i'll buy one if u spray it white

[jayrs]

we talked about this didnt we

[~nomad~]

knuckles - how much do ford charge the window caps? cheeRS

£1.10 each fella

by the way the orange bonnet pull became Obsolete today so once they have gone they are gone !

does it matter thou? millions of those out there, and they dont break often really! i need a set of those window caps, but i am going to get the alloy machined ones i think.

[rsonblackwheels]

mmmmmm nice new ford bits

i fort the temp senders for Fiesta RS Turbos where blue ones, i could be wrong thow. i'v had a yellow and a green so far that don't seem to work

looks like your gunna be busie dude

[knuckles]

little update. havent done much myself. I Let the ford guys loose on it !



Got the leaky drive shaft oil seal sorted.



i asked them to replace my rear beam main bushes. They didnt have the tool to do it ... i Was told i had to buy the tool myself for £65 for them to do it
So i had my broken anti roll bar clamps and bushes replaced. Then was told my rear shocks have seen better days.





they had no fluid left in them

Next day these turned up from the factory






Now these have been fitted its like a new car once more. Back end no longer jumps out around sharp corners and speed bumps are not a problem anymore. Rs sits a little higher now.

Engine is still going strong despite knocking its socks of every morning from cold.
My next move hopefully will be to get a cvh head reconditioned from cylinder head developments and then get the rebuilt engine in asap.

thats an unusually clean fords workshop mate,
compared to our place which is stinking compared to yours,

handy working in fords with the discount though is'nt it!!
i know the mk3 fiesta slide's off by heart now lol

good to see you've still got faith in the car,
what were the front shocks like if the rears were that bad??

[knuckles]

The front shocks are koni adjustables which are perfectly fine. The rears were fitted to replace the horrible coilovers i used to have on there. Didnt realise how bad they were back when i fitted them

It is handy working at fords but even with the discount i still get stung in my pocket !

The rear shocks were very cheap but the labour to fit them wasnt

[knuckles]

i know the mk3 fiesta slide's off by heart now lol

have you heard that microcat is being ditched for Ecat ?
its sad news in my opinion

[Max M4X WW]

Looking good mate, You don't really need a tool to do the bushes though. Well I didn't for the ZS beam but it was off the car!

[knuckles]

Almost forgot about this ....

had a parcel turn up last week







3 down one to go

[Max M4X WW]

That the one I showed you? You got the other two with the set you bought yea? Looks great!

[knuckles]

yea thats the one on ebay. i still got the two up front. Just need one more to have 4.

[Max M4X WW]

Good luck in finding one! They are not much use to anyone else, Unless they have 4!

[RS_Rawli]

i had a few of those wheels and scrapped them all.... never realised they were owt spech

[Tweek]

You have?!?!

Jesus they are well behind then!!

Knuckles, Cant believe you got brand new shocks

You get Ricky to do it all?

Thinking about that rear beam, fancy halves?

Think I will get mine done!

I'll be giving you a bell next week hopefully to get in all me bits

[rob pace]

how much were the rear struts?

[knuckles]

Yea, had 3 at one point as i remember, whats craic with them?

They are Rs turbo prototype alloy wheels. The first batch had the dimples. But to make wheels cheaper to make they left out the dimples when the car was released.

With the discount it would be rude not to get brand new ones. Gmax or koni would of set me back more money. At least with the ford stuff i get warranty with them too

Nah ricky didnt do it. he was too busy. I could of done it myself but i just couldnt be bothered tbh
rear beam fancy halves ???

how much were the rear struts?

well i wont tell ya what i paid but they were £38 each before vat

[jayrs]

nice to see it coming on mate.

[Ghost]

The tool ya plum

[knuckles]

The tool ya plum

ah i see.

could go halfs on the tool. But from what ive heard the beam needs to be dropped down on the front to do it.

sounds like alot of effort in this cold weather

[jayrs]

pussy! get out there in the cold and wet laid on your back on your garage mate and get on with it

[niracka]

Yea man I'v got to fit my new suspension this coming week. I'm a pussy when it comes to the cold so if I can get out there then anyone can

Ollie

[jayrs]

im a refrigeration engineer and work in friges and freezers (cold rooms not home ones) at -20 so get out there.

and as for the tool, wtf you on about? when you phoned me last week and said what you wanted to do i told you how to do it without the tool

[niracka]

could go halfs on the tool's ferry costs from IOW. But from what ive heard the beam needs to be dropped down on the front to do it.

damn man, bad day?

i have ford galaxy and need plastic bit...

[knuckles]

Ollie

it drives me to and from work
that's about it for a update.

still ain't got the cash together to get the head refurbished at cylinder head developments. Once it is done though my rebuilt lump will be going in.

i have acquired a 195 ofab chip and beiges injectors as a swap for my T2, but im in two minds whether to fit them to my daily commuting car. i do £25 a week in fuel as it is.
