Ive got plenty on driveshafts mate if you wanna bring a hub round you can try them in it. Mostly from 1.6 and 1.8 cvh and zetecs. Drop me a PM if you want to discuss

[heeman10]

You can have my diesel driveshafts if you want Max. I ran mine on them. FOC.

[Max M4X WW]

Its the gearbox end im not sure about, Hubs are just standard 3.5 items.

They would be great James but I'm not about to collect and postage is grief/pricey.

They original ones or been replaced at some point?

Cheers

[random_dav]

me too, why use mondeo when the firsta already comes with a zetec engine, so all the gear is avaliable

I was saying in jest, taking thr piss out of chop shop...

[jonyb4]

'this engine was never ment to go in a small car like this, its not gonna fit!'

lol yea right..

[jonyb4]

lol yea but would you go over 100 in that!

Update!

Haven't really done anything..

Split the gearbox, changed the shim from a cvh one to zetec.
Fitted PAS rack with correct brackets and bolts.
Spent another couple of hundred quid at Ford (thanks Clark for the discount!)

Acquired some Si 16v drive shafts and a front engine mount which has been sent to vibra-technics. Then I need to try and fit it!

Also trying to get another ofab engine loom which is a bit tidier!

i've been thinking about that new front vibratechnic mount,
seems a bit silly not to have the rear mount available as its the main mount for the block
if they did the rear mount i'd have all four off them,
but until then i'll stick to the uprated gearbox mounts,

why did you send it away to them? not got access to a press?

oh a pm is on its way lol

[Max M4X WW]

I just thought it would be a help for the rear mount, as im using a CVH one as my shell isn't a zetec shell and I wasnt aware the 'cup' on the car was different when it was in the bodyshop!

Sending it to them as its what they say to do on thier site, thought they'd have more experience doing them as well.

[RS rob]

i had the same thoughts at first, but i'm a bit unsure now,
might look into sending them my old zetec rear mount see if they can do something?!

[Max M4X WW]

why did you send it away to them?

In response to this, I got the mount back today and they have blasted and powdercoated it in satin black for me

I will ask them about the rear mount I guess! Unless you want to.

[leighk2010]

bump to this lol any updates mate?

[Sphinx]

I forgot some of the replies in this thread. Oh the banter was good in the old days
Max, has this been put on the backburner since driving around in the 540i? I wouldn't blame you if it has

[Smo]

Max, get some pics up of the front mount of how it is now

[Max M4X WW]

Urrrm, its in the shed?

[hb69]

Target for completion next fitp?

[Max M4X WW]

Supposedly, would like to get to central day as its the first show but will see

did you ever ask them about the rear mount max?

[Max M4X WW]

nah, can you?

[jonyb4]

whats the news with this then max?

its been a while

[Max M4X WW]

Well I removed the fuel tank, because I need to swap the pump and change the car loom - and on the Mk3.5 it didn't look like you could unplug the fuel pump from inside the car due to the smaller hole in the floor.

The new, Non PATS loom..


What is this wire that's been cut? near fuel cut off switch.. (brown/whiteblack wires are side repeater/door switch)




This loom had a simple immobiliser on it, connected here (presume just re attach red/black cables) and to the ignition switch so I'll use my non messed with switch...


Above chopped wires connect to this relay..


FRST tank and cossie pump, my tank and small pump...






Does this look OK?!


Not the biggest update I know, but I'm trying!

[Excursion]

LOL nice wiring. I would redo that with thicker gauge wire for the pump feed.

That additional connector is the side repeater.

[Max M4X WW]

Does it look that bad? The wiring on the pump plug on the loom isn't any thicker I don't think (mk3.5 loom has 4 thick wires and mk3 loom has two thick and two thin)

The pics of the loom have two single terminals (side rep, door ajar) and the tiny wire that's been cut off - what's that

[jayrs]

prob the earth thats been chopped as who ever removed it couldnt be bothered to undo the screw to the body, or couldnt undo it.
its a brown wire thats been cut?

[Max M4X WW]

I removed it

I think its brown/black, will check tomorrow.

[jayrs]

im sure thats a earth mate, why did you cut it? was it cos you couldnt remove it?

[Excursion]

That small brown wire is side repeater earth

[Max M4X WW]

Strange, should be able to use the one from my car then if its not integral to the loom.

[knuckles]

Does this look OK?!

do away with the black box on the sender unit.
this burnt out on my rs turbo which caused the multiplug to melt .

[Max M4X WW]

What is it? I didn't really pay much attention but it didn't look very connected. I think there was a loose multi plug thing also?! My 1.3 pump doesn't have the box.

[jayrs]

its the fuel pump surpressor, when these play up you can get problems, or they just stop working and your pump wont run

[knuckles]

some sort of box that stops interferance with pump and guage.

was told by ford technician they better off in bin. causes more harm than good. Like the gold throttle dampner which ends up leaking all your fuel pressure into the tank

[Max M4X WW]

Will have a look at it tomorrow, Cheers.

Otherwise does it look like an 'Uprated Escort Cosworth fuel pump' like it should be?
