  1. Yesterday
  2. Thank you. It was formerly my mother's vehicle, which I operated during my adolescence; it had familial significance.
  3. I hope the reconstruction proceeds successfully. Consistently utilise kits designed expressly for the engine/carburetor combination. The distinctions may be minor, yet they might be substantial.
  4. Thank you. The kit appears to be identical to the one in the link I provided, but it is being sold by a different vendor on eBay. The eBay option is indeed pricier but offers shipping to numerous locations...
  5. There existed The Mk1 Fiesta XR2 employed a 1.6 variant of the Kent Crossflow engine, while the Mk2 Fiesta XR2 utilised the 1.6 CVH engine. With the introduction of the Mk3 Fiesta, the XR2 was equipped with fuel injection, resulting in the XR2i designation.
  6. Can someone confirm that this kit is suitable for all versions, from HCS 1.1 to XR2?
  7. https://fastroadcars.co.uk/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=338
  8. Indeed! I mistakenly conflated it with the 1.6 CVH; my apologies for the error. Interestingly, a certain website includes "XR2" in its compatibility list, suggesting the existence of an earlier XR2 Mk2 Fiesta equipped with a carburettor.
  9. The XR2i lacks a carburettor, so no carburettor will be compatible. The XR2i first employed the fuel-injected 1.6 CVH engine until transitioning to the 1.8 Zetec in the early 1990s. I'm pretty sure they were both EFI engines rather than the Bosch K-Jetronic that was used on the 1.6 CVH used for the XR3i up to 89. The 'I' in XR2i denotes injection; might it be that you are confusing the XR2 with the XR2i? The XR2 was equipped with a carburettor on the 1.6 CVH engine.
  10. Greetings to all. I wish to communicate and seek counsel regarding my findings on carburettor kits for the Weber TLD (M). Several websites list carburettor kits designated as compatible with the XR2i and other Fiesta variants equipped with 1.3 and 1.1 HCS engines. However, upon examining the Haynes handbook, the carburettors appear to exhibit tiny variations. The XR2i version is the TLD, lacking the "M" at the end. The M version appears to be installed longitudinally based on my findings, suggesting that certain variants of the XR2i may have featured it. Additionally, an examination of the specifications in the Haynes manual reveals minor discrepancies in nozzle dimensions and final calibrations. However, it is possible that the carburettors are fundamentally identical and that the same O-rings and gaskets are applicable. Additionally, it is crucial to enquire about the diaphragms; many kits may lack these. Are the sizes identical between the TLD and TLDM models? I sincerely appreciate your support and wish you all well.
  11. Was it the primary water pump or the auxiliary pump adjacent to the coolant reservoir? I had previously ordered one of them to replace mine, as it appeared aged and likely not in optimal shape. Thank you
  12. I encountered analogous issues, albeit with an older model. The driver's side would emit warm air quite immediately, whereas the passenger side took an extended period, possibly 30 to 60 minutes into the voyage. This would vex Mrs. F on wintry mornings. I replaced the water pump, which subsequently addressed the issue with the dual valve that had begun leaking and appeared to have been malfunctioning for some time. Issue resolved.
  13. My Carsoft is not displaying any codes; I should have noted that. I am aware it is not definitive, but it is generally rather reliable.
  14. Initially, I would address any outstanding concerns you own. Subsequently, have the codes interpreted. This may promptly direct you to the correct item. for example My W251 climate control was malfunctioning. The item was scanned; it was brief and involved the replacement of a cable. Everything is satisfactory. Cognitive processes incur significant costs.
  15. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=actuator&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512X8f3d6864b9059875b62e33136e23e54b&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
  16. 2013 C220 W204 Cabin blowers are exclusively emitting hot air on the driver's side and rear. The passenger remains comfortable when exposed to heat. However, it becomes colder when set to the cold and air conditioning mode. Significantly disparate. The coolant has been replenished to the appropriate level. The cabin lacks coolant, however there is a gradual leak from an unidentified source, necessitating a monthly top-up. Suspected issues with the radiator and evaporation or a related phenomenon. I have frequently purged the engine to eliminate any air locks. I suspect the blend door actuator may be the problem. Does anyone possess experience with analogous situations and have devised a solution?
  17. Last week
  18. Please verify the spacing of the nut holes initially. I discovered this for my own: Centre Bore / Hub Bore: 63.4 millimetres Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5x108 (5x4.25)
  19. I greatly appreciate your thorough response. I was certain that I had encountered an advertisement for a 19” spacesaver, but I could not locate it. I will now proceed to purchase a 19” RH, thank you.

  21. I contend that a larger tyre sidewall results in greater instability during cornering. I researched a 19" and discovered Road Hero. While they advocate for their 18" option for the Evoque, I discovered that they offer a 19" variant that is, in fact, more comparable in diameter to the 18". I utilised Tire Size Comparison for verification. My tyre dimensions are 245/45/20. Diameter of 729 mm. Circumference: 2289 mm. The Road Hero RH235, featuring a 155/80/19 specification, has a diameter of 732 mm. Circumference: 2294 mm. The recommended model for my vehicle is the RH086, with a size of 155/85/18, resulting in a diameter of 721mm. Circumference: 2263 mm. A 19" size is superior and provides a more precise fit. I further assert that the RH235 possesses the appropriate wheel nut apertures for Range Rover.
  22. All the LR space savers measure 18 inches. If you have encountered a 19", it is likely not an authentic LR component. The wheel diameter is irrelevant, as the appropriate tyre ensures the outer diameter remains consistent. Consequently, you may accommodate wheels ranging from 17" to 21" on your vehicle; the distinction lies in the tyres.
  23. I am uncertain about your statement regarding β€œthey're all 18.” If you are alluding to the Spacesaver wheel, your assertion is incorrect, as I have encountered 19” Spacesavers during my search, albeit infrequently. I opted for an 18” due to an immediate necessity. Thank you for your comment.
  24. All are 18-inch; rim size is inconsequential. Examine various posts on this platform! The search button is a valuable tool.
  25. Yes, a taller tyre maintains the same diameter.
