Im re fitting a mk 4 efi fuel filter and the pipe has split near the ring nut banjo thing, how do i easily slide the pipe back on when ive cut it ??

ill take that one apart then and see if its corroded, strange tho how they swapped the colours around import or not i thought they would all have the same loom etc

J reg green holder also has no relay present could that be the fuel pump relay holder??

Hi all i own two mk 4 efi's one is a G reg 1989 and one is a J reg 1991 the problem i have is is that the relay colours are different so which one is the fuel relay on the J reg ???? Left to right - all holders visible and match relays G reg Yellow - Purple - Green - Red - Blue J reg Green - Yellow - Blue - Red - Grey as for the grey relay holder i cant see it as my torch i dead Any ideas??? im trying to refit or get the efi fuel pump to work as someone has bodged on a cavalier external fuel pump as they said the internal one packed in

Trying to get hold of a super chip but as we know they are like rocking horse ***t to find so i did a little research and found super chips for sale in the USA, and they fit a certain 1.6 or 1.9 (unsure which) CVH EFI american escort GT model, Anyone know if they would have the same ECU as our 1.6 EFI's http://www.streetperformance.com/part/superchips/computer-chip-module-upgrade/555118-1100.html this is the chip it lists the FORD ESCORT GT/GLS etc in the auto fitment list http://wikicars.org/en/Ford_Escort_(North_America) Ford escort GT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_(North_America)#Engines_2 Engine info on north american escort cvh's etc So do any of you reckon the chip should fit if its for a American 1.6 CVH EFI and what if its for the 1.9 version will it fit then ?? Might email them methinks

ive got a j plate so does that make mine 91 spec lol

I have always wondered what that was for too, bit strange why they riveted them on though.

Could be soloinoid, have you tried banging it with a hammer sometimes that unsticks them

I agree, can't wait for some sun

Ha ha a new post of a girl and how many replies lmfao take it she's a gwactwwltf lol

Lol I'm OK with it as it is, its the wife who wants power steering, someone should buy one see how its done and then make em themselves now there's a idea and obv cheap for club members. Can't be too hard can it? And yeh I'd love feedback too off someone who has had it done. Shame them mk4 escort disability car power steering systems are rare and hard to get hold of

Anyone know of a cheap mk4 escort LPG kit pref new for under £300 and has anyone got one fitted? Do they make any difference on acceleration etc ?

Any one got plans on how to put elec power steering on the rack like they sell for silly money on eBay ?

They just wouldn't be the same without a little leak here n there especially for their age

All I've got is a scorpion ss straight through' a k & n induction kit, decent plugs n leads and it goes well very thirsty tho compared to standard

That's the one lol plus I'd have to insure the head unit instead of the car ha ha

I'd like summat with a burr brown 24bit DAC, there's a f1 alpine on eBay he wants over a grand for it' I could use my c card but my wife would.d smash it over my head lol

Nice

7939r had one of them years ago when they were 500£, legendary head unit seen one for sale a while ago and was very tempted. Might get one of the newer ones tho with the imprint gadgetry as for 6x9s in the rear they were already there and my spare rear plastics are no good either . I high actually make a fibre glass pod for the foot well and do away with the crappy standard pods at least then I can give the speakers a bit of direction

That's exactly what I'm thinking lol' although I've got a family outing to haven due and I'm sure its the same day hmmm need to find out methinks

I'd def keep the oz wheels the Mondeo alloys look nice but are too common

6x9,s in the boot now thats new. I'm going for sound quality more than bass all tho I don't mind low end car shaking bass I'm thinking infinity/kef or mb quarts in the front and a small JL audio sub all running of a 3\5 channel sound stream/genesis/alpine amp etc if I can find them cheap

Anyone got a decent set up and if so what speakers/amp etc are you using? Thinking about buying one of the ///Alpine imprint head units with the imprint box and mic' they any good?? Obviously acoustically a material roof isn't too good for sound quality.
