Mr. Mainstream

yep, so about 15months ago i replaced the switch gear with one from palmside https://palmside.co.nz/products/escort-mk2-new-indicator-switch as it was as sloppy and worn. so kinda ruling that out at the moment, managed to articulate my large body once again under the dash to have a poke around to see if anything looks suspect with no luck. guess il replace the relay, can anyone confirm the photo shown is it? chur

By switch gear do you mean at the column itself?

Hey team, Just out of the blue all my indicates failed to work. The hazard switch also now does nothing. I have checked and replaced the fuse. I tried the joint pin 1 &2 on the hazard pins with no luck. Any ideas? I guess replace the relay, My guess this is it shown?

get this sorted?

end up finding out what was wrong?

Cheers team!

Hey Guys, Ive Been away and my escort has been sitting cold for almost 3.5 months. 2L with a hot cam, head work and sidedraughts etc, Was Rebuilt not many K's ago with polished crank and what not. Bit paranoid, thinking just put in fresh oil, fuel and coat cam and tappets in oil, then take coil lead off, crank over for awhile then try start it? Suffice you think? Thanks in advance for any reply guys.

all sorted

just for future referance there are two different lengths in the booster shafts for the MK2. all i know is 75 boosters have a different length shaft than that of a 1979 one. No need to bleed after. if dont want to remove entire braket you can bend up the side abit to get pins in and out.

this is what i would like to know. do i take apart with whole front bracket?

hey champs about to replace a stuffed brake booster in my escort '75. Just wondering if theres anything to look out for or the best way about it, i aint very confident working with anything to do with brakes except pads. Cheers

replace or temporarily remove fuel fitler. i had similar problem once when drove with next to no fuel. sucked up crap at bottom of tank and blocked up outlet of the filter. worth a shot.

hmm thanks bud. what width were they? i guess ill have to bite the bullet and get them and pray they fit. noone can give and a yay or nay i have asked, i cant see why they wont. really want to maintain the factory 13's. cheers

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/ford/brakes/auction-732991417.htm Anyone running these calipers and discs on their escort? im thinking about purchasing the calipers and 260 x 10mm Disc Kit. Can anyone confirm that they do under factory 13 escort rims as claimed? Chur

the thread is the same size as the sump bung, might do that then. i once heard its not a good idea as its a heatsoak and dosnt give true reading, guess would give a rough idea even if that is the case. still would like to know what that bolt is 19mm

aquired a oil tempture gauge which i am wanted to install on my pinto 205 2l. where is the best place to put the sensor. there is two bolts underneath the exhaust manifold by the bellhousing. the one on the right must be for coolent drain, what is the other one. weary about removing in case to do with oil pick up or something. any help helpful cheers
