1.6 LITRE TURBO CHARGED EFI ENGINE, PROFESSIONALLY FITTED IN 2003 BY POWER ENGINEERING. WITH RECEIPT TO PROVE. TURBO WAS CHANGED FOR A NEW TURBO TECHNICS UNIT FROM TURBO TECHNICS IN 2009, WITH RECEIPT OF £425.25.THE ENGINE HAS HAD A RECENT REBUILD DUE TO VALVE STEM OIL SILLS LEAKING. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES NO EXPENSE WAS SPARED. I CHANGED EVERYTHING. THE HEAD WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT WHICH INCLUDED REGROUND VALVE SEATS, NEW VALVE STEM OIL SILLS, HEAD WAS SKIMMED, NEW HYDRAULIC TAPPETS. THE BLOCK AND PISTONS WERE BOTH CLEANED AND CHECKED. BEARINGS WERE CHECKED AND NEW HEAD GASKET AND SILLS WERE ALL REPLACED. NEW CAMBELT AND WATER PUMP AND HOSES WERE FITTED AND NEW MOBILE 1 OIL AND FILTER. THIS ENGINE IS THE QUIETEST RS TURBO ENGINE I HAVE HEARD, WITH NO RATTLES OR KNOCKS OR SMOKE. THE ENGINE HAS A SAAB 9-5 TURBO INTERCOOLER. IT RUNS ON STANDARD BOOST AT 8PSI IT RUNS 167BHP WITH PROOF. IVE GOT IT SET AT 11PSI WHICH IS ABOUT 175BHP. THE ENGINE STARTS ON THE KEY EVERY TIME WITH NO PROBLEMS.

THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS A STRAIGHT THROUGH TO REAR BOX STAINLESS/MILD STEEL. REAR BOX IS A SAPPHIRE COSWORTH STAINLESS STEEL BOX. GIVES GREAT SOUND, BUT NOT TOO LOUD.

GEARBOX IS A MARK 5 ESCORT 1.8 LITRE 5 SPEED WITH NO LSD, DUE TO THE FACT THAT LSD BLOWS UP ALOT OF THE TIME WITH HIGH POWERED RS TURBOS, WAS A SAFER MORE RELIABLE CHOICE DUE TO EXPERIENCE. HAS JUST HAD ALL NEW GEARBOX/ENGINE MOUNTS CHANGED AND NEW CLUTCH CABLE FITTED. THE GEAR LINKAGE IS QUITE FLOPPY BUT IT IS USUAL FOR THESE CARS.

WHEELS ARE WOLFRACE 17 X 7 ALLOY WHEELS IN BLACK, SOME KERB MARKS BUT TO BE EXPECTED FROM EVERY DAY USE. ALL TYRES HAVE GOOD TREAD. TYRE SIZE IS 215 40 17. THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE ARE SIERRA COSWORTH 4X4 ALL ROUND. IN 2010 THE FRONT AND REAR DISC BRAKES AND PADS AND BEARINGS WERE CHANGED. THE BRAKES ARE AS SHARP AS A SIERRA COSWORTH I KNOW BECAUSE I OWN ONE.

SUSPENSION FRONT KONY ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBERS WITH LOWERING SPRINGS. REAR FLIPPED REAR AXLE ON TOP OF LEAF SPRINGS INSTEAD OF UNDERNEATH WITH UPRATED SHOCKS.

INTERIOR IS A MARK 5 DASHBOARD WITH CENTRE CONSOL AND XR3I CLOCKS AND STEERING WHEEL. THE SEATS ARE XR3I WRAP AROUND. IS GOOD CONDITION WITH NO TEARS OR BURNS. INTERIOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION APART FROM THE RUSTY DOOR SPEAKER COVERS WHICH I HAVE REPLACEMENTS FOR. THE DASHBOARD HAS A TIM BOOST GAUGE FITTED WITH CLIFFORD LED ALARM AND STEREO IS A JVC CD PLAYER WITH MP3 CONNECTION PORT AND IS CONNECTED TO AN ALPINE 10" SUBWOOFER AND AMP FITTED IN THE BACK. IN THE BACK OF THE VAN I HAVE RECENTLY RELAYED NEW FOAM FLOORING AND GIVEN THE WHEEL ARCHES A PAINT OF HAMMERITE AND A GOOD CLEAN UP. THERE IS ALSO A NEW 12VOLT FLOURESCENT LIGHT THAT COMES ON WHEN YOU OPEN THE BACK DOORS. LIGHTS UP VERY BRIGHT AND VERY HANDY. ALL IN ALL THE INTERIOR IS VERY RESPECTABLE. BOTH DOORS HAVE WORKING CENTRAL LOCKING AND WINDOWS. THE VAN HAS A CLIFFORD ALARM SYSTEM WITH KEY FOB.

BODYWORK IS A MARK 5 ESCORT VAN WITH RS 2000 FRONT BUMPER. BONNET IS GENUINE ESCORT COSWORTH. WING MIRRORS ARE XR3I. RECENTLY FITTED ESCORT COSWORTH DEBADGED GRILL BUT NOT SPRAYED. REFER TO PICTURES. BEFORE I BROUGHT THE VAN THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD RESPRAYED THE VAN IN FROZEN WHITE, WHICH WAS NOT VERY GOOD JOB. SO I HAVE STARTED TO BUFF THE BODY BACK TO GLOSS AS I FEEL IT IS A BETTER LOOK. I HAVE NOT FINISHED THIS BUT ITS NOT A HARD JOB FOR THE NEXT OWNER TO DO IF THEY PREFER THE GLOSS LOOK. THE BODY WORK FOR THE VAN IS IN AVERAGE CONDITION FOR A VAN AND ITS AGE. THERE ARE A FEW SLIGHT DENTS AND SCRATCHES BUT NOTHING MAJOR AS AGAIN IT IS A VAN.

ALL THE ELECTRICS ON THE VEHICLE WORK AS THEY SHOULD.

THE CAR COMES WITH BEIGE FUEL INJECTORS AND 195 SUPER CHIP OFAB AND AN ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. IVE NEVER FITTED THESE AS I THINK THE VAN HAS AMPLE POWER.

THE VAN IS REGISTERED AS AN ESCORT DIESEL VAN CHASSIS WITH A PETROL ENGINE. SO IT IS ALL LEGAL.
