well a couple of days ago i installed a shift kit in my EB but ever since i did the car never started? so i got a ford guy out to have a look he said he ECu was gone wich would of cost a bit to fix. well today i got the car towed to a auto elec and he found out strait away wat the prob was the starter motor wire was off becasue when i put in the **** kit i must of nocked the starter motor wire. silly me :(

Define "old"...

AUTS50 BTR suggests a relatively fresh (and tuff-ish) gearbox. Diffs are a lottery with how long they last. My 3.27 LSD was perfect when I swapped it for the 4.11s however I've heard of diffs not lasting 100,000kms from new.

Chuck a stally in her! :P

Sounds like it was much more than a hassle than it was really worth!!
