looks in very good condition. I'm guessing ex-police because of the Columba's or have you fitted 302's?

Looks nice, doesn't give away it's mileage at all. Not sure on the rear lights, do they really need that extra upper lamp led lighting on the estates?

I just think it looks a bit different just my own taste really.Not that keen on clear lights really bit of a seventy's car fan apart from the brick that's the exception.Love my classics do I.Lol

Looks very tidy, so what are the plans for mods apart from the ecu?
Post 427730 by yoda on 2011-11-19 20:06:58
Maybe some 18 inch wheels the paint is getting ready a few rusty bits to put right,i think a big thing is to put a remote central alarm system on it an old dear had it for most of its life in Didcot she spent thousands on it at the main dealers i have all the paper work to show. I want to do the ecu and possibly a dump valve and i know the gear box is past its best but it has no tracs and don't know how many are left out there might have to have it rebuilt (big cost!) I like to do most of the work myself if i can i did the clutch changed the steering column map sensor 302 discs all new pipe work radiator change new shocks and lowering springs. I think the camera does lie a bit though. Lol

I think Frank is referring to the V70 lights like mine (and smoked repeaters - so much nicer than the orange on the 850)...

the tracs system is done via the ABS, the gearbox is exactly the same for all t-5's (m56h)

what you will have to do tho is rewire the speed sensor. On your original 1993 gearbox the speedo will be taken from a seperate sensor on the gearbox, later cars the speed signal is taken via the ABS. You'll need to join the speedo sensor wires onto one of the ABS wheel speed sensors on the wheel hub
