I'm Finding My Feet Here Now
Ray, im sure mine may have been one of his as there are not that many here. As you can imagine, NZ is a big place but also small towns are very small town here. I have only just got hold of my Cossie and don't really know the Cossie community yet but if you have anymore information where he lives etc i could do some searching for you for sure, no worries.

thanks wessa for getting back philip lived in hamilton was married to angie oliver if yours was one that viv exported i might have driven it to the docks i took a few white ones for him the best upgrade you can do is a hydrolic clutch conversion if your handy with the spanners its not a bad job to do your self theres a couple ways of doing it one way you dont have to take the box out ive recently done mine i dont usally say the fraze but its so sweet its the only word that describes it any more info would be great thanks ray
Im sure the clutch upgrade will be on the todo list somewhere.
As for Philip and Angie, all i can do is ask people when i get to enquire about stuff. You may want to try these guys http://www.lodgeautocentre.co.nz/ as they sold it to the guy i bought it from and did alot of work to my car. Apparently im the third owner in NZ since 96 so im sure someone may know Philip somehow.
They are a few hours from Hamilton.
I will always ask whoever i speak to in the cossie world here.
Would be good if you found him right.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Wessa Just looked on the lodgeautocenter site, seems like they would be the place to get parts from local to you and where I would be taking my Saff if I lived there. You have to find someone who knows Cosworths inside out who can be trusted to do a good job and I reckon they would be the ones.
