• Ford - car that got under your skin 8 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  nice story on today's Telegraph website about a man who found found piece of Ford Cortina windscreen embedded in his chin 30 years after the accident that put it there. He'd always thought the small lump on his chin was a harmless cyst, but was amazed when a shard of glass popped out when he cut

• Anorak question 19 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I was looking at some old Fords on e-bay and trying to remember some of the colours that were current around the time of the Cortina 1600E in the late sixties. Silver Fox, Blue Mink , Saluki Bronze come to mind. Then there was that metallic pink, was it Oyster ? Anyone help out?
• Biggest impovement on manufactures' model change? 26 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I'd vote for Cortina to Sierra. My company Cortina needed a new clutch every 20,000 miles, a new gearbox at 65,000 miles , a new diff at 80.000 and new discs every 30,000miles. It was completely knackered at 90,000 miles. My Sierras (two of them) did 135,000 miles and 140,000 miles with very little
• VIN checker now costs 23 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Re autobaza.pl It would appear that this service now costs. A response like this: MODEL TAURUS, CORTINA, SIERRA, MONDEO, COUGAR is not a lot of use. Oh well it was good while it lasted for free. The Ford site does still expand from a nunber plate.

• BBC 4 Tonight (Saturday) 11 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  For those who have digital. 7.05 tonight BBC 4 are showing The Secret Life of The Ford Cortina. First screened in 1982 as part of the Arena series it is interesting and at times very funny. I caught the second half of it when they ran it earlier in the week. A great piece of eighties nostalgia.

  I have a quantity of MotorCraft oil filters, part no EFL 90, which were originally intended for the 2 litre OHC Pinto engine fitted to the Ford Cortina range. These filters look the same physical size as those fitted to the 2.5 litre Ford DI Deisel in the Transit. The filter part number quoted

• What next for Ford after the 1.0 Ecoboost.... 1 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  .................engine going in Focus size car. Well, apparently according to Ford engineers the next stage is downsizing of the cars themselves, and that means weight reduction and less drag. I say about time! Mondeo/Sierra/Cortina man no longer buys a Mondeo, because its the size

• Why do tyres blowout? 6 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  I have only had one blowout, it was years ago in a Ford Cortina and was caused by a small sharp rectangle of metal being thrown up by the offside front wheel and going on to slice through the sidewall of the rear offside: Bang! I have heard of many blow-outs and often there is an obvious cause

  Hello all I need to fit front disks and pads, how easy is it? My Dad will help me who last fitted them to a Ford Cortina. i also need to fit some new rear flexible brake hoses, is this easy enough to be done or is it worth paying £100 for some one else to do it. Any advice will be appreciated :D
