Defective

Doubtful. should fit perfect.

Yeah, will attempt to glue in the old one for now, but I appear to have talked myself into an upgrade over the last few days.   Besides, a unit with Bluetooth would be nice.....!
 
As most cars come with integrated music systems these days, I've found the hard way looking in brick-and-mortar stores there's not nearly as much demand for headunits these days, as the older cars slowly die out. Bit of a shame, really: how do modern car-owners customise their systems?

Haven’t seen a removable face headunit for years. They’re just not needed anymore.

I’d just use some glue and fix the current one, unless you’re set on a modern unit.

Can get a quite decent unit for under $100 these days.

Yeah super lows have them sitting on the bumpstops.

You know, that’s exactly why so many of us older guys ran air shocks back in the day...

Could Escorts even tow trailers?
I dunno the 1300 would like that...

As someone who’s owned a lot of escorts over the years I’ll just say you’re gonna drive yourself nuts chasing every little vibration or rattle. I learnt early on to ignore them unless they get worse.

You fix one and it just means you can hear or feel another one.

It’s looking mint now, those wheels are perfect imo

It’s a pretty slow speed You have to maintain for the Mavic to follow, good way to get some great shots though.

If it's late xf ea/b/d seats will bolt in. Early xf nothing just bolts in.

Yeah people go insane over them

." Ermagawd, there's a drone hovering 300m away from me, I think they're perving on me" 

We were watching a dude with a phantom 4 in the weekend, looks like so much fun. Those p4s are damned loud though. Way louder than a Mavic.

Mavic pro? I'm trying to justify buying one myself haha.

One thing i always see with watermarks, is people do as you have and put them down in a corner like that. 

and the first part that gets cropped out if someone uses your pic for something. 

Wheels make a car, and these are gonna look sick on the escort. 

On on the mcm front, that episode made me contact barrel bros about my modenas. Hopefully some,progress soon on that front.

also think those concordes came with sixteen x 8 nice mesh alloy wheels that are very hard to find ,im pretty sure they are an american rim for the crown victoria i have seen a few movies with those exact wheels on american cars,i dont have a picture of them but they look awsome like bbs style.

There the series 2 Concorde rims, series one had the cameltoe rims. 

There is no fairlane Concorde, just the fairlane ghia Concorde, and yes, they got the xr6 motor.

Yep I’m using a super cheap suv cover on my pano.

Main thing with any cover is to take them off every few weeks and let the air get in there and dry out any moisture.

I've really gotta get one of those front spoilers... Need to get that money tree to bear fruit.

Yeah hasnt really been any progress on Xderm from what i herd last from Glenn ( XM221). I believe it was covered over and left.

Shane did buy a Chestnut XE ESP and last i saw on ESPghia ages ago he was focused on that.

That was a few years ago now though.

I heard it got umm, dealt to by a disgruntled associate of Shane's and will probably never see daylight again. 

Such a shame given the amount of work put into it.

I was just gonna drain it so it didn’t piss everywhere when I pull the drive shaft out. Might be easier to drain it that way haha

I don’t care

About the box, it will probably end up as scrap

Loosen the pan , try to drop one corner down into a drain tray . 

Thanks I suspected that was the way. It's gonna be messy I think.

How do I drain the oil in my auto? I couldn't see any drain plugs when I was under there. Is it just a case of undoing the pan and letting it come out? Or can I undo one of the coolant lines and drain it that way?

I use machine oil, never fails!

I squirt it down the bores, dump a lot in the pan as well, take the rocker cover off and coat everything in there with machine oil, take oil filter off and coat all the crap in there and take dizzy out and squirt some in there as well. I have an engine that it's been apart for about 18 months now and not event the slightest sign of rust and it's not even packaged up or anything, just bare block and crank, pistons etc. all coated in machine oil and it's all good

The pic was taken on Moss St ?

Yep, moss st, obviously before autobahn became Napa.

Il have maybe two unwanted crossflows to get rid of haha...definitely one anyway. Mine wouldnt cost you anything like $100 either. (I thought that's what a decent runner was worth these days haha)

+1 for autosol.... In this age of 11ty billion different brands autosol is still the one to use.

If your near Ipswich I'll pop by and do it on Saturday. Gotta do the fire up of a customer engine down there on Saturday.
