JC Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 how did you manage that?? it was only rebuilt so long ago with lsd as well Driving down the motorway 5th gear died on me :-( after going bang, and it was at 70mph and under no stress :-( how did you manage that?? it was only rebuilt so long ago with lsd as well this is worrying lol........as ill be using the ib5 from my 1.6 with an rst lsd just like jc has! I miss my LSD, it think it was down to the knackered box that wayne sold me tbh, as the mechanic said the old diff was knackered and you would have noticed it when driven. Really annoyed with the car as had a new box fitted, a decent one from "blueovalrallyesport" - Tom, had the car back on the road 3 days and some has driven into it at work and driven off :-( and it has damaged metal :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 not thinking of getting rid, thinking of wrapping it in bubble wrap and leaving it in the garage.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 how bad is the damage jc?? shame about the box as you had a lot of bearings and seals replaced. maybe consider getting a diesel 5th gear? slightly longer ratio'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Any update on the damage dude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 how bad is the damage jc?? shame about the box as you had a lot of bearings and seals replaced. maybe consider getting a diesel 5th gear? slightly longer ratio'd It's very annoying! All the bearings and seals were replaced, just don't think it is worth getting it all re done again, although I notice the difference with no LSD! Any update on the damage dude? It has a dent on the rear corner and scuff to bumper. So after replacement gearbox fitted, car damaged was considering a body shop then the water pump died :-( the pump was only 4 years old!!! with the MOT/TAX/INSURANCE due in couple of months the damage repair is on hold :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 ive got a spare pump here you can have it you want man Thanks, but dumped it in the garage and asked them to sort it out, as wasn't 100% it was the pump at the time. It now runs a lot cooler!! Oh and replaced a dead bulb, I nearly had them off euro car parts, then saw ebay was much cheaper! http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac263/lordjc1983-2/Silver%20Escort/IMAG2990_zps9cd5beaa.jpg http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac263/lordjc1983-2/Silver%20Escort/IMAG2992_zps6f400877.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
