[S2 Rs Turbo K And N]

Dont bother..

 

Your best bet is to stick a kn pannel filter into the air box itself.. adding a cone filter can cause allsorts of hicups and with the heat soak actualy losses power

[Indacators & Brake Lights]

sounds to me like poss, disco rear lights water creeps in from around the boot shut n corrodes the earths on the back lights, check all screws are tight n give em n run a wire brush over to loosen any build up

[Hmmmmmm.]

My escort has just started making a clicking noise which comes from the steering column. It can be felt through the steering column. It sounds like the noise that the indicator makes when on. It is intermittent and is not frequent. Sometimes it's just the odd click and sometimes it goes into overdrive!!! Can any one help??

 

Well guessing by what you've said about it sounding like the indiactor tick..my guess is a stuck indicator switch.. a very simple sort, just remove the steering cowlling to gain access to the switch/stork and either give it a good clean with summat like whitespirit/ nailpolish remover to remove all the gunk that gets stuck in there. or if its really bad fit a new stork..there cheap as chips and only tkae 5 mins to swop..

[Mystery Fixing Studs ?]

these are to clip all car cover onto so the roof can be left down..it clips over the same studs as the hood cover and comes over..there quiet hard to come by as they were an expenses opional extra at the time

[Oily Engine Block]

I carnt seeing being oil from the head gasket, if it had got to that stage theb you would have noticed some issues whilst driving.

 

first thing id suggest is getting the old oil off so you've a clean block..you can pick a degreaser for a quid, then start with the basics..go for a run and when your back check for any fresh stains

 

check around the disstributer and gearbox for any flows as this could highlight the dizzy O ring seal has gone, then have check around the cam cover side..take it off n check for any build up underneath it...if its gundged up that end it may mean ya cam shaft oil seals gone

 

both are easy pound fixes by just repalcing the O rings on either side

 

hope that gives ya some ideas..theres very little else other than just to check the connections n conditions of breather pipes as oil can travel a fair way when its under pressure

[Badgers Zetec Conversion]

cab looks grand..nice to see another ghia still going..

 

dunno if ya intrested but ive a pair of ghia door cards in the loft im never gonna use if ya looking?

[Brake Lights Not Working?]

check the brake light switch..this sits just behind the brake peddle n opperates like a plunger(when prddle goes down it pushes the switch let off switch retracts)..these are notorius for snapping as there made from cheap plastic.

You know I've always been around in the background.

 

Still got the Sierra(s). The runaround 2000e has now had its full restoration and the 4be of mine is now retired from the show circuit except for extreme circumstances.

 

I actually did more miles in the cab last year than I had in the previous 2 years :wow:

 

I think in 2007 I only pulled it out of the garage 7 times, and 5 of them were to get things out from behind it

 

Ask nicely and I may even help out with the advice again

 

Well i may doing a complete opersite of you.

 

My cab days are soon to be over, once its sold that is....been offered a very nice sierra for peanuts so just maybe the advice i need will be on a yet a subject lol
