Hi there,
My name is Steve. Just joined up because i am starting to once again, work on my 73 Escort Panelvan. It's been a few years since i've done anything to her, but i have some time now and a slight trickle of money  I am new to pretty much everything i'm doing, and just working off youtube videos and google I took the starter motor out this evening (from my 2 litre pinto) to check it and am getting no response at all from either the starter or the solenoid when hooking it up to the battery with jumpers. A friend of mine offered me an XF Falcon starter motor. Is there a chance it could be compatible? (i realize this question will need far more info) Depending on interest to the post, ill post some photos of the van and parts in question. Thanks all, Hope to get a lot out of and give as much as i can to this community. Steve |

that one you have looks like a lucas with the phillps screws on the sides
any way looks close to the XF worth a try remind your mate that its a Ford and should have a lifetime parts replacement guarrantee if it fits

Cool thanks for the info. I will probably give it a shot. What does the lifetime parts replacement guarrantee mean for him/me?

how did you manage to get your hands on a 2 ltr ford pinto finished production in 1980
there is no ford pinto forum in here and interesting car i must say main fault was the early 73 ford pinto runabout the fuel tank --one rear ender and the burst into flames because of the exhaust /muffler position no bumpers the later models 74-88 were forced to ad bumpers and better tanks oh that lifetime parts replacement guarrantee ....when used by any repair company an old marketing slogan that didn't last long .. Its fixed or its free ....now only means "the part fitted "not the labour and shop costs to you
