Escort Cabriolet Club

Thats what I call Tin-Worm !!! The patching up is slow but its getting there mate, keep us posted !!! :clap:

You can still get XR3i Rear Pads as I orderd some RS2000 pads and they were on the shelf but they won't go on my set-up !!!

No mate, the Zetecs are usualy all the same fitment but ther can be a bit of fouling on the rear beam but a shorter rubber sorts that !!!

Is it a 1.6 Zetec or a CVH mate ???

KARMANN FILES FOR INSOLVENCY Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Guys and Gals but the company who built the Escort Cabriolet has gone bust, Karmann who have been making Cabriolets for FORD to MERCEDIES have now felt the Global Market Crisis in the Car industy !!!

Just have a good search on-line or on Yell.com for breakers in Scotland mate !!!

Some of the Mk4 Saloons (Orion) came with Powersteering as did some Mobility Versions !!! It has been posted on here before about using a Pegeuot 405 Rack !!! Found one link for you to look at: http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk/forum...=power+steering

I'm out of ideas mate !!!!

The 130 1.8 is much better IMO !!!

Is your Throttly Body Fully closed ??

The Black Top has less Power, go for a SILVER Top, the 2.0 Silver top is 136 BHP, the Si 1.8 Silver Top Zetec is 130 BHP !!!

ZETEC TEMP SENSOR TEST If your replacing the Temp Sensor on your ZETEC the also check out Rach's Guide below !!! :icon_salut_gb: LINK: http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk/forum...showtopic=16178 The Sensor is the Copper nut circles in the pic between the two silver pipes. When it's taken out you will lose a fair bit of water and you will need to top the tank up afterwards, please make sure you have no air-locks !!! First thing you do to remove it is disconnect the Black Plastic Connector, it justs clips on the end, once off its a matter of unscrewing. Its a bit of a fiddly job but not too difficult. To test to see if the sensor is at fault dip it in a cup of boiling hot water and then turn the ignition key to pre-start, don't start the engine, just turn the ignition lights on. The Temp Gauge will then go up, if this happens you know it works and can refit and top up the water, if not then get a replacment fitted !!! This Top Tip was brought to you by PeteUK !!! :clap:

Top Tip Pete, its going to be pinned in the Engine Problems Section, nice one !!!

Just fit them as is mate !!! :icon_salut_gb:
