Hi there, Hope someone can help. Is the front cooling assembly, (Radiator, fans etc) the same throughout the mk1 range, if not what has the same arrangement as the 2.8 v6. Thanks in advance.

As stated door wiring, I'd lock up car go shopping come back and find doors n windows open! Looked inside rubber door gaters and found a nightmare of broken and bare wires, repaired and problem disappeard.

Is it possible to fit 215/65/15 in place of 215/60/15. The difference being the 60 to 65 radius? This is on my Mk1 2.3 ghia X standard Ford Alloys.

Cheers Brian, simple exhaust gasket change has changed into a nightmare, three of the four tubes has cracked across the top due to flexing so now looking for a manifold for 2.3, so far no luck on new ones, one on ebay that I may have to buy.

Cheers Bigdave, neither of those have them but just managed to order pulley from Camberley Auto factors for £15.00, lot better than replacing complete unit which is about £110, now just got to fit it! They also had exhaust manifold gasket for a tenner, next job!

The pully bearing has gone on the tensioner on my mk1 2.3, my question is can i replace the pully only as there is nothing wrong with the tensioner, if so has anyone an idea where i can get one from?

Having a mk1 Galaxy with the Vr6 engine, I noticed the other day that the upper viscous fan had pretty much seized up. Has anyone got a step by step guide and with pictures would be great, on how to change it. Thanks

Hi all, I've just changed rear hatch and glass in rear doors and quarterlights to tint 9, so I've four bits of glass and rear door glass tint 7 going free to fit mk1 gal, Im in gosport for collection if anyone wants em if not they are going to tip.

Hi there, no doubt this has been mentioned before. I have been through all 450+ pages to look but cant say I noticed it. What Haynes Manual do I need to get to cover this engine. Thanks In advance and please no negative comments.

Hi my mate has joined site by the name of destig and is still awaiting verification, can anyone help? Viperclive

Used the link that brian posted, never know there was such a thing!

Cheers all sorted now.

My mate has just bought a mk1 ghia X and is joining the forum, he needs radio code can anyone help. I have all details. Clive

Scrap yard visit, rip out good wire down rear pillar or in rear hatch, also rubber gator, cut out defective wire and connect new in rear hatch and down rear pillar, remember new boot! Easy job as the wiring color code should match. Either crimp or solder as you have lots of room to play with, remember any bare wire to cover with heat shrink sleaves.

You need a flairing brake pipe kit, copper brake pipe n practice how to put ends on, oh n connectors not forgetting the gear to bleed, it can be done and once all done in copper no further Rot!!

Cheers for that just got one for

Would anyone have the part no for a mk1 rear door ford badge, my steam cleaner buggerd up mine, blew it apart!

It can be done as long as you have the right tools, ie spring compressor and are lucky to be able to get top nut off strut!

Do you have a sun roof?

Check the date Olly

Jesus Christ I paid

You buy it from a boy racer?

In the pic with pipe connected, to the right at back corner looks like a connection for vacume/cruise pipe? Also you need rubber pipe back on aircon drain, if all that water has been going down that pipe has it all ended up in the vacume unit in front ns wing?

I would check the other leads that connect to battery connectors, sounds like ones loose.

Hi, have you checked under front passenger seat, the control box, I had a small flood in mine due to drains blocked from sunroof, filled compartment under seat shorted out electrics and all windows opened at once in heavy rain! Took box apart and dried out, refitted all well, drains sorted and just in case box now stands on stilts!
