there are two types! You want the one that clips to the turbo oil return pipe, the one that clips over the starter itself is seriously not worth bothering with!

you need to get a LUCUS LRS788 or cross reference that to another make,they are geared and you wont get the hot start problem like the old type starter there a waste of time! had mine off ebay.

as additction said dont buy the one in the link as they fit underneath the starter to protect it from the downpipe and it isnt really needed, go to ford and ask for the heat shield which clips onto the the oil return pipe and sits between the turbo and starter motor

I wouldnt bother going to Ford or ebay looking for a rare and probally hard to get heat shield.Why not just heat wrap the down pipe and the starter.Easy to get and easy to do.Regards,Micky
