Welcome! Could the Mk1 be the same as a Mk2, though yours is early? I think go to Geoff too, or try Petervanlee. Our Mk1 never parked in the right place, we just learned the skill of flicking off the ignition or wiper switch when they were in the right place!

Might be worth having a look at the parking switch and/or the wires to it.I think the early Mk1's had a three pin plug on the motor itself and the later ones used a multi plug connector.With a bit of wire swapping you can change them over.I think you'll find some other fords (Cortina Capri) used the same basic motor.
