Can anyone tell me where i could get a new brake compensator for a 1981 X reg talbot horizon?? I've tried all the usual stuff (andyspares etc.) I'm from a peugeot dealer and we've searched the dealer network with no luck!!
Regards Andy

Couple of usual sources :
Dean Hunter 01977 677887
R J Grimes 0208 668 1455/6
Dick Husband at CB Motors 02476 686899
Colin Hill 01473 737325
the last two listed by the Simca/Talbot owners club.
I know the 309 was developed from the Horizon, but never been underneath either to know what the brake set up was.
There is also a brand new 1.5 recon petrol engine still in its crate on ebay at the moment, 99p !
Good to see your at a dealer that takes an interest in older cars too ! which one?

I bet you've started something now! ;D I can just imagine forum members (now there's a word!) typing in all manner of naughty words to see the result. I think I'll resist the temptation tonight, but if I'd been drinking...........  By the way, I'm certainly pleased that my surname isn't Hunt  Mike  I think I've seen too many Carry On films  |

Thanks for all the help chaps i'll give your sources a try this morning. The dealer i work for is A.J.Blackler in Torquay and we do still see a few older pugs though it's it getting less and less these days. It helps that there are still a couple of us enthusiasts working here!!
Regards Andy

As admin I can see the whole list of "naughty words" that the forum doesn't like. Most are quite American.
Will remove "thingy" so all you Richards out there can use your short names!!
;D
