1) I've got mk4 dials
2) I think you may be able to get a rpm feed from alternator, any time i go through a puddle and mine get wet, it squeeks, and the rpm goes to zero, maybe worth looking into

by **Ghost** on Tue Jun 27, 2006 4:55 pm

no, ive got mk4 dials mate, they are the ones im am using.........im just borrowing the addapter made by Fiestaguides.com creator andy untill i get my own done or knuckles wants it back.

i prefer the black ones, a little more factory and i dont really like white dials tbh.

Rich, still waiting to get to the scrappy and get some prices for them as ive got to include driving costs to get to yours

oh, and that maybe an idea....ill have a little look, see if i can research anything about that way of doing things

nice one ghost good to hear it... would have been a shame to have sold her soo soon!

by **Ghost** on Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:47 pm

Yes its on the fooking road, thank fook!!!

cost me all of £99

all that cash off because i got the body type changed!! madness :rolleyes:

anywho, first things first. There is something wrong with the front drivers suspension....everytime i go over a speed bump it goes 'clonk' other side doesnt and this is not with any sort of speed, so somethings up there :rolleyes:

and ive got a squeeky wheel, bearing? :cry:

oh and i cant find a place to get it tracked, looks like im going to have to get out the yellow pages :devil:

by **Superal** on Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:56 pm

get it tracked at the pro tyre place on the A10 before the ford garage?

Good to hear its on the road

by **XRMike** on Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:58 pm

Well done mate,really happy for you

by **Ghost** on Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:59 pm

price?

by **Superal** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 8:09 am

Not sure...previous owner of the frst used them so I will shuffle through my millions of receipts and see if I can get a price for you :lol:

by **dave_p** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:13 am

glad to hear its on the road, i have the same problem with my suspension going over speed bumps and also when im braking/stopping at lights and when i set off from lights

all it is is the top nut on the suspension needs tightening a bit more could even be the one that sits just above the spring.

i would fix mine but can't because i have snapped the metal where the allen key sits in :lol:

hope it helps

by **sleeky** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:13 am

Yeah go to protyre they have decent equipment for doing it

Glad to hear its on the road at last!

Lee.

by **Ghost** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:11 pm

cheers guys, ill go protyre ten

hope they aint gonna rape me

going to get a few bits to go with the suspension and check make sure its seated properly and then get it tracked

does run alrite i think

more power :devil:

by **heeman10** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:18 pm

Let's see some engine bay pics then!

by **Ghost** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:23 pm

its not a TD yet

no need for engine bay pics

by **heeman10** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:31 pm

Ohhhh, wasn't sure quite how much I'd missed in my week without the net! Come on then!!!

by **Ghost** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:33 pm

gotta get a couple of bits powder coated with next months pay and a few gaskets then ill look at tackling it

by **heeman10** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:37 pm

I want to hear that TDI roar once more!! Used to love that sound, quite different to the standard engines.

by **Ghost** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:23 pm

is it?

cool, was hoping to get it done for FF, but i think i better look at more realistic goals!

hopefully at least it will have a newly painted bumper, try and get the door fixed aswell :cry:

by **heeman10** on Wed Jul 12, 2006 12:55 am

Yeah it made quite a noise when it was being used. Chugged along normally like any other diesel, but foot-down driving turned it into something else, used to love that induction roar! Plus on lift-off (e.g. gear changes) it used to make a gentle whooshing hiss like my current recirculating dump valve, was huge fun!

sounds good

by **knuckles** on Sun Jul 16, 2006 9:38 pm

Ghost : newly painted bumper ....

I DEMAND Pics - now it looks decent from the front.

The T-Cut done the car a few favours too

by **Ghost** on Sun Jul 16, 2006 9:57 pm

maybe tomorrow if the suns out, but i might wait until i have the surrounds and the rear and side lights to go on

by **ford fiesta** on Sun Jul 16, 2006 10:30 pm

why dont you just take the mechanical part of the rev counter from the mk3 clocks and transfer it into the mk4 cluster, seems the easiest thing to do :-?

by **Ghost** on Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:11 am

because a disel doesnt come with a rev counter....... and mk4 dials has one, but if i havent got the stuff in the car to count the revs then its not much use :wink:

by **AW3K** on Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:14 pm
