I made the mistake of not putting oil in my gearbox, by the time I realise it had done the classic trick of destroying the speedo drive. The box works fine, but I want my speedo back, so a while ago I bought a second hand box for it, which I was told was off a MK3. As I am only just getting round to fitting it and checking it out, I now realise that it has a different code number on it to my original box. From what I can see the old box has XVI/1 on it, the new box has XXV/1 and the number 87TT7F096AB on it. So the question is, what have I bought, and will it fit?

From the part number I would say it's a later bc box, if it is it won't fit your mk3 as the mk4 box is supported by a crossmember where as the mk3 box isn't, you can tell the correct box that will fit a mk3 as if you look at the gearbox filler plug then look right you will see a square with 4 tapped holes at each corner for the front mount, the later box doesn't have this This is what your looking for  Below is the later bc as in mk4 escort which won't fit  Hope this helps |

Sorry for delay, but thanks for that help guys. So you are saying a much newer MK5 or 6 Escort box will still fit my MK3? no electronic speedo or other electronics?
