  1. EEC-IV Fault code reader Any good, which is the best one to get? Paul
  2. Sump back on, glued and sealed. Not sure if its cured yet was waiting 24 hours for the sikaflex to go off before filling with oil. Will test tonight. Cars booked in with Motorsport Developments in Balckpool on tuesday to be finished off. Touch wood all will be ok Paul
  3. Sump off and it looks like the gasket, traces of oil both sides in a few places, so hopefully some sikaflex will stop it
  4. looks like its coming from the sump and running around and dripping down by the bottom pully. Will drop it off in the week and change it. Will try the superglue trick mate i have read this somewhere before. Are genuine ford gaskets any better than patten ones for this? Paul
  5. Not all good, the leak looks like its from the gasket, so needs to be replaced. Another little job
  6. All the bolts on the sump were a little loose so i have cranked them up to FT. Going to give it another run in a while. When they rebuilt the engine they put on the sump and gasket so didnt even think it would not be ok lol.
  7. It passed lol, just taxed it aswell. Took for a run and its dropped a little oil from the sump area timing belt side. Any ideas? Paul
  8. Ok brakes bleed, still feel a little spongy but may need beeding in. Mot today so will let you know how it goes. Paul
  9. No all pumps are in the boot
  10. Ok hoses arrived and fitted, just need a hand to bleed the brakes and all should be good. Paul
  11. I was hoping today but not arrived maybe tommorow Paul
  12. If its the front ones they will need replacing, only the rear one will tighten with the hub nut
  13. Just a quick update, Changed the cross over and added a AS manifold heat shield. Just waiting for brakes hoses to arrive and then off to MOT centre

  19. Just ordered some goodridge hoses for the front so should have some brakes in a week or so
  20. Ok guys sorry for the total lack of updates but have been very busy at work and with the club. But have still been working on the car. Well it started off has a winter project but its now May but hopefully the end is in sight, I hope so because no got no more money to spend on it. Anyway heres a quick update. Airtec Radiator, Intercooler, Turbo cooler in place. Had to cut the bumper out a little for the twin fans Rest of engine built up with some shinny bits Just awaiting a polished Fiesta turbo cross over and i can get rid of the bodge pipework to the Idle control valve, A full Magnex exhaust as been fitted. I started the car up a few weeks back and it starts first click every time so all good. The only thing left to do is to fit some new braided hoses to these Sierra 4x4 calipers that i have fitted together with Sierra 2 wheel drive EBC discs. Fill with fluid and bleed the buggers. The calipers have been refurbed by Big Red Brakes Any way i will update you soon!!!! Paul
