Out Run

I didn't choose the Mondy life. It chose me. 

I had the same with my fiesta last year, fortuanlty the local motor factors keep ford coolant caps in stock.

Today @Lacquer Peel turned up again after I'd made a slow start on taking things apart.
Being somewhat taller than me, he leaned into the engine bay and made short work of the intake manifold, then just kept soldiering on and took the glow plugs out.

Five very sad glow plugs were removed.

We also put a multimeter on the glow plug wiring to confirm 12V is getting to them. It is. The plugs are just deader than a dead thing.
Packed up and called it a day. I get the joy of reassembling it tomorrow.
I also still need to source my own battery for it anyway...

I've never seen an E. Just S and SE.
Mine's an S. no idea what they stand for.

Also, whoever manages to get an OBD II reader to recognise the ECU, wins.

These are all mechanical badboiz with an engine closer to your camper than a C Class😃
Relatively simple to diagnose, but certainly a good battery should cure most of the ills.

No "E" here but it is a price list from 2003.

Superlative.

Seems the secret of these as a value 4x4 is out now, been a few up for sale fairly locally over the past couple of months and i can't get near them, they're gone in minutes. And i'm not even joking..... enquired about a couple of them less than 20minutes after an ad has been posted, same reply 'Somebody is already on the way to collect, sorry'. They weren't even 'cheap cheap'.

They're a properly well kept secret. 
Maybe not so much on here, now lol.
Mine has been constantly abused, the six years I have owned it. They just come back for more.
 
Lads, we need to arrange an RX290 diff dragging day out, in them.

He's collected what folk wrongfully believe shares underpinnings with one.
But that style. That's South Korea's finest hour. That's all them.

You got the shit/270 grille. Booo!
 
 

We need to change the name of the recently formed  2.9 owners club, now. 😅
Good work, mate. 👌🏻

@SupernautThe main chassis ground is bolted to the block under the N/S engine mount. 
IIRC it runs into a junction box. That's the first place I would be looking.
OM662 values are an odd one. People advertise them for good money, but the 190D etc owners only seem to want a 606 etc.
