Ok thanks very much. I’ll consult my auto electrician

Thanks for the quick reply. Just to clarify, both the outer red lights on the right side of the car work as tail light and brake. However left side if the car both outer red lights work as tail light but not as brake light.  In in other words only the two outer red lights on the right side of...

Hi guys. Recently noted all of my lights work. Indicators and everything work ok. However when I press the brake, only the right side works. Is this normal or a problem. I notice the tail lights and indicators and brake lights all share the same bulbs.

Yes Chuck that wa one thing and there was no spring pressure and valves all burnt out and not sitting and damaged on ends.

Well folks.  Thank you all for your advice.  Turns out it wasn't the headers leaking.  Turns out it was.....just about everything in the top of the motor.  Valves were stuffed (several of them) and leaking and not closing off and damaged.  Roller rockers were stuffed - several of them (from...

Hi everyone. Thanks so far. A quick update. Went back to the exhaust shop. Definitely not leak. So I dropped into an old school mechanic around the corner and he will look at it properly in a couple of weeks as he is too busy this week but he thinks it’s rear passenger side lifter or rocker...

Ok thanks everyone. I’ll take it to another mechanic. I only just (last week) had an entirely new custom made set of headers put on so I assumed it wouldn’t be an exhaust leak. The last set of headers definitely leaked. Should I take it back to the exhaust shop? My assumption is they would have...

Fantastic job. I have lots of questions. How did you get old black paint off?  My is flaky and dull. What paint did you use?  Masking is obviously a real pain?

Thanks. I was born in 71 also. Turns out I'm a month younger than my car! Thanks David. Very informative

Thanks so much guys. That really clears it up. It's a 72. Thank you all

Hi guys, I'll post my Marti soon but I have a question. My vin is 2F05Qetc. My Martin report says the actual build date is 25 0ctober 1971. So my vin says my car is a 1972 but Marti report say made in October 1971. Do I call my car a 71 or a 72? Important for personalised plates I'm going to...

Fantastic 72H. You are a marvel. Yeah love that they just yanked it out. Friggin shipping company.

Thanks 72H, Yeah when I pull the release the pedal doesn't come all the way out. I have to yank it out with my hand but it still seems stuck. Will get it checked out.

Hi, My 72 Mach 1 has just been shipped to me. The guys obviously popped out the aerial in order to fit the car in the shipping container. How do I get the aerial back in the base. Do I just force it in? Seems it has just been yanked out with some distress to the plastic at the bottom of the...

Hi, Just revied my 72 Mach 1 form the USA the other day. Rolling it off the truck was a hassle as the park Brake seems stuck on even when I activate the release lever. Any suggestions as to what the issue is and how to resolve? Adam
