Welcome aboard.
As it's been off the road for a while, read the following Dangers of Ethonal video
Just for info. -- 1976 eagles and Lincoln Have to use none-ethanol petrol, ( Esso Synergy super unleaded 99 octane, contains A )zero: B) or E5 of 5% instead of E10 with 10% All depends on the location of the Esso station - ( Lincoln runs on 82 octaine if was available ) and zinc rich engine oil..
ethanol destroys alloy carbs and rubber, AND dont store ethanol in tank for more than 12 months because it absorbs water, which not only rots your tanks, also attacks rubber diaphrams, cork and plastic floats, and fuel lines in older cars.

Vehicle Details
Vehicle make EAGLE RV Date of first registration August 1994 Year of manufacture 1994 Cylinder capacity 1800 cc
i don't remember Ford making a Pinto engine of 1800 cc, are you sure its not a 1600 ?
Regards Ram ( Chairman )

Hi Aky, welcome to Eagle RV ownership! It looks like your Eagle is very nicely setup and hopefully won't take too much to get through an MOT and back on the road. Unfortunately Eagle RV doors are quite a rarity (I've been looking for some for quite some time), a few owners have embarked on making their own doors. If you have the skills to make some, you may find there are a few people lining up with requests!
