It's only clean because I wrote 'I am a 'conquering device'' on the back of it so he had to clean it off

Finally got a battery to fill up the tray as ford intended.




The Battery that came with the car. Small halfords item.



as u can see - doesnt quite fit the gap.




Managed to trace down a obsolete motorcraft flat terminal battery brand new. It just needed a slow charge overnight to get it back into shape



The battery size differance. Got a new ford battery cover too



Fitted

[jayrs]

lets hope that battery is a good one mate.

as for that battery cover, can you get hold of another? im gunna be replacing the battery on my rs fairly soon and was thinking of going bigger also.

F6152825 is the part number for the bigger cover.

Get down ford u lazy git - only a few quid

[jayrs]

you honestly dont think im gunna spend over half a hour with the dumb mother fcuker of a parts man at my local do you just for a battery tray!

anyways i will be wanting a few more bits and you just the man (with his discount) to get them for me

[knuckles]

i gave u a part number ...

how can he 'conquering device' that up !

is that a real question
mate, next time you down, i show you!

i took a list of about 12 bits in, had already called and spoke to a parts guy got all the part numbers etc (the only one that knows what his doing but rarly serves the front desk) and i was in there a hour and a half!

[HCS PIMP]

hahaha know that feelin the parts desk in leeds is superb the one in bburn leaves alot to be desired i went it as a trade customer ordered a platic dial no switch it cost them 4.90 then charged me 8.75 i was enraged im not going back soon

[GavStyli]

good work homos!

[niracka]

Looking good. I'v not seen those batt covers before. Really makes a nice difference.

[RS rob]

those battery covers are cheap as chips aswell lol,
did'nt know there was different sizes tho,
good find clark

[knuckles]

i found it amongst the sierra catalogue

Engine turns over a million times better now, Old battery must of been on last legs

[knuckles]

Another few bits purchased to make the car a much nicer place to be




2 brand new door checks
They should get rid of the horrible creaking i currently have on the doors.



Same applies with the tailgate hinges.
My current hinges are badly rusted and creek when open. These hurt the pocket a bit



New wiring retaining clips.
How ford charge £1.20 each for these is just criminal.
These make it a much neater job than dodgy cable ties

[RS rob]

check straps always make a difference on old cars,
where are the clips meant for??

[jayrs]

i paid £1.75 each for them clips mate, i walked away funny i tell you.

them door straps, i tried to get a couple when i done my rs and the parts guy told me they no longer serviced, and that was about a year ago.
mind you he is a complete nob, but still.

can they still be got? if so how much are they mate?

[knuckles]

in the engine bay. the alternator wiring is clipped in with these same clips.
They normally go brittle and break when u remove the looms.

They also clip in the front fog light and fan wiring behind the front valance.

The ones fitted between 1989 and 1991 are no longer available
But the old part number goes over to the 1992-1996 parts which are a direct replacement.

So basically mk3.5 items or nothing...
Mk4 items wont fit.

Ford charge around £13 for each door strap.

Ive just finished priming the rear tailgate hinges. Will paint them diamond white followed by lacquer tomorrow at work in a nice heated part of the workshop

[jayrs]

that prob explains why he couldnt find them, but im sure one on my car came from a early 3.5, cant say i see any difference in them so bit strange the part number changed.
prob 0.5mm thicker metal or something

[niracka]

Nice one mate. Little things like that make all the difference. It always seems to be little niggles like a creakey door that get on your titts for ages and you never get around to sorting them out.

I know how that feels I waited just over an hour at my local to be told a new air temp sensor would cost me £45 before vat
That was after I spent 10 mins explaining what an xr2i is how do they sleep at night???
Car looks sweet by the, just need to pull my finger out and get my zvh in

[jayrs]

lol, dont ever go asking for wiring clips, if you do, take a week off and pack a pillow!

[demonboy7412]

I went in a couple of weeks back for the heater relay (the small green one) and not only did it take 30 mins for them to find the part number, it took 6 days to to recieve it and my wallet was 12 quids (with trade) lighter

It's nothing like a Mk3, you need to drop the subframe. I would have thought you could get a more competitive quote than that, though
