Where can i get one from for my erst? I dont suppose anyone's got one lying around at all have they?

 

Is it a yellow one?

















































































Sorry, i could help myself

 

As soon as i saw that you'd posted i knew it wasnt gonna be of any help whatsoever!

 

PMSL

 

 

Anyone?

 

I'll even pay you for it

 

what screw ya talking about, whats it pluged into


is it in the throttle or the metering head ???

 

It's the co adjustment screw ginge, the one in the metering head.

 

I've often used a Merc one as they use the same KE system the old 124 shape merc use them..230E etc

Bobby

 

is it the same as a xr3o metering head or not, if so i got a xr3i metering head ya can remove the co screw from

 

Cheers mate, if no one on heres got one i'll have to pop round to a few scrappy's to see what they've got.

 

Ginge, im sure it's the same mate Im getting excited now lol

Can anyone confirm if they are the same?

 

cant ya test one off a yellow mondeo to see if that fits first

 

I aint got a yellow mondeo or any other colour for that matter!

 

BTTT

 

Still need one

 

Elaborate...
Which screw have you lost as the one in the flap itself is an allen head and i fail to see how you could "Lose It"

 

Stu, thats the one mate, i didnt lose it, i bought the car & realised that there was a bodged replacement instead of the propper one

 

Oh dear.....

You mean the one that is actually part of the flap, and moves down with the flap if you push it?

Oh double dear.......

 

Oh dear oh dear oh dear AJ

 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkkkk

 

It aint that bad you coooonts

Surely the ones on xr3i's are the same?

 

Stu are we thinking about the same one chap? It's the thin allen key one that actually adjusts the co.

 

Thats the one

Oh dear mate, really sorry

I am feeling for you at this sad time

 

It's ok Tiffany, if i block the hole up with some duct tape it runs fine

 

 

AHA!! Now were talking

I knew it wasnt the fooking adjuster you had lost

The actual adjustment screw is inside the unit, youve lost the extension tower from the top that SOME had.

Next to the "hole" do you also have 2 smaller holes? Or is there just one hole?

 

Oh Stu, you could of lead him on a bit

 

APMSL @ Tiffany, - spoilt your fun has he?

Ok Stu, just had a look & it's a hole on it's own, it's the one that if you adjust it clockwise it pushes the flap down slightly (i hope that makes sense)

 

Right,
If it has only one hole, you will see its threaded inside. This early unit never had an extension housing with the spring loaded adjuster, so your isnt missing at all

You used to have a small screw in there, so find something suitable and sort it

 

So as long as i get a screw that adjusts the flap up & down that'll be fine? Even if it's not a 100% perfect fit? Sod it - im gonna leave the duct tape on it

 

NO!!
The adjuster is an allen headed screw and its STILL IN THE HOLE

Just put a small screw in the hole to make it airtight and leave adjustments to those who know what theyre up to...

Technically the tape is fine... but thats not my "professional" advice, thats me thinking your capable of no better

 

yeah the name Galbally spings to mind

 

Stu, theres no screw in there mate, to check this i put a little torch in the metering unit (by pushing the flap down) & the light was shining right through the hole where the screw is meant to be

 

ohhhh foooook that sounds really expensive aj

 

now your in the shit AJ

 

Fookin drama queens the pair of ya

 

AJ.. trust me on this one...

There IS a screw in there

Its just not where YOU think it is

When you pressed the arm down, you moved the screw out of teh way too as its part of the flap and arm assembly

If only i had a pic here at home

 

We are not the ones going

"Stu, Stu, help me please. I was screwing my flap now i have lost it. Help Help"
