lots of us know small bits on how to make our cars better without spending the earth, but hardly any of us like to give the information out freely, information that could help somebody out or make fixing their car cheaper. why shouldn't we though? to make a few bucks when somebody elses pride and joy goes tits up? i'm sure we've all been there, something has broken on your car, only a few people have the part you're looking for, or know how to do the job, but want to charge you the earth for it. know the feeling? here's your chance to give some information that may just help somebody out!

well... here's my contribution to the community, free of charge!

bug eyed scorpio's use a 20mm rear arb that is interchangeable with the sierra/sapphire. (2wd is 16mm, 4x4 is 18mm)

they also use 3.6 ratio 7 1/2" rear diffs in the 2.9 models, but without an LSD.

alot of rear diff breakages are just the planet gears getting smashed... these are only £10 each new from ford!

an escort cosworth centre console (back piece) is just a cut down 4x4 sapphire one.

can't think of any more for now... anybody else care to contribute some knowledge?
