Title: Scorp Cosworth stuff into an Executive
Post by galahad on Jul 6^th, 2007, 6:27pm

I've got a 2.0 Scorpio Executive on a P plate, that failed the MOT on brakes and lower arms.

Are the discs and pads from a 2.9 V6 Cosworth Scorpio going to be a direct fit onto the 2.0?

Also, I've removed the Leather interior for the Executive, bearing in mind the Cosworth seats were fully electric, are there going to be any issues putting them into the Executive? Are all the plugs under the carpet?

Cheers

the disks wont fit, the cosworths have larger uprated brakes

seats should go straight in, mite need to add a few fuses into the fuse boxes. does the leather have the side impact air bags? if so then its doubt full your car will have the plugs for that

As pointed out, the brakes on the V6 engines are larger than the 4 cylinders (petrol or diesel) - you'd need to swap calipers, carriers, discs and pads. However, it's not that expensive to replace brake items. I bought the following a few days ago: solid rear discs (£9.14 each), 4x rear pads (£12.76), 2x rear calipers (£43.39 each). Those prices don't include VAT but you can get even cheaper if you shop around. I believe the lower suspension arms are quite expensive and an FMD-only part so it would be best to price these up first.

The leather seats from the Cossie will obviously fit, however the exec spec lacks the wiring to operate them. If you had electric height adjustment on the driver's seat then you've got power for the new driver's seat, however the memory function won't work. Also, the heated seats won't work as is as the loom under the centre console isn't present on the exec. There is an unused multiplug under the carpet beneath the passenger seat which may provide most of what you need (the loom for the centre console plugs into this on higher spec models), but you may have modify it slightly to suit.

I don't know who quoted you that, but when I went into a Ford Dealer, I was quoted £89+VAT

Ok, thats cool, the drivers seat does have the electric height adjustment, so thats the drivers seat sorted, I'm not fussed about the heated elements working, just so long as it tarts up the car so I can get it fixed, MOT'd and sold on, thats all I'm fussed about.
