[Escort MK5 cabriolet relay information needed please]

 Here’s one image of the relays I am talking about. Note some green ones and behind the green one at the bottom there’s a yellow one. There’s a empty relay socket with red, blue, brown and black wires coming from it. There’s two black wires coming from the centre of it.

I’m after some advice please. There are several relays located beneath the kick panel in the driver side foot well and I am curious to know what they might be please. The Haynes manual doesn’t show anything on these at all. There is a couple of green ones and a yellow one plus a relay socket that is wired up for something but has no relay in it. 
I’m trying to troubleshoot why my remote central locking isn’t working on unlock yet is working on lock. I have an after market Clifford concept 650 alarm installed. 
Main thing I want to know in all honesty is should these relays actually be there as well. I can’t find another MK5a cabbie to look at. The fuel inertia switch is in this location too so don’t want to upset that really.

many thanks for your help

[Mk5 Locking Wheel Nut Removal Problem]

i share your pain

i have had major issues with removing wheel nuts n my mk6 .. i have tried everything apart from the welding trick i am gonna end up cutting the wheels off and replacing front hubs

both front wheels are the issue and not just the locking wheel nuts . not sure if its cheap wheelnuts are the problem as three on one side have rounded off and one on the other

good luck

Poor us

 

However after much googling and asking around (plus the face you cant weld to alloy studs) Im still stuck as to what to do. If your wheelnuts are just standard then you might get away with a stud/bolt remover kit.

 

Im looking at the bigger dilemma of getting a cold chisel and heavy hammer and having a good time trying to break them off like that but obviously im also trying to avoid that because I don't want to damage the studs. there seems to be more availability for the Mk6 then the old Mk5a

I hope this can be be of use to others.

[Mk5 Locking Wheel Nut Removal Problem]

I cant weld unfortunately. I need something simple that will get it off. I also dont really want to ruin the wheel itself.

[Mk5 Locking Wheel Nut Removal Problem]

hi

 

I have a problem with my MK5 locking wheel nut. I have the key but I cannot get the nut to move and it appears to have broken away around the edge where the key would go.

 

I have tried 2 different types of locking wheel nut remover (spline and reverse thread type) but neither have worked. What I need is a simple method to remove this problematic nut. theres not a great deal of space between the nut and the alloy wheel which made it more difficult to get anything into. Please can anyone help?

 

There is an attached picture of the nut although this is a good nut. My one seems to have broken away in the groove where the key goes.

 

thankyou
