That's mint, i'd drive around in that all day long!

The Vibra Tecnics uprated mounts are over £100 quid, so it's either OEM or uprated, i'm sure some of the traders on here can beat Renaults prices.

Upper engine........mount?

The XR3i was the ultimate/original Chav car back in the 90s, but the word Chav hadn't been invented yet, so we just called them tw*ts instead. While most of you were getting your nappies changed, McDonalds car parks were full of XR3i's perfecting handbrake turns. :cool:

Just because something's old doesn't make it a classic, now if it was the GSI then that would be a fair price seeing as it needs work, but a 1.2? They're dreaming imo. There are loads of 20 year old Escorts out there, but only the XR3i's and RS Turbos are considered classics, the rest are just...

£1200 quid for a 20 year old 1.2 with no tax or mot?

This is how I stop people from seeing in the boot. I don't have any back seats because of my Alsation, the waterproof cover is from argos and is purely there to stop everything getting covered in mud, but from the outside it just looks like a seat cover. There's no way of securing the boot...

What's wrong with PTFE gaskets then? I've had them on mine when Jam Sport did my inlets, they seemed like decent lads when I was there, i'm sure they'd sell you some if you paid for postage.

So are all forum 'Users' only allowed 5 posts a day?

It's the kind of car a 6 year old would draw on the back of his maths book.......whilst on crack.

No real performance issues, went for a blast yesterday and it felt as fast as ever, it always judders and vibrates, has done for years, uprated engine mounts don't help. lol

Had the upper inlet off the other week and there was a HT lead that looked a bit worse for wear.

(Sorry for the photo, I took it from another thread) It was flashing for a bit then buggered off, i've done a search but as usual all the results contradicted each other.

Welcome, so where in the Midlands are you?

F*ck me that's what the noise is in mine!! I've had a metallic rattle that increases with revs for a while now. I'll add water pump to list of things that need doing.

Maybe, but they'll pull your trousers down, might be cheaper to just get a remap at a decent tuners.

You'll need to remap the car to get rid of it.

Could do, although it won't look right and i'll have to load the dog from the other side all the time, suppose I could look for a single decent recliner instead. I'm considering going round a few breakers and seeing if any nice cars have been scrapped, might be some nice seat to be had cheap...

That's the only thing I was worried about, will they snap and kill me if i'm in an accident.

After having my 172 off the road for 2 months, getting back into it feels weird, the gearstick's too low down and I feel like i'm sat on top of the thing rather than in it. I've been using a £300 Mondeo that's held together by hope and dreams and rust, and the driving position in it is so much...

The power steering feels really heavy as well, aux belt may indeed be to blame.

I just tested the battery on 2.5k rpm and it dropped from 12V to 10V, then on idle it dropped to 8V, so i've taken the battery out for another charge, I guess it's new alternator time. On cold starts the aux belt is squealing, could a slack aux belt cause the alternator to not recharge the...

Didn't check that, i'll have a look tomorrow.

I just got my car going after 2 months of it being an ornament, i've got a dodgy alternator which drained the battery. I've just put a multimeter on the alternator and it's putting out 12.5 volts, don't they normally put out 14V?

F*ck me that's a nice car, an Evo is on my 'cars to own before you die' list.

Can you buy bigger arches, or are you going to have to fabricate some?

I lived in a flat where the breakfast bar was smaller than that spoiler, i'll never understand why people feel the need to f*ck with a car that looks good to begin with.

The white one looks like a fat birds high heels, although the wheels would nice on the black one.

Sod off, in Cov that would be classed as subtle, i'd drive around in that all f*cking day.

I'd love this as a dog carrier, I also like how it looks like a hearse, bonnet vents need a coat of black though. Alright for £2k I think. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ford/escort/ford-escort-rs-turbo-van/1062775
