I think the everything else said in this thread should now be moved onto another because it's now not about the car in question which is a real shame!

Trivial fact time (if anyone's interested).

It took me over 7 hours to read this thread from start to finish - well worth it.... not.

Wow 7 hours! It should start to get interesting again once it gets back on track. I will add some pics of the paint progress later just for you! The aircon panel is also fitted too.

My major concern is that if this had happened to anybody else but Martin, Jacko would of fobbed them off good and proper. Thanks to the power of the forum and Martins standing within it is on its way to being rectified..

I think this needs to stay up so Jacko can't do the same to anybody else.

But to be honest that is a sort of fob off in a way! When I asked how long it would take to fix the issues you told me that you didn't know when it would be and said 3 ,6 or potentially longer months and at that point you did know I was under the cosh timewise. Bear in mind my car was a commitment too but should also been considered a priority for rectification.

I just want paying up and an end to all this crap, when will that be exactly?

Just imagine if I had paid all I had and had no other funds to carry on, what would happen then?

I can forward the paint samples to the supplier if you let me know who they are?

That was my thoughts exactly, the amount of money this must have cost would take the majority of people a long time to save for or even maybe get a loan, if that was the case they certainly wouldn't be able to pay again to have someone else to do it so they would be screwed.

If I ever bought a Cossie I'd love all these little mods' on it. I mean, some of them aren't the most ingenuis or even new ideas, but I bet when they all come together this will be one amazing road car for a Sierra.

Dont think the problems with the paint needed to be kept a secret but could of been dealt with a little better from all concerned.

Because the channel is not the same shape and the cover inside doesn't sit right, I'm sure the spline doesn't poke through enough too... I did this many years ago and just copied what I did back then. Ford changed the profile for a reason....

I wonder why mine fitted ok then , I did trim the cover but the spindle fitted through perfect

Must be 2 different versions

Steve
but after 7 years you don't kno whats going to be wrong with it

and seeing as you can buy a working granda with air con for £100 and everything bar the brackets on the front rad being 2 inches lower will also fit, i'm not sure there is a huge market for the one listed

i may be wrong, but i've fiddled with them a bit in the past
