Hi all I have a S2 Escort Turbo I have heard that the Transit connect starter fits the Escort and has a bit more power. Could anyone advise if its a particulary year of Transit and whether the body is any slimmer than the RST one as I am having a slight clearance problem between the starter and the sump due to fitting a Ford KA gearbox ( starter is located lower down on the bell housing )

The Transit connect was derived from the focus. Surely corresponding Focus parts should fit as well?

This is the right one ..i have one on my Rs turbo

is the body slimmer on this one compared to the RS standard one ? I have fitted a KA box and the starter is fouling the sump I have modified the sump a little with a hammer to help it fit better. A slimmer starter will be clear of the sump

Anybody know if this will fit a focus rs mk1? I think mine was tired when I took it off 4 years ago

I have fitted the 1.3 KA box fro the duratec with front mounted starter just trying to source the hydraulic connection so I can pipe the slave cylinder up then need to put all the ancillaries on the engine

Ah yeah I'm with you now, the rocam/ohc engine. Have you thought of trying the matching Ka starter motor?
