Re: 1995 2l manual transmission name?

The Haynes book says it is designated G25M-R but doesn't differentiate between 2l and 2.5l
The Ford book doesn't give a designation at all and the only differences mentioned are 3rd, 4th, 5th and final drive ratios differ between the engines.

Re: Struggling Starter Motor

I have never been a fan of lubricating the sliding bit of the starter, the lubricant picks up clutch dust to make a thick paste which makes matters worse. I would check and clean all the electrical connections first particularly the earth strap from engine to body, and the connection from battery to...

Re: Cruise Control

I posted them as 5 separate photos as I don't know how to do otherwise.
They are not in the right order but you should be able to turn them round and shuffle them.
Happy Christmas,
