Are the washer jets heated Paul? Do you know if theres a non heated version and what the part number is? My misses has the mist type jets on her car and they're miles better.

Yes these are Heated see below for parts no's

I haven't got ones specifically for the connect. I've got ones for a c max or s max or something.

They aren't bad but still not got round to wedging them up to spray more central.

If Paul's ones specifically for the connect work better then I think I'll swap for those.

Yes these are specifically for Connects

NON HEATED washer Jets - Ford Part No F5148413

More work done,

Power steering pump with all associated pipes installed.

Just have to make up a mounting bracket if Ford doesn't have one for reservoir, as early connects don't have it.



This is where ABS/ESP pump will be fitted (below engine bay fuse/relay panel), That is once I get the Last brake pipe from pump to rear wheel. I've got in the rest fitted.



New fuel pipes fitted along with turbo, intercooler & all associated hoses & radiator head tank - Require new Diesel filter (with water sensor)



Work in engine bay nearly complete

[paul2012]

Refitted O/S driveshaft, & replaced O/S Hub for one with ABS

Just require mounting brackets for Sensor wiring. + new set of discs & pads for the front.




Also looked behind O/S wing for mounting points for ECU plate on inner wing.
As you can see, there isn't any Another thing not fitted to early connects





The basic shell/chassis my look the same for all models from the outside. But underneath there are minor differences between models from 2003-2006 & 2006-2009 then a few more changes to 2009 onwards

While waiting for a couple of parts to complete engine bay, I decided to crack on with the next job

Stripped the interior out along with dash One way to get the floor a clean, it's a mess.
At least it's bone dry inside



Strange thing is the Body wiring loom that normally runs from the dash to rear, only goes as far as the seatbelts
Now I know what the wiring was I chopped through when removing old engine bay loom. It runs underneath down the middle, above the fuel tank & goes through a gommet in both rear wheel wells for the rear lights

It has been well used inthe back, could do with repainting. No point as I will eventually board it out.



Old loom removed except for the section for interior lights & rear door lock which runs along the top on O/S & gave it a quick clean.

Nice work and it's good to see the engine in. Inside the floors look good to me

Thanks, getting there slowly.

Yes the floors are solid, I was expecting to find some previous signs of water damage. Fortunately there isn't any, even the insulation padding is still in great shape

[paul2012]

Today fitting most of the 2007 body wiring loom, just need to fit the rest that goes to interior lights & rear door lock. (The loom coiled up & hanging in pic below)



Also grabbed another bargain from Ebay. Rear handbrake cable for rear disc brakes Genuine Ford part for £29

[paul2012]

Fitted rest of body loom for interior lights & rear door lock into place



Also refitted floor insulation to foot wells

[paul2012]

Now I have a question

I know on 2003-2006 connects the wiring for rear lights & sender unit (in fuel tank) runs down the middle under the vehicle.

At what point/location does the wiring for sender unit goes through the floor on connects from 2006 onwards

This is wiring below for sender unit.

There is some insulation glued to Forward roof liner, Most of the noise is from the rear roof - Wait until you get a big hail storm, it will sound like you're flying an old WWII bomber through flak



I still have the original rear roof insulation in my connect with stops the condensation during winter (Still available from Ford)

[paul2012]

Now lets gets this floor cover cleaned



Now that's a transformation



Wondering what I used



Bang & the dirt is gone ! it did the job, I think I will use it to clean inside the rear

Finally got round to removed old trim tape off the sides where old trims where once fitted.
Perfect tool for the job, a Toffee wheel





Just needs a goods clean to get rest of road grime off & buff to finish.
