That said, I'd obviously take the opportunity to revamp a lot of the
rest of the car as well. It gets damp inside (possibly door seals,
probably boot seal, certainly rear window), and it's been suffering
electrical gremlins, so I might just try a complete loom swap (maybe
using the Mondeo loom).
This loom has been hacked about for the ERST installation, and I don't
want to compound the problems with further modifications for a diesel
lump.
Using the complete Mondeo loom would be a lot of work, the dash switchs
and the instrument cluster won't be compatible with the Mondeo loom,
along with almost everything else electrical needing plugs changing and
wires extending/shortening.
I'd use the Mondeo engine sub loom and graft that onto a unmolested
Fiesta loom.
It will only need a few wires joining between the looms.
I'm happy to help with the wiring.
Andy, which "lip" is it that needs modifying? Are we talking about at
the bottom/front of the bay? As long as it's not one of the
structural parts at the sides of the bay, it sounds straightforward
enough.
It is the "rail" along the side of the engine bay.
It needs to be cut away and recreated further up (or is it down).
What happens with the fuel tank. Does the diesel injection pump have
integral swirl pot? Could I fit a normal Fiesta tank in place of the
injection one I have now?
Not certain about the fuel tank, i believe the Diesel tank has a swirl
pot as well.
Does the intercooler need to be moved from its position at the
top/rear of the engine bay? It's pretty high there, must be fairly
close to the bonnet.
The Diesel saloons i've seen have used an Escort RS Turbo rad and
intercooler.
