Barry, zetec conversion imo is not worth the money. The silver one is running 185hp i think and is standing him £1800, better of 2.9 v6 imo anyway and still a grand spare
Crumpet you love the volcanes lol, yea prob loads on it lad can you not get on?

need money for a zetec converted one, to do it properly anyway!
best engine for cheap is 24v imo, if youve got £2-3k to spend id yb it and make it a sleeper

Well, wee update, basically we've moved house bar a few things and the sierra, and over the bad weather period there the boiler fucked up :down: which we didnt realise as where only at the house every few days/week. Ended up anyway boiler froze and so did the car. Thankfully after only getting to work on her properly since that got her going bang of the key after me draining her the other day and filling her full of antifreeze, noticed it was leaking out through the thermostat housing so let her warm up slightly to see if the thermostat was stuck/froze. Anyway ended up taking it off to find this lol... atleast i know engines fine once this is replaced :thumb:
