Fiesta RS Turbo Mini Restro (J45 WBO)

rschristoff · 10-05-2010, 06:09 PM

I bought this fiesta off here about 3 weeks ago. It had tax and test till december,so thought id buy it,drive it around and clean it up abit.There is a running problem with it when your going down hill, it will cut out,but i think it was the fuel cut off switch,but its got one of those fse fuel pressure regualators on it,so i bought a standard 1 but its no good. After that i thought sod it,so i have now parked it on the drive and going to sort it out.
I have also had to put a trackrod end on it,bottom arm and a tyre.
The plan now is to tidy it up abit. heres some pics up to now.

ye m8 you aint wrong.the actuator has been rubbing in to it.whoever fitted the rad didnt fit it right.Also looks like its been repaired in the past.

I havnt got a clue what suspension is on it,but its too bloody low thats for sure.

Yep it is chiped.Its got a superchip on it,with the blues still.

rschristoff · 11-05-2010, 08:44 PM

had a think about it 2nite and im goin to take the engine out....the thrust bearing is a little noisy on it on tickover so might as well get that sorted out.also might take the head off it and do the headgasket on it,just for safe measure really.then clean all the engine up and sort the oil leaks out on it.then clean the bay up

Good luck with it mate. . . stick with it.

Looks like you got some wiring to tidy up too

You want a box of black tape and some new hoses there to by the looks of it. . . If theres owt I can help with you know where I am
