Can some one help me ?

Hi Pete- was the airflow noise like a rushing/fizzing/sizzling noise from the drivers footwell/transmission tunnel. If so its well known, the flow restrictor will not be fitted in the heater pipe. Its easily fixable and nothing to worry about.

Hi yes it was, i will tell garage tomorrow then as they are giving the once over cheers

On some of our cars the mustang was 'acquired' by others as a trophy.

I'd better get a few restrictors rattled off then, Dobbo is also suffering the same problem

The wheels are fine, they were standard fitment on the non SE 260.

Good luck with the car Pete

Well I never knew that! Apologies for misinformation...

I used to live in Larkfield - we moved there in 1967 before the M20 was built.
It was second choice when my Father left the army as we were originally going to do the £10 Tourist trip to Australia but my dear Mother bottled at the last minute so they bought a new Semi for £2500 iirc

I have fond memories of Maidstone before commercialisation and modernisation messed it up!

My Mother lives in Bearsted now.

I'm not much use with recommendations in Kent as I have lived outside the UK for fifteen years , but I grew up in Maidstone and like Keith have good memories of it. My parents lived in Penenden Heath and I went to Maidstone Grammar School. A great school which set me up very well for university and my career. I still keep in touch with the school in fact and hosted a visit by 30 Year 12/13 French students here in Paris just before Christmas.
Cheers,
Julian.

If you need the Mustang badge for the throttle body. There was one on the bits I left with Peter Wayte which I think Tim has now got. There was also one on the throttle body I left at Dreadnought when I had the blower fitted. So they are around if you want to look for one.
