Hi

Can anyone tell me if a smiley front grill from a MK 4 will fit a 1989 MK 3 transit and if so what is involved also what is involved with fitting a 2.5 turbo engine to a non turbo 1989 MK 3 will the gearbox fit etc etc

Many thanks Paul.

I brought a new clutch last year and the guy at ford said it was a bigger plate

, but then again it was ford

i think you will find there are 2 different clutches one a heavy duty the other a normal

both fit either td or n/a

i remember there being 2 choices and there was only £10 in it
