Hopefully we'll all find out how to sort that!



Modified mondeo PCB to allow clocks to work in Transit. (These are from a Mk2 Momdeo Diesel, my van is a 2000 2.0 TD)

(Pos5 & pos 8 are pointing to wrong tracks, please count and dont go off picture positions. I have taken pos1 as the top one. Should be the tracks above)
Also need to fit the lamp cover jewels from your original single dash clocks to get correct warning lamp positions.

Well thought I'd update you all on what's been happening since October.
Had a Re-map done by Remap Science, he came out and did it.
All good there, seems to pull better and revs a bit higher too! :mrgreen:
Not done a max speed run yet! :mrgreen:
Installed a Ghia Mondeo interior light.
Image
Complete with Blue LED :mrgreen:

Then played about with a cone filter I had on my old Volvo estate!
Image
A bit crude, but it works well! :twisted: :twisted:
A better picture.
Image
Then completely removed the air box and tubes.

Well, seeing I've had 2 horns die on me, I decided to fit some aftermarket ones.

Fitting's a bit crude, but I did fit them in a rush! :evil: :evil:

Looking very good.
Could you give a bit more info on those airhorns - where did you get them, where they hard to fit?

Thanks
Technik

Thanks fellas! :mrgreen: 8)
Technik, the airhorns I got from a Motor Shop near me, and they were relatively easy to fit.
Just finding somewhere to fit them was a challenge! :mrgreen:

So, finally fitted the front fog lights! :mrgreen:

Then sourced a fog light switch off eBay, cheers painter4! 8)

Image

Connected to the wiring to make it work! Lights up with the side lights.
Went to Maplins and got some mini speaker connectors, fit the switch terminals and fog light terminals too!

Image

Best bit is they work! 8) :mrgreen:

Image

I do think they enhance the overall look of my van! 8) 8)

Kev, as far as I know there isn't a how to.
They were relatively easy to fit, as long as yo have a relay and an in-line fuse, you'll be ok! :D
If you need any help, let me know! :wink:

Quick update pic,
Image

Gave the roof a coat of black eggshell, not the best thing, but it seems ok!
Another coat will go on, in a couple of days, and I'll post another pic of that! :wink:
Taking shape! :mrgreen: 8) :D
