Help! R5 Buying Trouble

[Mikey16vClio]

These are the probs (any answers and prices to put right please);

Dash lights come on for no reason, engine temp, oil, battery, fuel. The engine is good and runs well so whats the deal?

The rear needs bringing level as it is lower than the front.

The thermostat switch needs replacing as the fan doesnt kick in.

As i said the engine, head gasket, etc are all sound but need to know the cost of fixing to bid a fare price. Thanx a lot, Mikey.

dash, im not a leccy person and its not really my thing, but could be as simple as a bad connection or earth making everything appear on.

raising the torsion bar is a simple task and you can do it for a few quid or get it dont for about 40.

the fan temp switch is a few quid and easy......but directly connect the fan with a peice of wire and bridge the connection to make sure it works.

Cheers.

Whats the liklyhood the elecy problem is more serious/expensive? Thanx

 

[BenR]

not sure.......

but since everything is on, and nothing is broke (if that you know for sure) it sounds like a simple wirering problem....

Might be more info available on http://www.rtoc.orghttp://www.rtoc.org very helpful, but seems as Ben said to be a dodgy connection somewhere along the lines, which isnt that rare in a GTT!!

Need to be a member but thanks. Anyway ive decided that the R5 aint worth as much as he wants for it to me so still looking for either a mint R5 or a black FRST.

What sort of money you looking to spend on a GTT? Got to be the GTT over the fiesta though!
