Well it appeared to be OK, put it back in WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR checked the voltage of the battery 9.6V Put it on the charger (only for 45 min as I was impatient) wrrr clunk So it is engaging, will fire her up tomorrow night, then the indicators go in. Saturday, check the rear brakes

Alt may be gone, or you flattened the battery trying to start it. (almost flat battery plus a cold winters night = flat battery) So charge it or swap betteries if you can. KY.. I bet you waited for a long time to say that! .. post of the week I reckon

UJ wearing out??? I thought he was the oldschool chuck norris!

Hi R100 I will test it tomorrow night, see how it goes, but may be in touch with you. Thanks mate!

cheers.. another night in the garage then..

^more details, where do I put the screw driver? Cheers

Front brakes appear fine after dissasembly Will look at the rears during the week Will order a complete set of wheel cylinders and a new master cylinder once I get back into the black with the bank !

Anglia 105e Went to fire her up today to get her into the sunlight to sort the brakes issue. The starter motor turned but was not engaging the flywheel so all I got was wirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRR I tried tapping the motor and bell housing with a hammer and had no luck I tried putting the car in gear and rocking it, swaying it etc and had no luck I got down on my knees and begged and had no luck So I pulled the starter out... Are the teeth fucked?

Hi guys, sorry for the LOOONG description, but I thought if you were enough of a GC to read this I better give you all the info. Car 1967 anglia 105e (drums all round) The car has been off the road for 10 years or so. 2 years ago I put in new rear wheel cylinders. I was planning to put in front ones too, but for lots of reasons (pregnant wife, no $$, etc) I didnt. I drained the brake lines as I thought new fluid all the way thru would be good. (I know I could have just pumped new fluid as I bled the brakes, but I wasnt thinking too clear at the time). A few weeks ago I got her running and then went to flush the brake lines out and the pedal went to the floor and stayed there. I took the master cyl out and pumped it a few times and it began to work fine, Put it back in and pump pump pump no fluid moving but the pedal was going up and down with very little resistance I disconnected each of the brake lines from the 4 way splitter (no servo) and found that this created a lotof pedal resistance the first time I pushed the pedal. I then flushed the lines thoroughly ( a stubby of brake fluid per wheel) and bled them. Brakes seemed fine. Took her for a drive to the garage for fresh fuel and air in her tyres and they were good as gold. Firm pedal, able to lock the wheels up at 60kmh etc. Went to move car out of the garage today and pedal went to the floor. No fluid in master cylinder. What is my next step?

UJ.. cheers mate. That would be cool as I work in 'goon Nice to see you here as well as the spearo forum!

Hey man, thanks for the feedback! if I do the respray, it will look rugged as! I will do it the orginal blue (prob with some satin or semi gloss laquer) so it will look pretty original. The back bumper etc have the odd ding in them so it will look 'untouched' at first glance. If I find a set of cheap minilights I will slap em on otherwise hubcaps and wheel trim will stay

how did you go? I am saving the pennies to get a kit from milton race prep in the UK Mk2 cortina conversion. I think escort stuff means you have to move the motor back 2 inches or something. Just putting cortina or 315 struts changes some steering geometry so new TCAs etc are in order too.. It is annoying that 105es are so finnicky in this regard

yeah, it is nice to keep her as original as possible. if it was modded heaps i would lose my licence

Hey there, I am thinking the original blue as i dont have to paint the inside or the engine bay this time round. , Cheers for the heads up about paint. Satin hides a few sins that gloss will show doesnt it. More pics will follow as I progress... cheers guys

yeah... dunno if that is a completely bad thing.. I think I will keep this one pretty stock, but when she is on the road I might do a zetec anglia or cortina

pics of the anglia in the other thread

Hi there I have a 105e, I got her for $500 on my 16th birthday ('91) She is original, 997cc of goodness. She was taken off the road in 02 and will be sitting her WOF in the next few weeks. (Reg is on hold). My plans are a respray, new carpets, some period bucket seats a different carb (prob a weber 2 barrel) and some extractors and I have an exhaust system with 2 cherry bombs waiting to go in when I get the extractors (springtime due to $$) Cheers Felixx

thanks for the quick reply I will take pics tomorrow

Thanks matey, Any other canterbury anglia pilots on here? I am getting a group of anglias together for a lunch on the 19 june at styx and stones in belfast

Hi guys and girls. Just discovered this forum, I am based in christchurch and getting my 105e back on the road (last WOF/ Reg expired early 2002) I was wondering who in chch would be the cheapest to get some paint (laquer will be fine) as I have a compressor and will buy a spraygun. Pictures to come ASAP
