how do i get the pesky things out then??

 

turn 1/4 left and gently take out

 

as said,twist and pull. whats you putting in their place?

 

thanks got some clear ones gonna see what they look like

 

like this

 

clears... good choice!!!

heres mine!

 

yeh i can't get the bloody old ones out they turn around but wont come out

 

give them a wiggle they will be stuck to the rust and catty



don't be to rough as the wing flexis quite easily around the repeater.

steve

 

Noooooooo stick with ambers

 

Seconded! Best mod youve done to that car!

Clears dont look right on white ones imo

 

Nah got to be clears in my opinion. I think ambers seem to look better on a totally standard car but look a bit strange with the twins.

 

can't get the feking things out theres nothing to get hold of, I can turn them around no problem but cant get a outwards pull at the same time??

 

they really should be a piece of cake to get out mate,just wondering if there from another escort (slightly different fitment) and been forced in there a bit (if thats possible) yr only other option is to jack it up,remove the wheel and plastic arch cover (few screws)easy job,then get a light and have a look from the back! if you dont wana force anythink....thats wot id do if yr saying there not coming out

 

yeh I think I'll leave 'em, for the time being I have installed them in the door pocket

 

hope you havnt wired them up in there aswell lol....

 

me, wire something your kidding

 

wont either come out? sounds strange,i had one once where it would only come out about 5mm,that turned out to be the wire on the back had been trapped when they were fitted from factory,only allowing a slight bit of play,had to remove arch liner to sort that one,another cause could be its had aftermarket cheapos fitted as some of these are slightly larger than the hole and take a bit of persuading to go in or out in your case

 

no both are identical simply won't come out they will turn around with mole grips but won't come out both of the indicators have a little ford logo on them they look pukka

the car has definately had 2 new wings on it though so I suppose anything could of happened. I'm having some Koni's fitted on Wednesday so I'll get them to have a look behind and see whats going on

 

I thought it was genuine as they come

 

Serious??

 

yep sure has and a respray in the engine bay me thinks, i think its had a fair bit of paintwork done, not a bad job by all accounts. don't intend on ever selling it so not bothered too much, just goes to show though.

i am pretty confident the mileage is correct due to the amount of history with it it looks as though somebody has given it a tidy up at some point, my money would be J28 as a half decent respray on a low mileage car probably reaped a big profit !!!

 

Oh mate, that is a shame, i would be gutted. Hope your ok about it?
Was it not obvious when you looked at it before buying?? Is it obvious now tho?
With regards to the history does it have all the mots and service bills with the mileage?

 

had a good luck before buying but like i said its had a good job done, i only began to notice when waxing it slight run marks and spray marks here and there i was a little curious about the wings when i went to look as the welds at the front didn't look factory.

yeh i have recepts for everything mot's servicing even the original sales brochure and bill of sale!!!

and to be honest I am still more than happy with it as somebody somewhere has spent some money sorting it out I would just prefer to think it was due to neglect/age as opposed to a front ender lol!!!

obviously nothing on the hpi etc.

 

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest chap!

 

knowing some of the wrecks that are out there I still very pleased to have this one

 

you have to use mole grips to turn the indicators somethink not right there should turn easily with yr hand.
