Efi so it’s a late mk4, I would try the coil pack first, and leads onto spark plugs, perhaps take a spark plug out and check condition. Also worth checking small hoses aroumd throttle body for bad fitting or leaks.

What engine you got is it cvh 84-90 or later Zetec 91-98
-
You can wind the T Bar shaped key on the end of the pump in your boot clockwise I think, then the roof is manual.
-
Try burton power , they are in east London but have a website to order from, if not try a company called P I My lowered ones come from there.

I think it is going to be a season of change with most of our normal shows either being replaced with venue or finished altogether ( I.e battlesbridge) hope we can get some show dates up very soon.

Hope to get some work started on the mk4 xr3i cab soon, got most bits stripped but not got the angle grinder/cutter on it yet. -
Welcome to the cab club, look forward to seeing pictures of your cabby.

Had the same on my mk5 when i got it. If its vinyl i think it may have shrunk, mine did. I tried everything but ended up buying a complete second hand roof for £120 in the end. (mohair this time)

One of our members around Newcastle area breaks them, his name on here is maido his name is Dwayne .

This is no longer a cheap upgrade, second parts have gone through the roof. Second hand fiesta engines start at approx four hundred pounds,most will need a rebuild, pistons alone cost £500 -£1,000.00 . A recent rebuilt engine sold for £1,800.00 , a turbo will cost £500.00 engine management is expensive to. Sorry to sound defeatist but this now the norm. A cheaper upgrade may be fit a two litre Zetec from a mondeo am sure you can buy a new crated engine for £1,000.00 ish and will give you 150 bhp if mated to good exhaust and induction kit and no need to run a turbo.

Welcome to to cab club, nice looking car, put some more pictures on.
-
Will post some pics when we get the welder out
-
Looks like the one I just bought, starting striping mine to,got bad rust behind them side skirts
-
Put some pictures on m8.
-
No,don’t see them to often, may have to buy a cheap second bumper and remove the trim, it’s not easy to get them out and put them in spot on either. Good luck
-
Thats not a mk4 in the picture its a mk5a or a mk6 , mk4 is from 1986-1990 trims are totally differant. If its a mk4 86-90 rear black trim you want a guy on ebay sells them.

What year ?
-
Nice, always look good in red.

The inlet manifold bolted on the back of the engine shows Efi stamped in big letters on the front, and also mfi will have a distributor cap on the right hand side of the engine, efi has a coil pack instead. Have you got a Haynes mk4 manual ,it’s like a bible for cars and shows you lots of close ups of parts, well worth buying one. We alll had to start somewhere as you are doing now.
-
Am surprised, all tennis cars I have seen are mfi, they seem to be registered between July and December 1989
-
Have you asked at a parts dept in ford dealers ?
-
Check all hoses around throttle body for leaks or tears
