  12. Just ordered some goodridge hoses for the front so should have some brakes in a week or so
  13. 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

    Roof Cover

    The MK3 and MK4 are the same covers
  20. Can some one tell me where all the earth points are on a MK4 CVH engine bay?
  21. Ok, went back to this problem. If i put a piece of wire between housing and good earth battery light comes on. This would indicate the alternater is not earthed very good to the body and after several start ups of the car the battery is dead so would also indicate that it requires a earth to charge the battery. Would i be right?? It appears that the alternator gets its -ve from teh bracket bolted onto the engine block? or does it have a seperate earth wire? I think the problem is the bracket and heat sheild are powder coated and i think this is the problem. Can i take a -ve from the alternator directly to the body if so what guage wire? Paul
  22. Your the man, you might want to pin it egg
  23. all efi are in the tank mfi bolted underneath
