red5 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hangar update. Hmm. D3 2007 Working as intended. Supremely capable. Not that bad on fuel. Has that unstoppable feel about it. So that's screwed that now I mentioned it. D2 2001. Two balljoints, chassis welding and a wiring repair later, MOT. Will post a pic up at some pojnt, or split the threads. Maybe. Frontera Sport 92. Still not fitted rear springs, clutch slave cylinder or rear drums and shoes. Still starts and drives. Nominally sold. Scud. Sold. Fiesta 1990 2.0 Zetec. Fiesta not moved since MOT. Awaiting fuel lines, tank out for sender fettling- gauge reads backwards. Needs a lower engine mounting and someone who can put more time in to it really It's warm and dry more importantly. Had an offer to break it for parts- it's got RS1800 ecu and various bits that would fetch decent money. I'd rather not mind, it having made it this far. Vectra C 2006. Mot. Check. Service. Check. Coolant flush. Check. Wiper linkage -fell off. Replacement arm. Fell off. Awaiting fitment of two new arms. Sold. So naturally bits fall off now.

red5 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'll actually take some pictures and put them up, but it's too cold. Or similar. I really must - a-fix Fiesta b-find it a more deserving home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah blah That little red Frontera A is a great thing. My Dad just got a 2.2 lwb on an 03, and I used it over the weekend. It wants the brakes doing and some of the rear sills are getting a bit a thin but quite why these proper 4wd on chassis cars get the bad rep they do is beyond me.

red5 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Update time...somewhat overdue. Current - D3. just passed it's test. In need over front and rear lower arms/bushes. So will fit the RR sport ones (heavier duty option). Front prop rear joint is tired. Wobbly tired now. Still not replaced noisy injector on no6/3/make your mind up L-R. Fixed the random issue with limp mode/no go/lamps on (fuel pressure related - ha!) rear pads, discs and shoes still waiting to go on...:-) D2. Replaced front axle seal. And the bbj gaiter. And the clips. And... So now it doesn't piss EP everywhere. Probably. Still tentatively for sale, however it's Winter, it's unstoppable and does 30-33 on a tank commuting. So....

red5 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Collected a Fiesta 1.2 16 from off here. Then ignored it. Then peeled all the shonky stickers off. Then refitted the superb high level brake lamp accessory. Then put it in for a test. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
