Robin,
I'm going to get my brother to take the XR along to the next meet we have so that i can take the Escort (hopefully) but if you cant wait then feel free to pop out and have a nosey around it

P.
Not sure when the next meet is going to happen, will have to wait for chops to get back onshore then we can contact everyone and get something organised. I think we will prob go for something out Banchory way which will include some sort of pub lunch
Just pop in past and have a nosey at the pipes any night. Will be messing around with the car anyway

New Lambda sensor fitted tonight thanks to Ad (adamski frst) and 1 extra turn put on the Actuator.
Boosting to 19/20psi and ticking over nice and smooth
I will run it at that for a while just to make sure everything is ok then wind the boost up to what it should be
MOT on Tues so fingers crossed everything should be fine for Croft.

Paul, what you said to me when I had the temp problem with the Rallye...... there will come a time where there is nothing else you can replace, and that time is soon! springs to mind
She'll be reet for the MOT you have no worries there! In fact if it does need anything I'll eat my hat

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments through my little project
As im sure you all know something like this is never really finished next on the list (if i keep it) are some Defi gauges and some big brakes
I have also recently just purchased the old engine out of YUM but the sensible head is telling me not to fit it to the Escort due to the costs involved with uprating everything else to cope so keep an eye out for my next project.
Hopefully i should be in a position to start that soon as id like it up and running for spring but with major building work going on with the house ATM the 3-door has to take 2nd place
Will keep everyone updated
Cheers
