  3. Mk2 Ford Escort L. Going to wire up a suttle shift light. what i wire am i using for IGN? i have yellow/black, red, yellow and a black wire coming from my ignition barrel. i have a gut feeling its the yellow/black one. Cheers.
  4. yeah even with the Key out it remains on. it seems to be charging fine and battery volt is normal. The hasstle is that i have to disconnect battery as it slowly drains it. Strange :/
  5. Hey guys, Mk2 Ford Escort, when i turn the car OFF the red alternator light turns on and stays on. alternator seems to be working fine and it has new battery. If i leave it for more than a couple of days it drains the battery. Goes away when turn car on. Any Ideas why its started doing this?
  6. yeah going to safe R. seems like genuine GC doing it by himself in a pit haha. Thanks guys
  7. Had same thing in same place in my Mk2 Escort about a year ago. I tried to find another guard and mine didnt look as bad as your damage, Judging by the photos id say it would be a good idea for you too. it would have to be removed anyway to be repaired and they almost never look "quite right" when rebeatin. i removed guard and it was reasonably simple. Drilled holes thru the spot welds there was about 7, then chiseled the weld/slag free and removed. I had more of a time getting the damn dome top bolts off to remove the full chrome bumper than the guard haha . Brought new gaurd for i think $100 and $45 for it to be welded on straight by raycoft down here. Had colour match for bout $75 i think mate from friendly panel beater . + pinstripe . Before After No Big problem
  8. Soon ill be needing a full exhaust banged up for one of my Mk2 Ford Escors with a 2L. dont need or want anything fancy. press bends fine etc. Anyone got any recommendations for a deec price? Thanks in advance.
  9. is there any clearance issues with extractors with a 2L in a mk2 NZ Escort? would headers for a mk3,4,5 cortina be fine? Im sure they are, just would like to make sure. Cheers
  10. In Bromley on maces just down from wreckers is Discount tyres. Old dude with suit and tie under his overalls is a top-man for doing tyre fitting. He'll do for $10 each, just might have to help jack it up etc. Will only charge $5 if you can use the tyre changer. Usually open late also as it appears he runs some sort of half taxi operation on the side.
