Hi folks, it's been a while in the making.
Their were horrors along the way, like discovering that the
Argentinians stopped using JUMPBRAGCKDELYST in their months codes
after 1981 and went to something completely different.
But now you can download a program that will decode all NON-US Ford
VIN
numbers from the period January 1961-Dec 2009. Vehicles prior to
1965 have a different system of VIN code again, and I am

working on making it being able to read those as well. It was
intended to be 1965 - 2009, but there is that 5 years I can do

something about. I just to need to do some more coding. But anyway,
decoding VINs from Europe and Australia, South Africa,

Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, etc. between 1965 to 2009 is not bad.
Date codes for South Africa between the period 1979 and 1985 are
assumed as I have no details on any VINs from that period.

Free for you at,

http://www.vk3ukf.com/vk3ukf_files/Ford/Ford.htm

I am still calling it the X-FILE at the moment, until I sort out the
pre 65 codes, So it is at the bottom of the page.

There are also some screen shots of the program working to look at.

If you downloaded the X-File previously, replace it with this.

I'd love some feedback on this, and any info on South African date
codes for 1978 to 1985

Cheers all, Kevin.

Hi folks, I am looking for assistance with information.
I am writing a program to decode all the Ford VIN prefixes in the
world.
Australia, Europe, Brazil, Argentina, etc, everywhere except the US.
Please excuse my language, I speak only English and use Alta Vista
Babel Fish to translate.
There is an Australian verision already online, as well as the X-
File experimental.The X-File is the world version.
These programs are online. If you want to assist with the gathering
of knowledge and it being put into one place that

does a job, (in the program) it can only benefit all of us and those
in the future, because at the moment,
all the info is scattered all around the world, and none of it seems
to be in one place.
The X-File does of course, Australia, and England or European models
from the classic period 1960's to 1980's.
There are some holes no doubt in the European or English model line.
There may be some in the Australian line.
Only if other people put their two bob's worth in will we ever know.
The big holes are in the Asian or Japanese

produced Ford CKD kits assembled in Australia and overseas.
Anyway, have a look at the software.
There is also 3 sample pages from a book of Ford Australia model
numbers 1961-1971 Passenger Vehicles and

Trucks.
The Ford stuff is all at,

http://www.vk3ukf.com/vk3ukf_files/Ford/Ford.htm

A few years ago we did a date decoder for Mexican vehicles, as their
date codes are different.
We received help from the South of the Border Mustang Registry at,

http://www.hammar.dyndns.org/~mexmust/index.html

and Mr Robert Hernandez on that. The Mexican decoder is also
available on the vk3ukf Ford page above.
Ford date codes differ between 1978 and 1985 in Europe, Australia
and Mexico.
The other South American countries just use the European date system.
The date codes systems all match outside these years but in between
it is confusing.
So have a gig and help out if you can, with
Australian and foreign model numbers such as we use 33 for a GT,
they use what?
Australian and foreign places of assembly codes, e.g. G and L =
Melbourne, K = Sydney, A = Auckland and L =

Lower Hutt in New zealand. etc.
Primary production codes such as J = Australia, K = Argentina, U=
Japan etc.

The software already knows these and others, so before you tell us
anything, make sure the program does not

contain it.

If you have your favourite Ford car site in your language, please
also send the URL to us.

Thanks in advance, Kevin Forbes. VK3UKF.

> do thoust not agree?
Hi Justin
You could be right. Just to liven things up a bit. I have a story to
relate to anyone who wants to read it. It is about my first car.
So here goes:

My Isetta bubble car cost me thirty-five pounds back in 1969, and she
gave me back more fun than any vehicle that I've ever owned since. I
called her "Supercar" after a children's TV show that was popular at
that time.
Pulling out to pass parked cars was an adventure, as it was a left
hand drive and the acceleration was 0-30… eventually. Approaching a
parked vehicle at the side of the road I would pull out into the
middle of the street to make my pass, then I might for instance see a
large truck heading toward me. At this point nothing could be done as
the little car didn't have a reverse gear, and as already mentioned I
didn't have the acceleration to speed past into a safe area. All I
could do was to half close my eyes (safety always on my mind), and
trundle on. I am convinced that I have heard every note on the
musical scale, emanating from all the different car horns, produced
by different manufacturers, used against my little car and me.
Parking was always fun because I never knew if I would be able to get
back in when I returned. The car had only one door and that was at
the front. So, when you opened it the steering wheel pivoted forward
along with the door, allowing easy access. However! If someone parked
too close to the front of Sc the door could not be opened due of
course to lack of room. Even on the occasions when other cars allowed
enough room I was not always able to drive straight out, I might need
to reverse her back for that little bit of extra room needed to able
exit easily out onto the road.
Fortune was with me at all times though, as my little cars brakes,
both foot brake and hand brake were not very reliable, and so it was
easy for me to pop open the sliding plastic side window, then push,
pull, and steer her free of the parking space.
Another time the poor braking system came into its own was a day I
was visiting my Mothers house. I had parked Sc at the side of the
road a little way up from Mums, I was sitting enjoying a cup of tea
and a slice of my favourite cake, (bought in specially for me), when
I was amazed to see Sc flying down the road past Mums living room
window, at a fair rate of knots. The rate of which I honestly didn't
know she was capable of achieving. Now at this point you are probably
thinking the same as I did at that time. My car was in the process of
being stolen.
`WRONG'!
The more observant onlooker would have noticed that Sc was heading
down the road at bullet speed with no driver!!!
What had happened was this:
Sc was parked as I have already related, when a woman in a large
American convertible hung a left from a side road onto the main road
where Sc was parked. This left turn of hers was going up the hill
away from Sc. But! The lady pulled out in front of a transit van that
was heading toward Sc. As the American car was very big and the owner
had not looked properly before making her turn she forced the van
driver to brake hard and skid out of control. He hit the American car
and wobbled on and down the street. Of course he was unable to stop
in time before crashing his van into Sc, whose brakes as I have
already pointed out were, not of the highest calibre (no pun
intended). Sc sustained not a scratch, even though she was hit with
enough force for her to make a personal best in the 0-60 stakes, and
I still remember the feeling of pride I had as I walked the fifty
yards or so to get her back.
Winter was (and I suspect still is) a challenge to the three-wheel
car driver, but none more than to me the owner and driver of
Supercar. I don't think I'm wrong when I say that the winters back
then were harsher than they are now, we always seemed to get snow at
some point over the winter, and it would lay around longer when it
had settled, maybe it's global warming these days, who knows? So
anyway let me carry on with this part of my story. The little Isetta
didn't have a heater, I believe this item was an optional extra on
the purchase of a new vehicle. I would wrap up warm with a scarf,
overcoat, and a warm pair of gloves, and set of on my trip to-
wherever. Trouble was I needed to drive with the side window open so
as to try and get the temperature equal inside and out, otherwise the
windows would steam up for the rest of the journey.
One trick I learned from the old timers was to rub a potato cut in
half over the windscreen this would help to cut down on misting,
unfortunately it also cut down on visibility.
When ice was around matters got somewhat more interesting, as the
misting up problem was cured!
You got no mist!.
But what you did get was ICE, and without a heater you could go
nowhere. Again the old timers came to the rescue…Glycerine! That was
the stuff. Again it had a slight drawback.
1. It worked only to a minor degree, and
2. When you did get to beat the ice and use glycerine before it
frosted you had to guess where you were going during a journey.
It was akin to looking through a shower curtain instead of glass.
Now snow was a whole new ball game. Think of a road covered in snow
and used by several cars, trucks, and buses, before you start out.
What you have here is `Tracks'. Any car can follow the car that went
before; you just follow the tracks…Right?
Wrong!
In a three-wheeler that is not going to happen. You get the front
wheels into the track, but the BACK wheel doesn't want to follow, it
slides into the rut on one side and you put the steering wheel on
lock and go crab like down the road, at some point the back wheel
finds a bit of a break in the track and flips over to the other rut
in the snow, a quick adjustment to your steering wheel and of you go
again. I would be interested to know how the owners of the three
wheeled Reliant's handle their vehicles in the snow when they have
the single wheel in the front.
Supercar's death was slow and painful, and it is only now after all
these years that I feel I can talk about it.
The beginning of the end came one day on my way to work when her
brakes let me down.
(Thinks. Maybe I should have fixed them).
I was heading towards work on my usual rout when I came up to a
particularly difficult junction. For the people who use this road
every day it is of small consequence, but to the casual user of this
rout they are not so easy to negotiate. The main road, which is the
road I take each day is quite straight forward, but at one point it
snakes at a junction with several small side roads that go off at
different angles, and so the new driver to this area, using the side
roads may think he has the right of way, and that the main road from
his angle is no more a major road than the one that he is currently
on.
And so it was on this fateful day. I was trundling along reaching
speeds close to the thirty mile per hour speed limit when I came upon
the afore mentioned junction. As I approached I became aware of a
huge truck pulling out in front of me into the road. I assessed the
situation and calculated that if he keeps moving as he was, and I was
to apply my brakes just at that moment I would slow sufficiently for
him to have passed over the critical point and into the road where he
was now heading. I still to this day think my calculations were
exact.
The problem was he had also cut in front of a car coming in the
opposite direction, and this car he saw. Our truck driver applied his
(very efficient) brakes and stopped. I however was still travelling
in his general direction and hit the back of his truck. He stayed
where he was, I could not move. The front door of Sc was stuck up the
back of his truck. As I sat their waiting for him to get out of his
cab and come around and see what had run into him I noticed that his
truck was much more than just a truck it was an Army tank carrier
complete with tank on the back. He didn't even feel the impact. He
drove away into the street that he was heading for and was gone.
Now Sc's engine had cut out at this stage and would not start. I was
sitting in the middle of a very busy and very dangerous junction in a
car that would not start. I tried to open the door and get out but
found that it was stuck. I looked down and saw why. The impact had
wrapped the bottom of the door around my foot I pulled and my foot
came out of the wreck, leaving my shoe stuck in the door, I opened it
and got out, I was wearing one shoe and the pain in my foot kicked
in. I felt more than a little embarrassed as I hopped and pushed Sc
to the side of the road. Eventually I got her started and got to work.
That lunchtime at work I took a piece of wood and a hammer and beat
the bent door into "shape"? At this point I even got my shoe back
though the sole was ripped off. I worked at a chrome platting shop at
that time and so I was able to borrow a pair of Wellington boots for
the morning, and as it turned out the rest of the day.
Anyway Sc was as good as new. (I know I Know! That's a lie). At least
I could drive her again, and my life went on as normal… for a few
days.
I did not carry much money with me when I went to work in those days
unless I was going to get some petrol or some other reason. Anyway on
this day I needed petrol and brought a ten-shilling note (fifty
pence, though it would buy a lot more then).I left the ten bob on the
bench seat of Sc while I was working, and "yes" it was still there
when I came out at lunchtime.
I would go to the petrol station and "fill her up".
Everything started as normal as I drove of down the road, but then I
felt my a*se getting hotter, and hotter, until I was sure that my
pants were on fire. I stopped as quickly as I could flung open the
door and literally jumped out of the car, smacking my backside to
kill the burning pain, and put out any fire that might have started
therein.
I turned back to Sc to inspect the damage but with me opening the
door so fast I fanned the flames and now the whole bench seat was on
fire. I started to feel a panic in my chest as I realized that Sc was
going to go up in flames (I could just about handle that) but she was
parked next to old man Roach's car. Now old man Roach was a car
dismantler, who like all the car dismantlers who went before him was
a tough bas**rd. I knew right then that he would not be happy if my
car; that I loved very much was to set his brand new Merc on fire.
Luck was with me again that day in the form of a corporation road
cleaner, and a plucky young Irish lad who leaped from the said road
cleaner with a fire extinguisher in his hands exclaiming as he
advanced I'll get that for ye sir. He was as good as his word and the
fire was put out. I breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him and he was
on his way.
So there I was Sc was still in one piece but minus a seat.
Now as I have already said I was outside old man Roach's scrap yard,
and so a plan formulated in my small brain. I would walk right into
Roach's car breaking yard and get a seat for Sc. Easy!
Problem was the ten bob that was beside me on the seat was torched,
and I had not got any more money, but in I went in anyway to ask.
`I'll give you the money when I get paid' I said to old man Roach.
`Let me see your car son' he replied.
I led him out to Sc. He looked at her and then at the close proximity
of his Merc. He smiled and said `You lucky bas**rd'. I knew what he
meant. And I smiled back; Weekly.
`Look son' he said. `I haven't got a seat that would fit your bubble
car, but I've got something that might help till you get fixed up'.
I felt like a fool driving whilst sitting on an orange box. My head
was too high and I had to bend my neck so that I could see where I
was going.
I took the burned seat back to work, which was only a few hundred
yards away, and thought I might be able to fix it up. I t became
apparent very soon that this would not be possible. The impact from
the crash a few days earlier had made me lurch forward and then back,
this had cracked one of the support springs underneath the seat. At
the same time a cover for the car battery which is also under the
seat had jumped off leaving the battery exposed. On the day I took Sc
out for petrol, the spring under the seat had given way and broken.
As I drove down the road on that day the two broken ends of the
spring touched the battery terminals and… Fire!
I managed to get a replacement seat from a second hand Isetta dealer
at the time, but the old girl didn't ever drive properly after that.
Then after her cutting out and loosing all power to the engine and
her lights one night in the middle of the Warwickshire country side I
decided enough was enough and sold her to a friend Dad for five
pounds. He was a very handy amateur mechanic, but I can tell you he
didn't ever get her to run and that was the end of Sc.
Gone but not forgotten.
R.I.P. (Rust In Peace).

Hiya matey. Is the circlip in place on the gear lever, it's the one
that goes down on the big rubber bush/gaiter on the base of the
gearstick??
My 1600E used to do exactly the same thing, go into reverse instead of
first, my clip gad broke. If you remove the soft gaiter/cover on the
gear stick there should be a big rubber doughnut looking thing
underneath. There should be a circlip round the gear stick pushing
down hard on the rubber, it's this rubber doughnut that acts like a
spring and keeps the selector hard up against the "gate".
There should be a diagram/picture in the workshop
books............................ that's about all I can think of
apart from a very expensive alternative.
Best of luck

Hello all

Could someone please tell me what I need to buy or do to correct the
problem of a very sloppy gear change? I have on occation selected
reverse gear when I needed first, and visa versa. Very embarrassing.
The gear change is not at-all positive as if it has no definite
direction, giving the feeling that it could fall out of gear at any
time (though it hasn't done that-yet). I don't think its a clutch
problem as it is not at all difficult to put in gear (even if it is the
wrong one).
I have a 1969, 1600cc Ford Capri crossflow engine with 4 speed gear box

Thank you. Mike.

Hi everyone
Can someone out there help me with identifying my Ford 1600 x/flow
engine?

The engine number is: JU35770, and I have posted a photo of the
engine on our site here in the photo section under "My Ford engined
kit car"

In the past I have had 1 VW kit car, 2 Triumph kit cars and 1 Triumph
herald, so at a pinch I can usually work out what I'm driving, but not
a Ford. I know nothing about Ford engines, apart from a Corsair 200e
I had back in the 1970s, and that car gave me so many problems...

If anyone can tell me what car the engine comes from and if possible
the year I would appreciate it. I need to get a manual and get on with
servicing and overhauling the engine. I would feel a complete fool
going to the spares shop and asking for a part, not knowing what car I
want it for.

Thanks again, Mike.

hi there all!

havent posted on here for quite a long while.

maybe the cb radio thing is a good idea, but dosent it demand a
smokey and the bandit "breaker,breaker" kind of accent?

uk law is getting quite strict on things at the moment, so its wise
not to do anything which attracts the attention of a jam sandwich
driver.

also, a big welcome to anyone whos from the kaklub and hasnt been
here before!

the website is www.kaklub.co.uk if you own a ka and havent heard of
the national owners klub yet!

sean

I have been using CB radio from early 1982, yes AM CB and went over
to FM CB in about 1984.
Although CB radio is not restricted by the law covering mobile
phones, it is however sill illegal to use a hand held microphone
while driving.
There are many charges that the police can and do bring on offenders;
driving while not in complete control of the vehicle, likely to cause
danger, without due care and attention, in a manner likely to cause
an accident.........the list goes on.
In some ways it is a shame, but the law sees you as not being in
control of the vehicle if you have anything else in your hands that
is not an essential part to the driving of the vehicle.
Enjoy, but be safe. :O)

Hi All,

If you and a few mates regularly go out driving together, then you
should think about getting CB radios - it's a great laugh, and gives
you range of up to 5 miles - plenty of scope for fun while you drive!

CB Radio in the UK is far from dead, but there's nothing like the
number of users any more, meaning clearer channels for you and your
friends, with no interuptions or hassle.

It's not affected by the mobile phone "handsfree" legislation, and
is cheap and Very easy to install - often in a few minutes with a
magnetic mount and cigarette lighter power connection, for a
temporary set-up.

I have a lot of information about CB Radio on my site, but the link
below is to a page with more information about what CB can do for
anyone who drives with others in vehicles - cruises, motoring
holidays, one-make car clubs, or just a few mates out for a drive -
ANYONE!

If you were driven off CB years ago - still take a look - it's
changed, most of the idiots have gone, but it's advantages are even
more beneficial with the british roads being what they are.

Thanks for reading!
