Any bits you don't want , put them on a Granada/Scorpio site pretty please.
Frinstance the cosworth plastic covers in the engine bay a quite sought after, and if you are really stuck I can probably find a good home for some stuff (not me mines a 97 2.3 Estate)

Easy access,

Going....

Started to pull out the engine bay loom,hopefully tomorrow will see it out (if I'm not looking at cars!)

[transitandy]

VERY NICE

[mantav8]

Got the loom out,what a pig!-probably won't need it all but hey!

Also got these,only because I don't know what they are! LOL!-any idea's?
I wondered if the square 'box' was anything to do with the auto' box?

[OxtonyxO]

did you find the two fuses
and the box looks like the egr c**p

[Guy88]

Te square black thing is the exhaust pressre transducer and tother bit is the canister purge valve

Both are for emissions

As tony says you should have 2 fuses and 1 relay (red)

The 2 pin white plug thats by the servo on the granny is Power in (black) and tacho (green)

Then to make it run its 6 earths and 1 permanent live (plus the starter and ruel pump etc)

You'l find the fuel pump relay connections on one fo the plugs that was up under the dash

The other plugs under the dash are auto box connections

[mantav8]

Cheers guys,I took all the relays including the mount! LOL!-remeber mines going to be auto so anything else I need just shout!

ive been thinking about the cooling system again
what you need is a dohc rad then move the expansion tank to the right hand side
this would then match the rad and the 't' piece on the granny bottom hose

Cheers mate,tbh the plumbing etc don't worry me (been there,done that) if it's easier with a dohc rad then I'll buy a new un'!-got the scorp rad and fan to try first,if it's a pain it goes on Flea-bay,simple!
I'll be happy when the lumps in and running,owt' else is a doddle!
