Hi all, as per title, new XR2i owner, had a couple when I was younger and fancied reliving my youth a bit!! A day after getting her home the fans have stopped working inside the car and to be honest I haven't heard the cooling fan come on either, both fuses are fine, anyone had the same issues?? P.s is there an easy way to upload pics as ill pop some on. Cheers Ben

 

 

That looks sweet bud I just sold my saff and looking at building a track fiesta

 

Hmmm very nice!

 

Heater fan could be the switch, the fan or the pre-resistor. If the fan still runs on the highest position, it's the resistor.

The car looks very good and clean so I don't think the fan motor isn't working because of rust or dirt. Just try to short-circuit the fan. If it's working, it won't be the fan itself. Could be the temp switch or the engine just isn't getting too hot yet.



It's a very tidy car. Original, the red still is red (very rare sight on older cars) and the interior looks like fresh from the factory.

 

Hello and welcome to Pf

Your 2i looks a cracking example

 

Thanks for the comments and advice on the heaters guys! hoping to just sort out the little niggles then keep it standard and as mint as possible!!

 

Shouldn't be a big problem if there aren't more than you already mentioned.

The only other bits are, cracked fog lights (replacements bought), passenger window mechanism has broken (relatively cheap to replace) and I will swap the steering wheel back to original as the previous owner fitted an RS turbo steering wheel and its in poor condition to be fair.

 

The gear nob is an rs turbo one aswell, think I have a blue xr2i one kicking around

 

I thought I remembered them having blue on but wasn't 100% sure as its been a few years since my last XR. I would be up for buying it if you would like to sell???

 

Also thinking about going back to standard wing mirrors instead of the 3.5 items currently fitted, a standard black rear spoiler and amber indicator lenses, your thoughts welcome guys!

 

Standard rear wiper and I would leave the rest personally

 

Need to find it first lol, have a vague idea where it located, would put the ambers back on the front, would be nice to see it with the standard mirrors, leave the spoiler.

 

rear wiper ordered this morning
