I am fairly sure all the mounts are the same. I sold my TD from my Escort van to someone who put it into a Fiesta so i would think it should be fairly straight forward.

Hope this helps

thanks for the reply,i have been reading about problems with diesel pump electrics needs to be re-wired and something to do with adding an extra wire from the loom or is this just if i change to a turbo diesel...

thanks again..

Yea if you upgrade to a TD there needs to be some changes to the loom for the starter motor, which i over came by linking it direct to a switch from the battery and the fuel pumps differ. But as your going to stick to the same aspiration it should be a straight swap.
