On my ABL, on taking out the air box to remove that rubber bung to clean the muck out of the wing vent found half the air filter element was soaked in water, bottom of air box was dry can only think is coming off scuttle ledge as parked on an angle. Anybody else had this? Theres a shop by me that do £8.99 K and N rip off cone filter think I might get one as it would be mid air mounted and any water should miss it. Thoughts anyone.

The Mrs just found the problem. Tipped water over the air box, water got in under where the pipe goes on from manifold, took apart and air box lid is warped and a part broken off that double lip that forms the seal. Going to play about with cone filter the weekend, picture a fabricated alley bulkhead with air pipe going thro' but we'll see.

Ahh me dads got a mark 1 Mexico, did have a lotus Cortina and just sold a rally prepped mark2 rs2000 for a ruddy fortune. He always comes up smelling of roses. Yet the one ford I had was a d reg xr3i I swear on a dark night you could hear it rust. Wifes first car she loved the thing. Did go well mind.

Some nice old Ford's there mate, I had an xr4i loved that old thing, i also had an xr4x4 but I stuffed that into a tree at over 80mph, I've had loads the escort rs turbo was the fastest, that thing made me smile.
Always had VW's in the family too, really glad I got my own one now tho !!!
Sell my T4 ? I'd rather stick wasps up my butt !!!
