    I agree, best cable is welding cable, very fine multicore which gives less resistance.

    Rear Arch Rust Success?

    The inner and outer arch were bonded in production and not welded. The inner arch lip is usually rusted to nothing and needs replacing with new metal. This can only really be done in sections, welded in a bit at a time, unless you have a very good panel beater/sheet metal worker to make a new...

    Pistons!

    The 1.7 has not got liners, nikasil is a plating process that protects the aluminium. They can be repaired http://www.langcourt.com/page27.html The 1.4 and 1.6 have steel liners, all engines start with the same block.

    Are rally snow tyres illegal on the roads?

    tungsten tipped tyres are only meant for use on ice and snow, they give as much grip as a standard tyre on tarmac, the problem is that the tungstens are ripped out of the tyre as soon as you drive on tarmac. To buy tungsten tipped tyres would be a waste of money imo and you could be facing a...

    Inner Arches Rusted Through!

    No its not! Quick fix and the rust will come back, WORSE! The outer wing does not weld to the inner wing, it is bonded (which comes off!) The only real way to fix this problem is to cut out the rot and replace with new metal, and seam seal the inside lip then stonechip and underseal. Also waxoil...

    Inner Arches Rusted Through!

    206 wing is the best option. I did this repair on my car, the inner arch lip was rotten so had to fabricate a new lip and weld in, fold up the 206 wing and run seam sealer across the join then stone chip and underseal. No more water getting in.

    Cambelt: Visual Check?

    Visual check may show any signs of fraying on the edges or cracks in the belt but the majority of cambelt failures are caused by bearing failure which you cant see. The bearing is a sealed unit and only lasts so long, hence the service intervals. Best option is to change 10k earlier than...

    Rough Price for arch repair

    The filler doesnt, its the rust behind that expands causing the filler to crack. I have just done the arches on an R reg 1.4 using the Peugeot front wing method and they look great. The previous owner had done the filler option and they were in a really bad way, also if its a patch up job then...

    body panels??

    I had to do the same thing, cut out and splice in new metal and rewelded the brake pipe tab back on. Take out the rear inner arch or pressure wash it out regular to stop it happening. Not tried Ford for panels but that piece will not be available.

    Save your arches, advise

    I have just repaired my rear arches but here is a little advise. If your rear arches are in good condition the i recommend that you remove the rear 1/4 cards and spray inside with waxoil, I used the underbody seal with waxoil after I repaired mine. Also the rear inner arches should be removed...

    rusty wheel arches.....:(

    Depends on how much of the inner arch you need to replace. The first one took a whole day but I managed the other side in about 5 hours. I use a joggler so I can slide the new arch under the old one, but you can just put the new one on top and bog further up the rear wing. I use loads of tack...
