So i settled on a set of Proflow tuned headers only to be told they dont make them anymore, despite still being offered on the website.
Im still thinking i might take achance on the stainless ones as above and see how they fair.

Yeah i ahve insulated everything round the current headers with heat proofing. The floor used to get mega hot before i put in the sound deadner shit.

Are you running a manual or auto Dave?

Maybe these might be a better option

So im thinking of putting some new headers in the XC to dress it up a bit more as the current ones look pretty crap.
Has anyone used these?

Im not sure how close the XG and Xd are aligned with gearbox linkages etc being different trans and motor.
Basically i replaced the entire steering column with an adjustable XH column so i didnt have the gear selector on the column present.
I removed all the linkages form the column change from the steering column right down to the box.
The box for column and floor change are the same in the xg so i used an AU fairmont gear selector to actuate the gear select on the trans. I sourced a trans shifter hump and just started cutting the floor in the ute until i had removed enough to get clearance for the shifter to operate without removing to much metal. Screwed in the shifter hump and connected up the linkage.
All up took about 3 hours to complete. Wasnt very hard but everything just fitted which was nice for a change.

Just diff with calipers, possibly tailshaft for yoke and handbrake cable.

Interesting read on the A/C.
Mine stopped working in the XG just before summer. Car got real hot and the AC hasnt worked since. Still idles and drives fine though.
I had a look on the weekend and the AC relay is switching but the clutch on the compressor doesnt cut in at all. I checked the over temp cut out and that is in tact as is the wiring to it. I wasnt able to find the 12v to the compressor yet and gave up. Something ill follow up when i can be stuffed.
The whole engine will be pulled soon with the windsor going in.

Probably worth pulling it and checking the solder joints or replacing the relays, should be an easy enough job to do.

Just a thought, my ex brother in law had a mk1 escort and for ages he had the same issues. he ended up finding that he removed the fuel tank and upended it to clean it out. he found a seal from a metho bottle in there which was covering over the fuel outlet intermittently.

The relays are in the BCM i believe Sparky Dave is saying. It will be a red box about 6 inches long, 4 inches wide and 1 inch thick.

Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key on?

Xh Ute 2 inch drop and wider wheels.
