It seemed a shame not to let them see the light of day.

2022 - Update
I have ordered 2 more sets today, prices up as usual but still not too bad.
Now costing £250 plus shipping if you need a set.

Section 01-3 of the owners manual the RS200 has a capacity of 10 litres in respect of engine oil:- 2022-04-17 18_58_39-RS200_Manual.pdf.png So 10 litres of a SAE 10w40 but I had to read up what that meant. Google explained... "The Society of Automotive Engineers developed a scale for both engin...

Coolant Trying to find the right coolant has taken quite a few hours and I have fired off a few emails to experts. A simple search of SSM-97B9103-A doesn't produce much useful information except to say the manual for a Ford Granada Scorpio also suggests this coolant as does possibly the Series 2 Es...

I am surprised we have never had an entry for this in the database. The service parts manual lists it as a 6103279 or 82GB9155AA, I think someone once said it was a 1986 Escort RS Turbo part? Google suggests all of these are equivalent parts:- Alco SP2004 BOSCH 0450905145 BOSCH 0450905601 BOSCH F560...

I'm in conversation with the sellers brother currently, we think someone is trying to run a bit of a scam as the advert is not from him, he is not a female model!
