Hi

had the new clutch and recon gearbox fitted to the starcraft...but the
speedo cable is fubar

still not sure on the engine, someone who has seen it says its a pug unit,
but branded as a ford and could be from a early tranny....the gearbox is a
type 9 longnose.

so would it still be possible to get one of these? i dont have a engine
number,....bah

cheers

It's the type 9 bit that's significant, so a 5 speed seirra cable should  
fit.

thanks, i wasnt sure if both ends matched up, say same box but mated to a
diff engine..

i need to find out why the temp gauge doesnt work also, its a diesel engine,
maybe 2.4/2.5  so thats my next job..

whats the engine like? its noisy, but i have a 5k euro trip in a few months,
wondering if it has any weak points...never had a ford, never mind a diesel
before!

Brakes arnt too great, but then im using a T3 vw...feels much softer and not
as sharp..
