Hi,

Do you still have the car?

Would you be able to supply any of the following, and how much would they be?

Brake Vacuum Servo
Headlight Wiper motor's (both sides)
Drivers side front indicator.

Thanks

[foggyjames]

Sorry about the slow replies folks.

I don't know if they'll fit, but I suspect so. I can check with VADIS when I get a minute though...will be in touch. I'll also have to check that the engine bay sections are in good condition following the engine removal....we were rushing at the end!

As Andrew says, yours are probably 7.5"...but you never know, as this C70 had 7s from a V70R fitted. If you remove one of the wheels, you can confirm it by reading the stamping on the reverse of one of the spokes - either 17x7J, or 17x7.5J. Before you go to that trouble, though, I should mention that the alloy is already spoken for, but I'll put you down as being second in line, in case that falls through.

Hi Andy,

Excuse my ignorance...is this fusebox in the interior (opposed to being the one just in front of the windscreen, in that plastic cowling)? If so, I don't think I've seen it before! The relay will be there, and I'm sure we can remove it for you...if we can find it!

Hi Rich,

The car originally had an SC-900, which did what all 900/901s seem to like doing, and failed. We still have it, and I imagine you can have it for peanuts if you wanted it for a core exchange unit for a repair place. I also have an SC-901 available, which works perfectly (last time I checked...will check again prior to selling), if that would be of interest...?

I must confess to being slightly confused by this...when you say load cover, I picture the retractable cover from a *V*70. Is there a C70 equivalent that I'm not familiar with?

You've got me wondering now, Roger! I seem to recall a conversation where you asked for the speaker itself, and we said we were planning to sell the complete kit (dashtop / speaker / pro-logic processor)...but that you could buy the speaker if the kit didn't sell. Does that sound about right?

Yes, the car is still here, and has in fact been given a stay of execution, because I can't find a trailer anywhere in the Lincoln area available on Friday!

Servo is there, but hissed when the master cylinder was removed. I think this is normal, but I need to do a sanity check on that one...! It may also have been damaged during engine removal, as we were in quite a hurry, and didn't think anyone would want it! I'll check it, anyway.

H/L wiper motors are there and worked...but are an utter pig to remove. Since it's a scrapper, I'll most likely cut the front panel to get them out.

The car itself is missing its indicators (it had the front lights from a 2003+ C70...now sold), but I do have some. I'll have to check condition, as I don't think they're that great.

cheers

Duh! Sorry, I'm an idiot - or at least I didn't read the thread title properly! Hey ho - thanks for reply anyway! Cheers

It's in the interior. To access the relay you need to remove the panel under the steering column. (The one with the footwell light in) It's not difficult as it's only one torx screw. If you look upwards from the footwell you'll see the fuse box containing the relays. In saying this I'm assuming that the coupe is the same as the convertible which I have.

Also, does this model have the auto-dimming interior mirror. If so I would be interested in that too.

are the rear bumper brackets any good? one of mine has rusted through. These are the U shaped brackets that are held onto the car by 2 bolts and a long vertical bolt goes through the the bumper from the bottom. Thanks.

[foggyjames]

No worries about the load cover. I have a broken one in beige, but I imagine that's no good to you!

Ok, I'll have a look for the relay tonight, if I can. No auto-dimming mirror, I'm afraid. If there was, I think it might be in a certain V70R by now

Bumper bolts...well the bumper is still attached, but I think they'll be bent from the impact. These might be worth pricing up new from FRF. Items like this are often surprisingly cheap. For example, I was quoted £20 for a second-hand 'R' bumper grille (OS)...while it was £11 brand new.

cheers

Does it have the redwood trim around the gear shift?

[foggyjames]

I'm not particularly familiar with which colour is which, but I think it's redwood, yes. It's the same colour as the wood on my old S70, and lighter than the brown wood in the V70R.

cheers
