for tis vent some time this week and will also flush out the brake fluid as
im sure it needs doing now anyway. I really want to learn more about the
car as i'm going into mechanical engineering so i'm going to brave it and
start putting my knowledge to the test because i was a bit worried that i
would make things worse. Suppose there is only one way to learn tho!

 Sorry, I wouldn't know how to test for brake fluid contamination,
 short of taking a sample to a lab which is likely to be prohibitively
 expensive.
 Might be worth inquiring if there has been any recent work to the
 brakes though.

 My suggestion would be to completely drain the system, flush through
 thoroughly with the correct fluid, and then re-fit the new master
 cylinder.
 It's not a bad idea to replace your brake fluid every few years
 anyway.  Brake fluid will absorb water from the atmosphere, which
 collects in the system and can cause corrosion.

 On the AX, we did this, and then changed both rear wheel cylinders,
 and put new seals in the front calipers.
 They would probably have failed sooner or later anyway, due to the
 contamination affecting the seals.

 But working from an unknown history?  Tricky.



 One other thing I can think of.  Some cars (not sure whether this
 applies to the Fiesta/Quantum) have a tiny vent hole in the brake
 fluid cap.
 This is to allow air into the master cylinder, to replace the fluid
 displaced from the reservoir when the pedal is pushed.
 (The air gets pushed back out again when the pedal is released and
 fluid returns to the reservoir - air shouldn't get into the system
 this way).
 If the vent hole is blocked, it's possible a slight vacuum in the
 reservoir might prevent fluid getting into the master cylinder
 properly.
 This could cause symptoms like those you're seeing.
 I can't remember how the Fiesta cap vents, but if it's been fitted
 with an aftermarket fashion cap, or pattern master cylinder, it may
 be missing the vent.

 TonyV.

   For example, even a trace of Citroen brake fluid in the system could

   We found this out the hard way, after we had to change the master
   cylinder in Louise's old AX several times in a couple of weeks.
   Turns out the Citroen AX doesn't use Citroen brake fluid.
   We'd bought a bottle of fluid at the same time as the new Master
   Cylinder, and recommended by the motor factors.
   The can of brake fluid just said suitable for most Citroens - no
   actual application list, so we'd taken his word (and catalogue lookup)
   that it was the right one.

 Hi everyone
 I really want to get some new seats for my quantum turbo coupe on a
 1.6 fiesta rs. I have seen some nice bucket seats that recline on ebay
 and am genuinely considering buying them because my recaro seats are
 not in a good condition. My only issue is, is what to do with the rear
 seats? as soon as i put some nice new leather seats in the front the
 back will look very outdated. Does anyone know some nice rear leather
 seats or can advise me on what to do? not a big fan of seat covers but
 would consider an upholstery.
 Thanks in advance

[Quantum Owners] Re: Brakes

2011-11-07 Thread shaun mcsorley
There is an odd banging noise coming from the front right tyre,
sounding like the wheel is coming off. I took it today to quick fit to
have the tyres checked and he made sure there on secure. Also when i
brake firmly the car skids quite easily and will leave a mark on the
ground just from the front Left tyre, it then feels like there pulling
too the right. I think this might be releated so gnna jack the car up
this week and see whats going on!
To michael- The pedal went so that i could push it further down
without much braking happening, then it eventually got to the point
where i could push it too the floor and the car would slow down very
very slowly. Took it to the garage and they told me it was the master
cylinder. It just feels like the same thing is happening now but after
taking it out before, the pressure is definitely changing randomly :S

  Sorry, I wouldn't know how to test for brake fluid contamination,
  short of taking a sample to a lab which is likely to be prohibitively
  expensive.
  Might be worth inquiring if there has been any recent work to the
  brakes though.

  My suggestion would be to completely drain the system, flush through
  thoroughly with the correct fluid, and then re-fit the new master
  cylinder.
  It's not a bad idea to replace your brake fluid every few years
  anyway.  Brake fluid will absorb water from the atmosphere, which
  collects in the system and can cause corrosion.

  On the AX, we did this, and then changed both rear wheel cylinders,
  and put new seals in the front calipers.
  They would probably have failed sooner or later anyway, due to the
  contamination affecting the seals.

  But working from an unknown history?  Tricky.

  One other thing I can think of.  Some cars (not sure whether this
  applies to the Fiesta/Quantum) have a tiny vent hole in the brake
  fluid cap.
  This is to allow air into the master cylinder, to replace the fluid
  displaced from the reservoir when the pedal is pushed.
  (The air gets pushed back out again when the pedal is released and
  fluid returns to the reservoir - air shouldn't get into the system
  this way).
  If the vent hole is blocked, it's possible a slight vacuum in the
  reservoir might prevent fluid getting into the master cylinder
  properly.
  This could cause symptoms like those you're seeing.
  I can't remember how the Fiesta cap vents, but if it's been fitted
  with an aftermarket fashion cap, or pattern master cylinder, it may
  be missing the vent.

We found this out the hard way, after we had to change the master

Turns out the Citroen AX doesn't use Citroen brake fluid.
We'd bought a bottle of fluid at the same time as the new Master

The can of brake fluid just said suitable for most Citroens - no

The brakes were so soft and i was barely getting anything from them. My
local garage told me that it was because there had been a brand new one put
on but not machined on properly so i had to get a new one. the brakes are
starting to feel the same again with the pressure changing randomly,
hopefully i may just have air in my brakes. im only 17 and brought this car
to improve my knowledge on engines ect but i think the garage feel they can
take the michael abit, especially how i had 3 burst coolant pipes and then
the broken master cylinder a week after they gave it a full check over!

 Managed to get the thing slowed down on the box - a light car and a
 big engine has lots of engine braking, even a low compression turbo
 lump - and got the thing parked safely; blagged a lift to the AGM with
 Joe and on the return had it towed to his place where we laboured

 Finding you have no brakes at sixty miles an hour and fifty metres

 If you  need to be creative with your number plate spacing (which
 would obviously  be highly illegal!), then ebay is a good option! Just
 make sure you also  have some road legal plates for your MOT!

 just make sure that you only use 'creative number plates' off the road. If  
 you were to be prosecuted for using them on the road the penalty is a fine
 and  the confiscation of your registration entitlement.

 On the other hand if you were to use something like H 4 TUR you would be  OK
