dalelc16 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thinking about buying an rs2000 but the car has not alternator fitted and needs a new fuse box. My questions are will any mk6 alternator fit and fuse box?Is it a pain to fit a new alternator to a rs2000? Also engine wise what do I need to look out for on these engines? Cheers to anyone that can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingeRS2K Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Don't think a Zetec one will fit. Get on off a Granada/Scorpio 90amp. Not that hard to fit, did mine without jacking car up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 i4 engines are normally pretty solid. but the chances are its been spanked for most of its life otherwise its just standard escort stuff really. check for rust check for rust and uuuh yeah check for rust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 There are quite a few different fuse boards, you'd need to get one with ideally the same part number as the original. I think the differences are down to the electrical spec, ie Electric windows, heatedscreen, eleictric wingmirrors all needed more relays and fuses etc You might find a Ghia one from the same age car is the same or similar enough to work.
