I have been fortunate enough to come across Neil Adderidge, who I must say has the most knowledge of Ford Sierra and other historic parts going. For all parts Sierra/Granda/Escort vintage, and what will fit with what, and year. Phone him with your questions or parts you are looking for. Genuine, helpful guy, worth keeping a note of his number 07507683000. He's more than happy to help. I have told him that I would mention him on here?

He talked me out of a purchase, and helped me with the clutch pedal issue on my Hood + :)

      Engine Dilema
      By JabawokJayUK
      I'm after some advice.....
      I have a 2B whcih is running a Ford Zetec SE 1600 (Sigma) engine on a Megasquirt MS2 Extra Engine Management System. It has some modified delorto carbs (they are cut in half) acting as ITB's (sort of). It runs ok, and has apparently around 144bhp. Being a Zetec SE, the exhaust exit is on the Off-Side of the car making sourcing a 4-2-1 Manifold to replace the puny 4-1 that is in place difficult, and likely needing a custom fabrication job.
      So here is the dilemma!
      Recently I picked up a Zetec S (1700 Puma Engine) for a small amount of money. Its the same bolt pattern, orientation and footprint, but has better internals than the SE, eg Steel crank and rods etc. The original plan was to strip this engine, put some hot cams in it, add some bike ITB's, get some head work done (flow/ported, lifters, springs), and then drop it in as a straight swap with a new beefy 4-2-1 exhaust. The target being around 200bhp.
      Should I go this route, I can expect to pay £550 for cams, maybe another 200-300 on head work + the cost of a custom exhaust (I already have the ITB's), so maybe 2K all in.
      However, along the way I picked up a set of GSXR ITB's on an ST170 manifold ready to bolt straight on an ST170 duratec engine (I also have a set of ZXR12 ITB's that are bigger but that would need a manifold, which I intend to design and 3dprint in Carbon reinforced Nylon).
      So the thing is, given the duratec ST170 engine is the opposite orientation to the S & SE but the same orientation as the Zetec E (Blacktop), eg, "Exhaust on Nearside", there are far more 4-2-1 manifolds available off the shelf (and hopefully second hand) mitigating a potentially expensive custom fab job. Also, being a 2litre engine, with the ITB's and ECU I already have, I am pretty sure 200bhp is achievable without touching the head or opening the engine. Add to that the fact that a decent s/h engine can be had for 300-400 and I could potentially hit the 200bhp target for about 1K, but that excludes any subsequent conversion work I have to do on the gearbox hookup, engine mounts and bodywork.
      I already plan to strip the car back to the chassis this winter, and therefore the engine is coming out regardless so while the S is an easier job, fitting something different is not a deal breaker.
      Thoughts, opinions, advice all welcome!

      Wanted Zetec 1.8.
      By PaulB49
      Hi, my 1.8 Zetec has died. Anyone out there got a spare one lying about they want rid of.
      Summer is fast approaching and I cant let her sit this one out.
       
      Thanks.

      Does Anyone Recognise This Engine Mount?
      By TruffleHunter
      Hi Guys,
       
      Does anyone recognise this engine mount and where I can buy another? It fractured when my 2.0l Zetec backfired and I'd rather replace than repair. I've had a good look at the usual sites but not found it.
       
      Thanks in advance,
      Pete

      Sierra Wiper Motor Only Single Speed But Needs Two.
      By LezLezLez
      Hi,
      I . I bought my Exmo as an unfinished project which had failed its IVA on many points including this one.
      2. The wiper motor fitted is likely to be a standard 1984 Sierra model as all other parts are from this one donor.
      3, It only offers two settings - off and single speed. The IVA needs 2 speeds for a pass. I have just started investigating wiring / loom / Haynes Manual # 903, but things don't look promising.
      4. Has anyone else had this problem? Can you confirm this wiper motor in fact offers two speeds? The Haynes Manual has next to nothing on this component apart from a confusing wiring diagram.
      Thanks for you help in advance,
      Geoff.
