Hi Ian. We will be traveling down on Sunday very early and will be staying for the night in Stoney cross. We will be in the xr3i , might see you down there . Hopefully weather stays dry for us all.
Hi it seemed to be when the weather has been its hottest. The engine temp stays within normal range. Ive got a spare distributor with a new ignition module on, so will give that a go.
Cheers
Hi I have a intermittent problem with my1987 mk4 xr3i randomly cutting out at junctions or when slowing down. Its the 1.6 MFI engine. Starts fine from cold and when hot. Drives fine on motorway and smaller roads. when its about to cut out the rev counter starts dancing about, you can sometimes keep it running by pumping the throttle but get a couple of backfires, then its fine until next junction. if it does cut out leave it a minute then starts up fine. any ideas?
Cheers Stuart
Hi, was wondering where peoples temp gauge needle sits once engine has warmed up and driving? Mine sits on or at the top of the "N". Its not been a problem just bothering me as I don't remember it sitting that high. Electric fan works fine, coolant right level.
Hi, mine is an ongoing project, I went last year but was in the cmax, but fancy bringing the escort this year. do I book through the club to be on the club stand or pay on the day and still be on the stand?
Hi hoping someone could help me. Does anyone know whats the best restorer/cleaner to use on the red bumper insert? Or maybe replacement? Also same with the side body mouldings.
Many thanks
Hi I'm new to the site and have a 1987 xr3i. I'm trying to get a definite id on the paint colour. It's grey and has a code of what looks like QA7. Would anyone be able to help?
Many thanks Stuart
