currently having issues with electrics, changed ignition amplifier but still cutting out, so going to change the coil next and from there check all wiring. I know it's not the carb so just a case of finding the problem. it's intermittent so very annoying.

leasts its one of few examples surviving.

it is indeed

probably my mate's one, the same one in this video

if im right it used to have a crosshatch head now a rebuilt cvh head

Check my channel out this is my motor more vids there too

its a standard xr2 engine [the 1.6 CVH] but the car itself is a limited edition festival, still a mk2 fiesta, but without the xr2 body kit etc, and originally would have had a 1.2 engine [possibly with automatic CVT gearbox] in terms of the badge, ultra rare, since this car is a phase 1 of the festival limited edition, they did a phase 2 the year after.

i will have a look today for you and let you know as im not sure on the model either. I know its the same as other brands of lawn tractor, just differnt colours and stickers, so parts should be easy enough to find. I think they're made in Canada orginally.

mtd ...bloody nightmare to get parts in ireland

standard i think this one is the 76ps engine [which is about 75BHP] but with what i've done to it, i reckon a sensible estimate now would be in the early 80's, ie 83 - 85 BHP dont think it'll do anymore without a turbo bolted on hahaha, but it goes well once up to speed!

the 2.5 DI turbo transit Is quite rare I think ex rac vans were turbo

michael jagger I also have a feeling the ambulances were V6 petrol, but i might be thinking of the older mk2 and early mk3 transits, not sure! lol

some mk2/3 early ambulances were essex V6's or cologne V6's

had to be modified to fit properly

Figured that. Side exit is cool though. Thanks for the reply. Got any video of what it sounds like driving? Bit of a bark off it there, not too bad :)

The Conrad Channel funnily enough im going to be doing a video of it so i can hear what it sounds like myself. i've since put on a differnt air filter too which gives it even more of a bark, it's a pleasure to drive aswell, pretty nippy. So i'll get the video done soon whilst we have nice weather! To fit it, the side pipe had to be shortened about an inch and a half and then i added a new exhaust mount.

Rsspecial1 That's not very extreme modification there really. so a nice result for not too much fuss

not yet but will do when the weather is better as its too wet outside to start taking it apart. Need to sort out the ignition mondule/magnet.

Essex, England. It's provisionally sold but will know for sure if still for sale within a day or two.

£8000 but its provisionally sold

cheers!

its got a few bits that need attention but im planning on keeping this van so will be carrying out the work in the spring once the weather has warmed up abit, overall im chuffed wth the van and the price i paid.

usual places for rust bottom of the back doors. back doors are easy to find wheel arches, footwells. them 2.5DI's can go round the clock a couple of times.

Yeah they've got some chequer plate over the bottoms, got the van like it! the old transits do like to rust! hahaha, but like you said, the engines are brilliantly reliable. will go forever.

transit's has to be the uk best selling van. forget the rust but people bought them because they were durable. I hope the new ford transit custom has conquered the rust problem. even post 2000 transits rust.

I always wanted a transit, i grew up with them being used to run the country, from BT vans to ambulances, police, royal mail etc. So i've always wanted one. I hope to do the bits and peices on this one to make it a good example, planning on keeping it for good - but got lots of bits to do in the spring time when its warmer.

yes I remember the 1999 advert for the transit with a slade song in it. the british remained loyal to ford as the vans were built in Southampton. I remember the old postie vans grey BT Vans AA etc

cheers :)

Standard xr2 tailpipe, and a flexi pipe up front, otherwise its standard manifold and tube etc.

Rsspecial1 Thats awesome! Gotta do something to my fiesta, sounds standard haha
