Hello and welcome.

Can you clarify exactly what you are after, is it the bumper covers for the washers or the complete washer jet/pipes etc?

There are three different types of covers.

As for your rear shocks, is it a saloon or an estate, they are different.

The compressor system is quite a rare set up, i only know of three people that have it fitted.

p.s. my alarm bells are ringing, is it definitely a Scorpio and not a Granada??

Hello
Thank for your reply
So i need the complete system i only have the pump left and some plumming and i need it for a 1995 sallon Scorpio :D
So this answer the second question of air compressor which is located in the front below the left headlight
I need the shocks to recondition them to make the system work
Kind regards Radu

Monroe kit LA355 fits Scorpio and Granada saloons,less than half the price of Ford units and just as good.They are honestly not worth trying to repair as the airbags perish with time and the pistons and shafts wear out.

Hello
Can you be absolutly sure that LA355 from Monroe are the ones with air nozzle?
And yes broken and stollen the front Headlamp washers :(((
So please help me out with the washers and if you can with some old rear shocks with air nozzle on the side
Kind regards Radu

Yes LA355 are pneumatic assisted shockers,you would need to cut the Ford connection off as the Monroe has a simple O ring connector directly onto the pipe.I have fitted many pairs of these on my hearses and limousines.

LA355 is the Monroe kit  number,you get two units a gauge with Schraeder valve and a length of pipe and O rings,the kit is intended as a complete retro fitment for trailer towing etc.

Kind regards Radu

Hello
So you need a tool to crack open the rear diff
From procedure 152546 from TIS, Diff bearing adjusting wrench 15-071 to be more precise
Kind regards Radu
Title: Re: Scorpio Bits headlamp whasers + shocks
Post by Highlander on May 5th, 2010, 10:12am
Ah so you are swapping the internals of the diff?

I just swap the complete diff usually :)
Title: Re: Scorpio Bits headlamp whasers + shocks
Post by maddogul on May 5th, 2010, 10:44am
Yes just changing the drive pinions to maintain ratio and to be sure that they are in top shape :D
So it works to change only the crown wheel from this assembly and put it back in the case
From the 2.0 diff i took only the drive pinions and mounted my 3.64 ratio crown whell :D
Kind regards Radu
Title: Re: Scorpio Bits headlamp whasers + shocks
Post by Highlander on May 5th, 2010, 10:50am
Still confused... :D

You have a 24v saloon and replaced the two drive pinions with the ones from a 2 litre?
Title: Re: Scorpio Bits headlamp whasers + shocks
Post by maddogul on May 5th, 2010, 10:52am
Hello
I swaped the hole part (where the drive oinions are) there just removed from my old diff the wheel plate and mounted on the 2.0 part and then mounted back in my 2.9 diff case
Kind regards Radu

I have a strong feeling there can't be much variation in actual sensors, I would place a bet on a cheap, generic chinese £15 kit on ebay just to try if it works. (Rob sensors from the kit and use the car's "own" logic fro the beeping that is)

Post by maddogul on May 6th, 2010, 7:08pm
@scorpioworld million thanks
@tlundkvi second million-1 thanks :D i will try the only problem that i see is the dimensions of the newseste sensors and if you know the originals are with 3 wires or with 2?
Kind regards Radu
