Guest Carbon Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) The hood stopped opening on it's own* on our MK4 XR3i Cabriolet. Turns out one of the rams has snapped so we need to get another one. * Well, obviously not on it's own but under it's own power Where's the best place?

Guest Lee81 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Try ebay. Ones for the MK5/6 escort cabriolet are the same also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee81 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Not sure if you on about the power roof or just the gas rams to aid opening the hood. I have a pair of gas rams from when i converted to power hood. £15 plus postage if you want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carbon Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi yeah, I meant the hydraulic rams for a power hood rather than the dampers for a manual one - should have been more clear! Good to know the MK5 and MK6 ones are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carbon Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Well, Ford no longer sell them and if they did they would be £130 each! Got a complete setup of 2nd hand loom, motor, rams and pipes from eBay for a small fraction of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
