Rally Pack 2000

Wow our own brand of products. Go away for 2 weeks and the forum goes commercial!

Hey Everyone! I am home! Thanks for all your kind words it means so very much. Hard here at home, cant type very well or for long. Thanks to you all.

Hahahah bet you no British Mk2 ever won that one! 🤣🤣 Should I take it the new paint was successful and makes the car look 20 years younger? lol

First big show of the year as the car was away all year until recently. All Aussie day was for cars that were all local production or assembled here. Our Escorts were assembled here accounting for some unique features like large fuel tanks etc. And I even won a trophy! But ......... No hysterical laughing ok? Whats the exact engine capacity of a Std 2lt Pinto engine shown on my spec sheet on the car window? 🤣

Just moved you over to the parts wanted section

Can I have that kidney then? 😁

No Mk2 RS2000 in their collection? Holding out for an Aussie Rally Pack I suspect! 😄

A man of convictions definitely! You all know how I feel about Chinese car parts!

It was a tough job but someone had to do it. Hawaiian holidays can be a bit of a bummer though!

Still looks like its socialising in a paddock to me? 🤣

If you are managing a fleet, How often are you doing that?

The mobile mechanic guy did that but nothing came up. I dont think a 2007 Focus has very detailed diagnostics.

Thats a very interesting one! They did fit a kit that had the filter and pan gasket. the kit would have come with a filter O ring but they were so dodgy and slapshot that I wouldnt be surprised if they skipped fitting the O ring

Took my MK2 Focus 2lt Duratec Automatic into to have is rego check and got them to service it at the same time. But they stuffed everything, didnt even top up the coolant. It drove into their workshop fine. They changed the oil and the gasket on the auto transmission pan then returned it to the front carpark from the workshop and it wouldn’t come out of Park again without having to pop open the manual release tab and stick a pen in it. Ever since I have been trying to put it back the way it was before they ruined it. Ive changed the brake switches and checked the solenoid that lets you get it out of park when you put your foot on the brake. Is there anything they may have touched or damaged when taking the Auto Transmission pan off that keeps locking it into park giving me an Auto Transmission malfunction warning? Even a separate home mechanic I called to check it out is at a loss to figure out what was done to it to cause this? Any suggestions would be most welcome

Wow and inside scoop! So how is it? Hard or easy to work on? Are the belts very expensive compared to dry ones? Are there bit sof rubber from the belt in the oil?
