[lloyd1986]

havent got much planned for it to be fair,

im having a full respray , same colour . then just a general tidy up, had the engine looked at as i have no history at all with the car and it hadnt been on the road for 12 years.

i just like the standard look lol. what you lot think i should do keep standard or what?

[fiestarsturboblack]

is this the one with the bent lower leg? an the melted fuese box? i replied sumwer else on ea sayin if u need a fuse box iv got a spare!!! it depends [ERRR] u want to do mate, iv got 2 of thm my black one an white one, white one is track an black well tbf is far from standard both on ea lol,

[fiestarsturboblack]

ye put the pic up ea mate as i dnt really go on that lol, im from wales but live in kidderminster an work in surrey lol

[Dave G fsi]

Good work mate

[lloyd1986]

yeah this is the one with the bent lower arm mate ! shame really , but im getting one welded in soon enough!!

about the fusebox, i dont think im going to bother changing it ! thankyou for the offer for yours but i had a look tonight and looks a right mare to do ! and i aint that good with wiring !

so im going to buy a holder for the side of the box and re-locate it instead. cheers for ya offer tho matey

[fiestarsturboblack]

any time mate, so standard or [ERRR] thn?????

[lloyd1986]

not too sure at the moment , don't wanna get throwing too much money at it but i do want it looking nice .....i wanted cossy rim originally when i first got it !! but the price of them is stupid! so not going for them haha.

[fiestarsturboblack]

take a look at my black one, u may get an idea or two, its listed black show car!!!!!!!! n too many cars [ERRR] cossie rims

[jonyb4]

that looks nice good job

[lloyd1986]

just looked at your black one ! very nice mate !!!! what weheels are they? escort gti? i like em , also is it on coilovers ?

[fiestarsturboblack]

ye mate there 16 i also have a set of 15 in gloss black, n its on avo coilovers, tell u a little list if u want

[lloyd1986]

i like the idea of coilovers ! they are lowering springs on mine but they dont look that low , think i might end up getting those wheels on mine ! look a bit like the cossie ones dont they!

[fiestarsturboblack]

ye ppl often try an sell thn as cossie alloys u get thm on escort gti or mondeo!!! b worth gettin sum coilovers mate

[lloyd1986]

thinking of the coilovers ! bet theyre expensive tho . lol. gonna have a quick look on ebay for a set , im sure i saw a set of them in the scrappy but thought nothing of em , might have to pop back there


i dont want to start a new thread so maybe you would know the answer to this question, where is the tps located and can it be cleaned or do i have to replace it if im getting problems .

[fiestarsturboblack]

wer ur thottle body is ul have a little black box on the left hand side held on by two screws, u might have to take the idle control valve of for the screw to cum off, but try cleaning it with sum brake cleaner or sum wd40, it is expensive to replace, lookin bout 100 quid wen i checked the other week for my old red one

[lloyd1986]

fcuk sake , 100 quid for a sensor!! hope it just needs cleaning !!! that will do my head in if it needs changing ! cheers for that lol

[fiestarsturboblack]

y wats happning for u to thnk the tps is playing up?

[lloyd1986]

iv got it on another thread, the car dont wanna drive normally , its fine if i drive it hard , but when im just tootling around it starts kangarooing etc . someone mentioned the tps iv allready changed the coilpacks and still the same , also today at the lights while the fan was on revs went really low as if it was going to cut out but picked itself up.

hoipe it just needs cleaning

[fiestarsturboblack]

this sounds very similar to [ERRR] my red one was doin mate, in the end it started like that an thn i couldnt get her to start, n jus spendin money i didnt want to, n the tps is one of the thngs i didnt change, theres a few thngs it cud b mate,

[lloyd1986]

it aint all the while , but i just wanna get it done so its one less thing to do .ill give it a clean when im at work tomorro see if that helps. if not ill have to start spenmding money i suppose haha

[fiestarsturboblack]

best thng mate, clean the conections too,

[lloyd1986]

will post back tomrro with the outcome lol

[fiestarsturboblack]

ok mate, it cud b sumit stupid too, i thougt mine was a fueling prob but may turn out to b spark plugs, an maby the ecu, but i sold it now lol

[rsturbonutter]

Mate you can't clean the iscv once its gone its gone. You can test it with a multimetre to eliminate it but cleaning will do nothing. I am quite sure jayrs put a pic up of the resistance values the other day to let you know the kind of readings you should be getting. You can pick up the sensors for 20 30 notes off ebay but your not gauranteed as to what you are getting. Hope this helps

[jonyb4]

your talking aboput the tps,

but tbh sounds like the idle speed control valve is playing up, soak it in petrol and give it a go, if that doesnt work its probably f**cked, ebay can find you some for anything upto £60

[lloyd1986]

gonna give that a go today , also. if i take the return water feed off while the engine is running , shouldnt i have water coming through constantly? i have changed waterpump abooout 3 weeks ago, but its not overheating or anything , is this noormal ?

[fiestarsturboblack]

ok mate, urm do u mean the thin pipe from the thermostate housing to header tank???? if so thn im nt sure tbh as iv never taken it off while car is running, but my guess is that it sud, il find out!!!!

[jonyb4]

nah that tiny pipe doesnt often see use, sometimes you get small amounts of water/coolant treacle through it

ive found that odd, and the header tank arrangement, as theyr eis only 2 pipes, the main and that relief pipe you mentioned, water seems to go both ways through the bigger pipe, raising and lowering the tanks level, but if you compair to a mk4 fiesta with the Se engines, there is 3 pipes to and from the tank

[fiestarsturboblack]

thats quite bizzare so in essance it works like a swril pot in the way ur sayin!!!!!!!!

[lloyd1986]

cleaned that icsv valve thing today and guess what!!! its mint really good now , cheers for the info.

[jonyb4]

i wouldn't say swirl pot not, more like well an expansion tank lol, its used if the water in the engine gets hotter than average and the expansion due to heat has some where to go


great! glad i could help
