Ford’s Zetec E engines came with a plastic thermostat housing which had a tendency to leak. Fortunately, Burton Power has the remedy in the form of a heavy duty replacement thermostat housing made from cast aluminium instead of the usual plastic.

The aluminium housing is a direct replacement on ‘silver top’ engines. The housing can also be used on ‘black top’ engines by using Screw-in Coolant Sensor XTT221 and Sender Blanking Bung FP503. (The screw-in coolant sensor is far more reliable than the factory push-in type).

Order the thermostat housing as part number PROPCB2 at £51.95 (inc VAT)

Suitable for ‘silver top’ engines in: Ford Escort Mk5/6, Fiesta Mk3, Mondeo Mk1/2 and can be fitted to ‘black top’ engines in: Mondeo Mk2, Focus Mk1 and Ford Cougar 2.0 1998–2002.

The Burton Thermostat Housing is supplied without a thermostat, but a thermostat can be purchased from Burton as part No. QTH578K at £9.50 inc. VAT.

Certain Ford models used a two piece propshaft instead of the more usual single shaft. A strong vibration and drumming from under the middle of the car is fair warning that the centre bearing is failing and is not to be ignored.

Fortunately, Burton has just added its own replacement centre bearing to its extensive range of parts to help keep classic Fords where they should be – on the road..

This bearing is a faithful reproduction of the original and can be ordered as part number PROPCB2 at £51.95 (inc VAT).

Suitable for :
All Sierra models (except Cosworth and 4wd), plus, Escort Mk5/Mk6 1.6, 1.8 16v, XR3i 4×4, RS2000 4×4 and Consul/Granada/Scorpio.
