Only buy these parts from Ford.
We have attempted pattern parts before and ended up doing the job again in a few weeks. Never again would I buy, even thou they a third of the price of Ford a pattern housing. Not a bad job to do! Some of the lower pipes at the back need a bit of imagination to get the spring hose clip off. bout an hours work! |
