- Hello and welcome to Missle industries XC crusty wagon project. What was originally intended as a simple walk around video to update the channel on the progress I have made taking this wagon from crusty parts car to possibly viable basket case morphed into this chronicle you see before you. Largely due to the power steering leak that I was aware of. I just didn't appreciate how severe the leak would become once the car was under load.
My expectation was for a loose fitting causing a weep much like my other XC, but it was much much worse than that as after years of sitting the hose had failed and all it needed was full pressure to seal its fate! Crusty wagons long standing Holley fuel rail leak was also present, fortunately nothing caught fire.
It seems that my ADRAD radiator also has a leak which can hopefully be repaired as a recore is very expensive and will probably mean adapting an ebay radiator into this car much as I have to good effect with my XC sedan.
I have started the process of addressing these infernal fluid leaks because I need a non leaking car if i am to get this car on the road!
Nice wagon, good luck with the build 👍👍
beauty,love the wagons
Nice chocks Bro
G,day mate , loved my xc 9 half years as my 1st car and it was same colour neptune blue with soft blue matching inside and the inside was like new , with factory air no pwr steer ,, drove so well , every bush or ball joint ,,, re place them wheel alignment to finish and the car will be nice to drive and easy to drive
Cheers, I will be rebuilding the front end in the not too distant future, an old car with air and steer is on my wish list after a summer in my XC sedan.
Ford , power steering puking at the worst time is absolutely classic .😮😢🤮
Probably won't be the last time something like this happens either.
