Welcome to my blog, detailing my journey to build a 2.0L Zetec based Westfield SEIW

IVA Mods


  • Emissions were too high  - Omex sent a new calibration map / Lamda probe, also replaced plugs, leads and coil pack to cure misfire, checked at local MOT garage.
  • Exhaust noise was above the 99db threshold - hopefully connected to above emissions and misfire 
  • Parking brake needs adjusting as there's too much travel on the handbrake and the braking power wasn't strong enough - adjusted (this involved removing tunnel carpet)
  • Speedo was over reading - adjusted pulse setting to -15% of 'correct' setting 
  • Full beam headlight on one side wasn't changing over properly (sticky solenoid) - cleaned solenoid and adjusted lights at local MOT garage
  • Gear box earth cable not connected
  • Rear view mirror vibrates - replaced mirror with dash mounted one
  • Starter motor electrical connections require rubber terminal boots - covered



Hopefully this is enough to satisfy the tested - re-test booked for Monday 11th July
