Have you tried the ignition relay
-
I believe it is the IB5 gearbox you are after
-
It is in the Haynes, sure it has been posted here many times before and able to find by doing search. IIRC It was Esso UNIV or some similar name. Other alternatives are from Morris oils and Millers Oils.
It is green and a Citreon type fluid. I would not use other fluids mentioned above as they can damage some seals or encourage erosion of some internal parts.

Difficult to understand without pics.

Hi all thanks for accepting me in the group I plan on fitting a v6 220 mondeo engine into my mk3 escort anyone done this or any links etc to people who have done it thanks
Not heard anyone do that yet. Good luck, would be a lot of work and fabricating to be done.

Hi, I’ve owned my Escort Si Cabriolet in ostentatious yellow since it was a year old. Locked in the garage n pulled out in the Summer MOTD n off it goes! Just clocked 51 thousand Summer mls! The Mot Garage Mechanics comment every year, how remarkably sound it is underneath!
mk5 I guess

Hi 2 Questions,
Where can I get Original Front Windscreen Washer Jets ( heated ) for my car ? I tried cleaning and adjusting, but there still no good, do any other cars have the same type IE. Early Focus models ? Tried the usual Autodoc Etc but they do not look the same as mine. Has anyone got the OEM Nos.
And Secondly is there a site that list ALL Parts with Original Numbers with PICTURES for my car ? it is a 1997 Ford Escort Cabriolet 1.6 ( LHD ) ? like they have at the Ford Dealership when you go there ?
I live in Holland so shipping will have to be arranged but this should not be a problem
Thanks in advance
Nick
I do not know if dealers still have them, but many breakers still would. Have you tried ebay?
You can see what part numbers they are at https://ford.7zap.com/en/car/

The cabriolet would have had additional metal to make it stiffer due to the roof being removed. Although it still would not be 100% as stiff as a tin top.
-
There is a section here with roof replacement
-
Check your crankshaft position sensor out.
-
Looks nice, have not seen one in that shade of red.
-
Could it be an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser wired up

Thanks for the link. Yes I see only one has mentioned escort mk 5/6
I have 1995 si, this is the mk 6 I believe?
mk5/mk6 is virtually the same for the roof. Only when the mk6 came out the roof had different seem stitching.
Don't know what you have as mk5 ended in 1995 and mk6 started in 1995. H-K reg is mk5a, K-M reg is mk5b, mk6 M-W reg

I seen dvd on ebay, would this be it? Any links to who sells them please
There are two, but think it is the 2002 version that you need. the newer ones do not have the Escort workshop manual.

Ok cheers, is it difficult to buy the Ford TIS?
They are still available
-
Link please, that item number doesn't work
-
Just checked, nothing for mk5/6 their is for mk3/4 but definitely not any of the rubbers that people posted in the pics above
-
It isn't in the Haynes manual. It is in Ford TIS if you have a copy of it.

nothing there

To be honest, don't think it is worth it. If it were 10-20 years ago I could understand. You wouldn't find much people to do a conversion anymore, and you probably would be looking in excess of £1000k for a shop to do so.
Power gains now are nothing compared to most modern day cars. Not sure what engine you have, but a swap out for a 15 bhp gain and probably 0.5 second knocked off the 0-60mph isn't worth it imo.

Hi guys, Newbie here. I hope to bring my old non running Mk5 Xr3i (105) back from Spain next month. I'm going to need a new / recon starter motor. Can anyone recommend where I should look first. Many Thanks, in advance. Cheers Paul.aka PMPR.
Try Euro car parts or ebay
Transmission Fluid for Electric Roof no longer exists, what can I use instead?

If you check the search, there are a lot of other fluids many use. I believe they are mineral based
