    Have you tried the ignition relay
  2. Vincygav
    I believe it is the IB5 gearbox you are after
  3. Vincygav
    It is in the Haynes, sure it has been posted here many times before and able to find by doing search. IIRC It was Esso UNIV or some similar name. Other alternatives are from Morris oils and Millers Oils. It is green and a Citreon type fluid. I would not use other fluids mentioned above as they can damage some seals or encourage erosion of some internal parts.

    Difficult to understand without pics.

    Around 3 hours

    Not heard anyone do that yet. Good luck, would be a lot of work and fabricating to be done.
  7. Vincygav
    mk5 I guess
  8. Vincygav
    I do not know if dealers still have them, but many breakers still would. Have you tried ebay? You can see what part numbers they are at https://ford.7zap.com/en/car/

    The cabriolet would have had additional metal to make it stiffer due to the roof being removed. Although it still would not be 100% as stiff as a tin top.
  10. Vincygav
    There is a section here with roof replacement
  11. Vincygav
    Check your crankshaft position sensor out.

    Looks nice, have not seen one in that shade of red.
  13. Vincygav
    Could it be an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser wired up
  14. Vincygav
    mk5/mk6 is virtually the same for the roof. Only when the mk6 came out the roof had different seem stitching. Don't know what you have as mk5 ended in 1995 and mk6 started in 1995. H-K reg is mk5a, K-M reg is mk5b, mk6 M-W reg

    There are two, but think it is the 2002 version that you need. the newer ones do not have the Escort workshop manual. 2004 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BEST-Ford-Service-Repair-Mechanic-Shop-TIS-OEM-Manual-2004-DVD-Escort-Ka-Mondeo/293131866964?hash=item4440055354:g:5RYAAOSwN2ZdER8z 2003 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WORKSHOP-MANUAL-FORD-TIS-07-2003-TECHNICAL-INFORMATION-SYSTEM-STREETKA-MAVERICK/392807697917?hash=item5b7529cdfd:g:wf8AAOSwnFleqxQe

    They are still available
  17. Vincygav
    Just checked, nothing for mk5/6 their is for mk3/4 but definitely not any of the rubbers that people posted in the pics above
  18. Vincygav
    It isn't in the Haynes manual. It is in Ford TIS if you have a copy of it.
  19. Vincygav
    Hmmm, I didn't realise they did them. I would check it out

    To be honest, don't think it is worth it. If it were 10-20 years ago I could understand. You wouldn't find much people to do a conversion anymore, and you probably would be looking in excess of £1000k for a shop to do so. Power gains now are nothing compared to most modern day cars. Not sure what engine you have, but a swap out for a 15 bhp gain and probably 0.5 second knocked off the 0-60mph isn't worth it imo.

    Try Euro car parts or ebay

    If you saw Top Gear this evening. Had a Ford Escort 1.6 mk6 calypso cabriolet featured. Paddy Mc Guinness drove it. He seems a fan of Escorts. Registration is P446 JOR ✓ Taxed Tax due: 1 January 2021 This vehicle is showing as INSURED on the Motor Insurance Database today Colour Red Fuel type Petrol Date registered 1 August 1996 MOT valid until 30 April 2020

    The fuel tanks you can get them new aftermarket on ebay or bodywork shops. The fuel tank sender unit is a bit more harder to come by new. It would be used on ebay or breakers. The 1.4, 1.6. 1.8, 2.0 EFI all used the same pump IIRC. Just make sure that it isn't the mk6 as many of them didn't have the push fit connectors on the pump IIRC and you would have to change them.

    Mk6 sills

    Vincygav replied to a topic in Discussion & Chat

    Cabriolet sills are deeper due to needing to be thicker to strengthen the bodyshell due to lack of roof.
