I have a complete XR3i engine and gear that I have had in dry storage for around 10 years. It had about 43.000 miles on it when I removed from my 1989 cabriolet, it is an M.F.I I have lost the dry storage so it needs to be moved A.S.A.P. I only want a nominal amount for it, I would hate for it to be scrapped. It is strapped to a pallet and I can fork lift it into a van or onto a trailer. The engine is located in a unit just off the M4 at Membury. Time is of an essence. Thanks.

E 187cabi, I can't message you but I need to talk to you regarding the 2 into 1 front pipe you have.

Thanks for replying. I'm a welder fabricator so joining it isn't an issue, I have the joining piece made already. The good thing is that I now know that when it goes up on the ramp I won't be wasting time trying to fit it. Thanks again

I have been given a MFI exhaust system for my cabriolet, trouble is mine is an EFI. I can see that the front pipe is different but is any of it interchangeable. Thanks.

This is the part I need. Photo courtesy of All Blue.

Does anyone have the cassette holder for a mk 4 escort. The one I need fits below the graphic equaliser, it is quite slim and has a central divider. Thanks.

Sorry mine is not for sale and I know 8000.00 is a lot of money but a low mileage minter is getting very rare.

I will try and source one. I'm toying with going to the simply ford show in a couple of weeks, I presume there will be an autojumble. Is there any chance of getting the serial number off of your graphic equaliser so I make sure I get the correct one.

Thanks for the pic all blue. I can see now that my amp housing is the same as your graphic. I just need the graphic equaliser and cassette dividers. I took a bit of a punt paying £60.00 inc postage but I'm well chuffed. Older and wiser, that's a good call, I will see what my local Ford dealer can do for me, I've just acquired my new Focus from them so they may look out a bit of info for me.

Thanks for the info.. I will keep an eye out for the graphic but in the meantime I can at least fit the head unit into the car with or without the amp. I won't use the radio cassette which is in lovely condition . The cigarette lighter that is still in the consul has never been used so the head unit isn't sticky with tar. It is nice to have the right gear fitted. The car is totally original now Thanks again.

Yes, I have got the keycode.

I don,t have all the wiring, it has been cut off about 150mm from the back of the radio cassette. I do have the loom to connect the amp to the radio cassette. I think you are saying that if you have the graphic equaliser you don't need the amp. My car has a Pioneer radio cassette with it's amp mounted on the floor behind the centre consul, maybe I will have to set the 2007 the same. My brother is an electrician, I will break the loom news to him but I think he will sort it out. I would still like to see how the 2007 was fitted in the cabriolet, I have the all blue brochure but it does not show it very clear. Thanks for the reply.

I have bought a fd 2007 radio cassette player with amp for my all blue from ebay, I just need the graphic equaliser to complete it. I know that the 2007 was an extra on the all blue back in 1990. The guy sent me a surround with the amp in it and there is a slot where I think the graphic equaliser should fit. Could some kind person send me some pics of their 2007 set -up so that I can fit it as it should be. I also need the graphic equaliser if someone has one. Thanks in advance

Looks spot on, it,s so nice when the roof runs level with the top of the window. Where is your rear spoiler.?

I,ve had two blue roofs fitted in the past by tophoods in london, the guy does a great job but the all blue roof is'nt blue. It should be almost the colour of the seats, sort of greyish blue. I will keep the original roof until I can find the correct one or this one starts to tear and leak.

She goes out all year really as long as it's dry. I do have limited mileage insurance, 1500 miles a year. When I take it out during the winter months I leave the roof up as it has it's the original roof and I would be gutted if it cracked. I have never been able to find a cover in this colour which I think was only fitted to the All Blue, if anyone knows of one please let me know. I am spending a few bob on her this year, having the underneath stripped and re-undersealed, the wheels chemically stripped and powdercoated and the rear bodykit arches resprayed, the laquer has a few bubbles in it. She will then have a deep polish. None of this really needs doing but it should keep her looking great for another 22 yrs.

This is my all blue which I have owned for about 6 years. She has nearly 61,000 miles on the clock and is totally standard.

I have an "all blue", totally standard except radio, 60,000 genuine miles. Going for a deep shine polish at the bodyshop soon.

Does anyone know where I can get the correct battery for my all blue. Even motorcraft can only supply one with round terminals. I know it's a bit anal but the car is totally standard and I want to keep it that way. Thanks in advance.
