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?

idling strangely> ?

get this sorted?

you talking bout the Hoff?
i dont think he is as bad as he was. he was good when getting cert for my escorto. dont use his wof guy i suggest though.

end up finding out what was wrong?

Cheers team!

It's possible they do not have them but you can get kits with a selection for a set of twins from other places

what are these other places you speak of?

You can also buy sets there im fairly sure that give you a good selection to play with

Sweet!, hunting the site now looking for a 'set' of jets

Aliexpress has a shitload of jets too.

Just had a look, could be onto something champ. any one else has experience with this site? yells chinaman to me.

thanks Dolan. yeah ive heard the same thing and also his mark up is criminal, was hoping i won't hear ebay but may be the case.

Cheers.,

As per title,

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.

obviously check trademe mate ,

ring round local wreckers and cross fingers.

possibly sign up to NZ Toyota forums and ask,

good luck with the KE30, great wee Jap cars.

whats the deal with those Japanese Sedans and taillights? some of those B4 cars have tinted lens...

Bahco is great valuel. MANY tradespeople have those folding black and orange sets with no complaints.

 

 

+1 Best tool set ive ever had is Bahco. never a problem, the ratchets are superb.

Even used as a hammer when angry/frustrated/drunk.

Loves it.

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.
