Seemingly the asylum seekers lawyers tell them that converting gives them a better chance of it being granted.

Budget for a paint job.

The V6 mundano was either a 2.9 or 3.0 IIRC, so a bit disappointing.

2.5 24V Duratec V6, I believe. The godawful 12v V6s were dead and buried by then.
Butchered Mazda lump as seen in the Ford Probation.

The 2.8i Cologne was pretty handy in the Xr4x4, but that didn't weigh much over a ton. And with a 5 speed and LSD was pretty effective in the MK2 Granada too. >:D

The 2.9 24v was a totally different animal and with the weight advantage would keep a full fat Omega in check.

I have in the past tried to find out what the rules are, as far as a mot, if one doorlock  is not working with the remote.
Irrelevant as long as the door handle works inside and out. Removing the CL motors simply stops the remote control from operating the locks. As long as the key works in the driver's door, and ideally the passenger door (pre facelift had a lock cylinder on both sides. Retrofitting this to a facelift should be easy enough.

On a facelift saloon you may want to keep the remote access to be able to pop the boot from outside the car (irrelevant on pre facelift and estate as long as the key operates the mechanical lock), but this should still work even if the front door motors are removed. Easy enough to test.

Whilst experimenting, leave at least one window open just in case.

MK1/2 Mundeo had the 2.5. the 3.0 didn't appear until the Mk3 and was a similar performer to the C25xe ;)

Can't speak to the other options as 9 of my first 12 cars were Fords (7 Granada MK2/3 and 2 Sierras) the other three were a 1.6 Pug 405, a 2.0 Renault 25 and a 1.3 Polo :-[

The RS2000 had 150bhp (retuned from the 8v lump in the MK3 Granada/Sierra), but the 2.0 Zetec lump was 135/140 iirc.

The Zetec S 170 in the Focus didn't appear until the MY2000 facelift.

The V6 Mundeo was 170bhp all day long.

Mercedes had 185bhp fuel injected twin cam straight six from the early 70's but mainstream stuff took a while to catch up.

The Honda 1.8 revved to about 8k so not sure if that counts  >:D


Long time ago now, but, my 1991 Sierra 2.OGLX came with a DOHC lump that made it pretty quick.

Can't remember how much power it made now, but I think around 125BHP.
That rings a bell, same as the Granada. Mechanically the RS2000 lump was the same... When the head went on my L reg Scorpio I did consider the RS2000 head thinking it would be different...  ::)

maybe they had 72 virgins close to their 'use by date'   :-\
 I'm not sure how it works , I haven't read the Quran
I think you'll find that it reads much like the Old Testament the Torah... Boy meets girl, the realise they're naked and chaos ensues... Fast forward a few generations and some chap with a beard had to sacrifice his son to appease some angry bloke with a beard and an anger management problem... (Sidenote... Is he short and ginger :-\) Son of sacrificed son (don't ask, it made no sense to me either) invades Egypt. They get upset and got chased across the Red Sea and Israel was created.

The rest, as they say, is history.

A central locking motor delete and retro fit a mechanical passenger door lock could future proof it...

Why does C-L-I-O become clit? ::)
Remember Nicole? Well, she had both >:D

Quite a lickable clit if I remember the adverts correctly.
Indeed  >:D

Likeable too :D

The pumps are engine specific... V6/4pot petrol/4pot diesel/6pot diesel.

Without knowing what engine your car has it would be a guess as to the correct pump.

:o You can just imagine the sense of panic on the bridge of the ship  :o
Even worse on the actual bridge.
From the video the traffic over the bridge was fortunately exceptionally light, another 4/5 hours later it could have been a veritable disaster  :-\
