was somebody from here looking to buy one for a project?
found one for 295 at my local mot station,very tatty, but mechanically sound.

 

rotten rear arches, dodgy abs/electrical gremlins and a saggy front bumper right?

 

theres one for sale in practical classics this month for £150!!!!!

there is a guy up the road from me who has the bug eyed one, totally mint and washes it twice aweek, unfortunatelly though as i have a Cosworth ( a proper one, lol) he feels the need to come and speak to me every time he sees me

 

you must be his hero

 

I actually suspect that he thinks his is better than mine, lol

 

 

i saw a escort van go through ebay with one of these engines in, sierra 4x4 drive train, gearbox, 2.9 cosworth engine. it ended on about 4k. bargin!

 

i remember my dad buying one of these brand new,, think it was about 26k!! not worth anything now!

 

They would be great cars to own and drive, IF the standard auto gearbox wasn't a total load of crap.

 

Oh and the "LSD" FFS was shit too, useless on a wet road.

 

my mate bought a absolute mint cozzie estate for 200 quid, the arches are raving mint. i think after the e+gb come out its going round the banger track,its all there good for. depending on the year of a sierra cos a granny cos may of cost more.

 

bang for buck it's the cheapest way to get 200 odd brake into a sierra

plus the added advantage that you can buy the car for peanuts and flog the bits off and still make a profit

or have some nice comfy chairs in the living room

 

hey guys i`ve been looking for sum info on this for hours now
my bruv has a 2.5 mondeo breaking and this guy calls him asking for an edis 6 module, i guess this is mounted to the driver side bulkhead and is to doing with the cps and so on.. anyway this guy wants this unit to put in his capri that has a 24v granny conversion. Does anyone have any diagrams of both looms because i think the amount of pins in the plug won`t possibly make it work.. How do i identify this edis 6 module to make sure its the rite one?

 

Cheeky twat - a Scorpio 24v IS a propper Cosworth - it's just different in style from the Sierras/Escorts

 

the edis 6 module has the words "edis 6" on the side of it

differentiated from the edis 4 module because they have "edis 4" on the side of them

the modules are the same otherwise as the 6 has 3 green wires to fire 3 packs of twins and the 4 only has 2 green wires to fire 2 packs of twins

hope that helps

 

cheers for the info dojj this is a big help i`ll check when i pop around my brothers place, but first i have to pop round a mates to play with a rs1600i turbo then my car later.. busy busy busy

 

no it aint, its got a cosworth engine, but never badged up as a cosworth

well mine wernt on the car or log book just 24v

 

neither did the merc 190E's with their 2.3 or 2.5 16v engines, but eole still stuck the badge on the back

 

F**k - just because it hasn't got a £9 chrome badge on the back doesn't mean it's not a Cosworth <bangs head>

Log book for my Scorpio says "Scorpio Ultima 24v Cosworth".

 

i'm sure the later cones had cosworth badges?

 

it's got an engine in it that bears the words cosworth on the inlet manifold so it's got a cosworth engine in it

just because it's not a yb doesn't mean it's not posh enough for the rs fraternity to be all snooty with it

 

I would agree it's not an RS though.

Nope - the Granadas had Cosworth badges but they were dropped from the Scorpios to try to bring the insurance costs down (the owners of Sierra's and Escorts were being careless twats by leaving them in dodgy places and letting people nick them). The Scorpio Cosworths still had all the other Cosworth additions though - bigger brakes, traction control (in place of an LSD), stiffer and lower suspension etc.

The whole "it's not a Cosworth" as dojj points out is just snootiness.

 

Yeah because its always the owners fault when there cossie goes missing, give your head a shake mate

 

a yb powered car will always be more attratcive to tealeaves than an old grandad mobile with a slushmatic and heafty lashings of pomp and circumstance

2 totaly different cars for 2 totaly different ends of the spectrum

 

Someone doesn't get a joke................
