  1. Alternator should be on its way will fit it as soon as I can and the heat shield hasn't done anything for the started getting hot
  2. Agree with the RS2000 lump nice power no lag , A turbo is a pain in the arse to be messing with, Wheels look nice, the hood looks like it needs the cable redoing on the side as its popped out from the runner. And welcome to the site.
  3. Good to see it you still going along with it.
  4. Cab broke down lost all its water and overheated, Got it home after getting some help :sad:

  5. 75amp alternator found but insurance first But that should get something sorted out with charging and draining of battery I hope then the last problem will be the clutch once that's done I can officially say it will be reliable
  6. Go to the Club Membership then Club Membership and Events then scroll down on the left click the Edit my details can do it there.
  7. Pfft mines gonna be out in the cold for its second year since owning it it has enough underseal for two cabs lol :D
  8. Well fitted a heat shield blanket to my starter and it may have cured the hot starter problem but it's only been one day so far still plenty of time to go wrong yet. Clutch problem hasn't gone away doubt it ever will think I need a new car this ones ****ed.
  9. Will wash the cab today it's looking a bit dirty since ford fair.

  10. Nice thanks for the info I have a positve loom from a mk5 escort with the bus bar already to fit so might change it over with a bigger battery as my charge can bearly do 12v with my headlights on and with my stereo on it goes into a discharge all the time which isn't cool
  11. Well i have already rewired the wiring to the alternator as the last one was a mess and not safe at all so I should be able to fit it hopefully then now just need to get one
  12. I have been after a higher output alternator for a while now as mine isn't doing well with all the extra electrical stuff on it now at night I can only have my lights on and no stereo as it drains the system too quick for the alternator to keep up with. So I been reading that a Granada 90amp will fit perfect but as far as I can see it is a bolt type not push on terminals so was wondering how to convert to this is it a case of just changing the connection ends on my wiring? Or does it need to be wired differently?
  13. MK'3 and 4's are awesome you know it makes sense *Warning ownership of said cabs may damage you mentally*
  14. Ahh just like old times Good luck with the "small" job there :D
  15. Cool will be good to see it fitted and have another cab wide as they come.
  16. Yeah cab will be staying everything is sorted and no need for me to cry
  17. Yeah got the hose, still haven't give me a price dammit I do hope that everything my end sorts itself out and the cab can stay, I just don't know yet
  18. I might have no choice but to sell it, Will find out by Monday I think
