hi there! im a new member and this is my first time on the forum!
i was wondering if anyone could help me? i have a 1990 xr3i which is very nice! i have just got a performance chip of some sort from my uncle,and it fits onto the inlet air temperature sensor? does anyone know where this is on my car? thanks for any help! mix.

 

Welcome to the madhouse

As for the "chip", was it from ebay by any chance and look suspiciously like a 2p resistor?
Put it in the bin, you will gain more power that way than you would if you fitted it!

 

no idea but hello and welcome mate

hello and welcome

 

thanks anyway! now that you mention the 2p resistor your probably right! i baught the car in the summer for not a lot but i was told that it was probably worth more than double for what i paid, recently with all the great weather we r having in scotland just now i found out that my rear window rubber is leaking quite bad! and as ford want a 100 pounds for the rubber and 50 to fit it i cant afford it just now! does anyone have any solutions as to what i could do in the meantime?? i thought about getting another boot lid or another window rubber from the scrapyard but there is a chance it might not seal again!! please help as it is bugging me big time and my boot will have ducks in it shortly!

 

Is it the window rubber or the seal on the inside lip that it shuts against ?

Welcome

 

its the actual window rubber itself mate?

 

Get one from the scrappy (be careful how you take it off) & replace yours with it - easy

 

the rubber is cracked around the corners? due to age and weathering i guess??

 

It'll take you 15 minutes to change it - get some cord & give it a go

 

thanks mate!

 

No probs - if you get stuck do a search on here as there's been plenty of threads asking how to change glass & some good tips too or just put up a post asking how it's done & you'll get loads of help

 

just wondered if anyone could give me some pointers on where to start and how to remove my rear window to replace the window seal? anh help is appreciated! thanks!! mix.

 

Put up a post & make it for the attention of Thrush he's a window fitter

 

Working from the inside fold the rubber lip up and out. Work your way round and after about 1/2 is done you will be able to lift it out.

For a quick fix for now you could smear the cracks with silicone sealant that should stop it leaking

On older fords its usually the metal that has rotten away in the corners not the rubber that causes the leaks by the way

 

Sod that Takes an age

You just lie on the back seat and push the window out with your feet

(dont forget to have your glamorous assistant ready to catch it )

 

Or a Hover

I have just cut the top off the rubber to get your window out then braek the one in the scrappy and remover the bits of glass

Also i'd buy new i did on my s1 front and rear my m8 just did his front on for £55 i belive so back should'nt be any more

All the best tho m8
