Combi Doug Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hi both. I'd love to have snapped the estate up too, but similarly Mark, funds and storage are the problem. If storage wasn't a problem I'd gladly have bought those diesel specific parts. I've collected a few of the less bulky spares over the course of time. I put my Fiesta back on the road earlier this year, so most of my 1.6D motoring has been in that, until such time I get a few jobs done on my Escort.

Rs Toy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi how's you have t been on here for a bit, would you know where I could get hold of header tank and air box for my escort mk4 diesel?

Combi Doug Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hi. Are you on FaceBook at all? Someone I know on the Escort group I post on has an air filter box. Can put you in touch with him if you like. Funnily enough it was he who spotted an identical 1.8D to yours the other week and put pics up. Thought it was yours until I noticed the only difference, which was a black spoiler on the rear hatch! Whilst I'm on here, for my fellow 1.6D enthusiasts, and you as a 3 door Popular owner, I've recently put a deposit on a mint 1.6D Popular. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Combi Doug Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi thanks for reply yes am on Facebook who's this chap ? Mine has a black spoiler too Hi. The chap is Robert Harper. He posts regularly on the 'Scorted mk3 mk4 Escort' group. You'll know you've found the right guy, as his profile pic currently has the Ford motif on it. Even better, I think he is in your area, and he is the one who took what must be photos of your actual car. It was the spoiler that threw me, as the first pics you put up a few months ago are pre spoiler! He loves the 1.8D and has three of them, albeit two are former petrol Mk3s that he has converted to diesel. I remember you selling the Eclipse. Always loved them. Your 3 door looks lovely under the bonnet. Similar to my soon to arrive 3 door 1.6 diesel. If I had the money and space I'd be contacting you, to add it to my fleet!

Combi Doug Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hi all, time to update the thread with my latest acquisition. Ish (Rs Toy) has already had a sneak preview of some pics! I have bought a very low mileage (11,000 miles) 1987 Escort 3 door Popular 1.6D. To say I am over the moon with my purchase is an understatement! It's mint! It was a dealership demonstrator, before being sold to its one owner, who had it until he passed away recently. It was obviously garaged all its life, hence its paintwork is amazing, as is its interior. A few marks on the driver's door sill, plus a little bit of lifting paint on a couple of wheel arch lips (hardly noticeable unless you bend down to look) suggest to me it was probably used regularly for a time, but on very short trips, and then dry stored for some years when it's owner was no longer able to drive. As you would expect with that mileage, it drives absolutely like new. There's not the slightest squeak, rattle or road noise, and of the two other 1.6 D Escorts I've owned or driven, it is slightly quicker.... or should I say less slow off the mark! Lol The engine bay is also near spotless, unlike my other Escort and Fiesta, which have surface rust. The only slight fault that has just developed is I have to stop the engine manually on the fuel pump (or stall it). Can only be the fuel solenoid shut off I assume, that has failed in the 'open' position. Had the same fault on my 1.8D, but it failed in the 'shut' position, which was the only time in 200k miles I had to call the AA out, and even then, 5 minutes later he got me going, after taking the plunger out! Should cost me less than 20 quid to sort, assuming it's not just a bad connection, which I've not checked yet. Anyway, time for some pics..... if Photobucket plays ball for a change! Nope, can't make it work on the Ipad, so back to the main computer, which isn't up to much. Sorry to leave you in suspense! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary.wharton Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I had one in the early 90s. I still have a load of spare parts I.e. drive shafts, head lights, even think fuel injection pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
