24vcossiemat

cant believe this, got offered this for 50 quid so I snapped his hand off, fully working engine, timing chain changed 11,000 mile ago at a astronomical cost. ex police though but it will do me for spares for my magenta granny cosworth. he was gonna weigh it in for scrap. some of you might agree but not me

By the way, don't know if anyone wants anything off this granny for spares, I could be tempted to sell the engine, wheels etc. there the proper 24v alloys, all leather etc, BOA 24v

Looks bloody tidy for 50 quid mate !!

I'm sure them engines guzzle petrol like there's no tomorrow? Can't fault Ł50 though!

24vcossiemat

I don't thrash mine but they are better on fuel than the normal 2.9's but i get about 25 -27 mpg, and it only really goes around town. if ya convert them to manual then i've heard of just over 30 to the gallon, but a lot of work for 5 mpg if ya know what i mean

24vcossiemat

the back arches have bloody great holes in them as usual, yet the sills and inner wings are fine. it got no back exhaust on it and I think the air flow meter is buggered, but it don't smoke or nowt.

I was trawling the 'net for one of these cheap earlier to whack the engine into a Capri we're working on and cheapest I could find was Ł495ono. Bargain. Saw loads for sub-Ł200 though when I wasn't looking for one!

wirralphil

Bargain that for Ł50

Don't them front calipers fit escorts? maybe make your Ł50 sellin them on?

24vcossiemat

I dont know if they fit escorts actually mate, maybe someone can shed some light on this please???

24vcossiemat

the engine will end up for sale mate. I only need the car for most of the other mechanical stuff. I shall just strip the car and leave the engine and box. theres nothing wrong with my engine ya see. I just have little niggly problems with my car, switches and stuff.

Those front calipers are the same spec as the Cosworth 4x4's, only the size of the mounting hole differs. I have a set on my fwd RS2000 coupled with Mondeo 178mm disc's

Ł50! Those cars cost over Ł25k new I believe?

1.9 xr2 on 40's

wish i could find 1, they have just cut the corn and the fields all look like fun

Rs Gary

i also have this set up on my rs2k mk5 escort,they just fit behind the standard wheel but you need 3 mm spacers to fit on the hub,it is a good cheap brake upgrade

TurboShed

yes the front calipers and caliper mounts are the same and fit on escorts and sierra 4x4's
I sold mine on for 70 quid as I already had them on my track car, put the granada vented calipers on mine tho..

24vcossiemat

Hi mate, i was looking at the plate earlier, but it has no mot or tax. but its m126 tev or MR G TEV. ya can't transfer it without the mot an tax can you?????

24vcossiemat

wish it was. handles alright but 4x4 would have been better

dojj

iTrader: (3)

the REAR ones are the same

the front calipers only are the same as the 4wd cos, the brakets aren't

fuzzy

Ł50 for a granada? you were ripped off.

The Youth.

iTrader: (1)

on my xr4x4 the rears were only small solid disks hence why I fitted the larger vented disks from a cos 4x4 and used the granny vented calipers that I had on the donor car

steve

dojj

iTrader: (3)
