There was, ar one time, a fairly well documented conversion for the 2+2 involving the use of a mk1 (non ABS) MONDEO Servo. There were a few minor (?) Fitting complications, but the result was reported to be a huge improvement. Incidentally, the servo for the Mk3 based H4 is also as hens teeth to

This comment might be completely useless...but you never know. A little while ago a friend of mine was looking for a Mk 3 Fiesta Master Cylinder and servo for his TVR...and (so it seems) one from KIA was found to be satisfactory: a trawl of TVR fora might point out which one? Furthermore, I

When I needed to replace the gas struts that supported the rear window/roof section of my (much missed) H4, I had a pair made up by a company in the midlands SGS, as I recall. They wanted precise measurements / loadings etc, but the easiest thing to have done would have been to send the

Good Morning Julian. It was always advertised as a standard Mk3 Fiesta part, but the hooks may not be in a standard position? However, I had no trouble having a replacement fitted off the shelf at my local specialist (NOT a national chain store) although he wouldn't do stainless steel as the

Hello Q people...first off, there's a pair of Sierra light clusters on eBayand seeing the ad reminded me of something I meant to post here. At Stoneleigh I met a guy from Lancashire who had some serious queries about his 2+2so I introduced him to Geoff Ward and Steve Kodz...but not

Hello Niall. I owned an H4 for 8 years from 2009, and when standing idle I covered it with a waterproof cover. In runnning, however, it never leaked. The rubber seal you refer to in my case was attached to the body, and the rear window, when the rear section was raised, simply rested against

Hello Martin, and good luck in your search. I have owned three Quantum saloons and one H4. All were excellent cars, but to be realistic spare parts are becoming a problem. The saloons and 2 +2 are XR2 mk2 based, the H4 Fiesta Mk3 based. If you can find a fairly standard 2+2, ideally with a

Many years ago (about 1990-91) I owned a Spartan Roadster that was stuffed up the back end by a diesel Citroen BX who didn't see my brake lights. The Citroen was insured with Direct Line, who made me an offer as compensation for the car as a write-off. There was never any question of title to

Very encouraging. There's a Marlin Berlinetta  I sold very reluctantly in 2010 to buy my H4 currently on eBay...for a lot more than I paid for it in 2007...and a lot more than I sold it for as well! I'm VERY tempted to buy it back, but the Marlin Cabrio I have now is a much better car, I think.
