At least I can get reliable and accurate info quickly, and have a good laugh at some of the banter that gets thrown around. Banter throwing ... not unlike dwarf tossing, only uses chickens instead. :o Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1503-engine-bay/page/2/#findComment-42341 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 2m Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 12/08/03 04:31 AM Share Posted 12/08/03 04:31 AM Well, apart from the hijacking of this thread by 'Ol Reliable' (Ken) :D I too have had the black rubber bits from the belt, but it is a lot less now (8k on clock).The rubber and plastic bits get armour all about once every 2 months and the bay gets a wipe down, does'nt get really dirty just a bit of good ol WA sand here and there. If I've got a bit of Meguire's wax on the applicator I run that around the edge of the bonnet and painted bit on the rocker cover.Yeah the rusty nuts on the pully's is a bit average for this car but I suppose you could swap them for stainless steel ones, cheap fix maybe.

You'd be lucky getting me to wash the outside, let alone the internals (first wash two weeks ago since pick-up in March).

Guest StevoD Guests Posted 13/08/03 12:46 AM Share Posted 13/08/03 12:46 AM Hi NT how ya doin'Every wash I wipe out the engine bay (and the boot) - it is just all part of the job. I suspect that the phantom shows the dirt a bit more than the blueprintcheersStevo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1503-engine-bay/page/2/#findComment-42775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
