New ford security decals ....
ive been bored on microcat lol






next i discovered that the old credit card reserve keys are still availible. So if u ever lose your car keys .... you have a spare in your wallet.
obviously i have blured the pic for obvious reasons.

lastly i have a nice purchase to make sure i can get my 170 bhp on the road without the clutch slipping





only £70 and only 600 miles covered
ap - borg & beck padle clutch plate

[RS rob]

good shout on the credit card key clark,
i've got the key with the torch on it lol

[Excursion]

Hi mate, can you post the number for the Keycode decals, cheers.

The yellow oval decals are the later design which were used on Mondeo forwards - Do you know if they have the original Mk3/3.5 type which were wite and circular in design? I assume the yellow oval decals have repalced these...

Cheers

How much was the credit card key, and does it contain the chip for the PATS system? I'm guessing not, fantastic idea that though, never even knew they existed

The card key was £7.90 for a non pats key
the pats key is availible still and is around £18 from fords.

Update



bang on 8am this morning i began to strip down the Rs with help from a ramp and air tools this time




Old box out




engine bay with old clutch off.




I gave it a lick of gloss black spray the night before and fitted new drive shaft oil seals along with a new selector shaft seal.
















The Rs accessory rear lights were put back on today ... i have missed these so much





Gearbox feels really nice and paddle clutch handles the power nicely and i still have a nice soft pedal as i used the standard ford clutch cover.
Just need a chip on it now so i can up the boost up from 10psi....

[Ram]

Im finding it the same to drive with everyday as the normal clutch tbh
I sometimes get a judder from the flywheel in 1st gear , but if i pull away quick enough it does'nt make the noise.

im thinking of buying a clutch quadrant and keeping it in the glove box along with tools to do it
ive had so many ppl say to me they snap easy.

[Ram]

ha yeh just waiting for mine to snap somehwere far away from home
there was a guy/company that machined up some metal quadrants awhile ago, not sure if there still being made but im gonna look into it.

[knuckles]

this bank holiday i went on another driving holiday ... to pontypool in south wales this time.








crossing the severn bridge sunday evening.























Found the only ford dealer selling only 2 new cars lol
a new fiesta and a new fusion




We went through black mountain where jermery clarkson tested that mercedes black on top gear. Weather was so horrible raining constantly. Fog was so thick i couldnt see in front of me at one point. some incredible roads around there.





FOG !

[muz]

Up in Rhayader in the Edan Valley by any chance? Havent had a chance to take the Escort up there yet but being just up the raod the XR2i knows those roads well they are STUNNING!

[RS rob]

nice to see your fiesta my side of the border clark boy!!

box looks great, just get the chip now

[knuckles]

another new purchase

i was pricing up replacing the front rs turbo fog lamps , driving lamps ,the surrounds , screws, fixings etc ...

The hella lamps are £69 each from ford
The surrounds are £21 each
special long screws £1.29 each

Unfortunatly one of the surrounds are no longer availible from ford. So that left only one option ...
buying it complete.







when these arrived i couldnt stop looking at them ...
They didnt even come with bulbs !
4 bulbs @ £6.90 per bulb !!





this hopefully answers the question on which way round do the fog lamps go ....
the fogs have the lines and go on the outter. The driving lamps have a metal shield on the inside of the lamp and go on the inner.


very exspensive i must say

[RS rob]

i did'nt think they were that expensive???
but saying that i had them new 3 years ago and the way ford prices have been going up the last few years

[Wittmann]

What was the price in UK for thease?

[Excursion]

I now keep checking this thread for part ideas . I ordered a couple of those credit card keys and just ordered a pair of lamps. £124 for the pair! Worth it, though. I might make some perspex guards for them.

[rsonblackwheels]

ohh nice new fogs

love the pics from your driving holiday awesome roads. we did some nice ones yearlier this year up in Cumbria Lake District, the rino's pass, rino's back buttertubs pass all fantstic roads and sooo much fun

gotta get back across Wales now then

[Turboboy67]

I didn't realise you can still buy those lights from Ford,

I have 2x complete b/n drivers side sets and a pair of lights for the passenger side, I'm missing the surround for them.

I can't understand though fella why you spend so much money on genuine bits for a daily driver, those lights will soon get stone chippped and dirty.

I'm frightened even to take mine out of the boxes

[tompeteRS]

Knuckles - which side of fog surround is unobtainable as I may have a plentiful source of them?

those lights wont be going on my car until it gets the repsray it deserves.
I too plan to make up a guard for the hella lamps because i have had two crack since ive had my Rs from stone chips.
