excellent service and professional company. Today mainly Mitsubishis, big on fords before. They did some development on the GrpA and WRC escorts as far as I know. My WRC has a MEM sticker on the hydraulic diffcontroller block.

Are you sure Tim ? as it looks pretty factory to me seeing as the boss Delacour drove it in the world rally championship and won a pretty big rally in it.
