Thought so. Cheers for confirming it :)

Bump :)

Sorry to butt in but I need to order a cambelt kit. The car should have an MHA engine but I have a receipt for a 2001 engine, which I guess would be MHB. Do they use the same cambelts as I suspect? It's essentially the same basic engine isn't it?

Lot's done and a fair bit still to do. I too have an oil issue...the engine is losing it massively through the crank shaft seal. I have the seal but am just ordering a cambelt kit and water pump, then I can fit it and get the car back on the road. What's your oil issue? And no, I haven't been to...

I'm just up he coast fom you near padstow :)

Yup. Sounds like you have little or no servo assistance.

As i understand it the late servo is not as big as the earlier one. But ford would not have released it 'unsafe'. A functional original system should stop you in good time. I too would look at a line bleed first. But i did opt for a 300mm conversion. I have an old servo and with new fluid, the...

Good thoughts thank you. I'll have a more in depth look tonight.

Btw, further to the ecu thing, the reader did seem to be reading systems for a second lambda etc. I was only doing a quick check so i didn't note any of them down. But to my mind it would be worth doing because if it said summat like the second lambda isn't ready wouldn't that imply that the ecu...

The reader arrived today and i'm glad to report no stored codes :)

If you mean the one on the door lock, you don't need any special tools but you're right it's a pain to get at. I changed the lock and it was glass out, window frame out, just to get to it.

I too, rather like those stripes :) Good skills that man.

When I got mine it had a generic fuel cap and that would leak stink occasionally going up hills, dunno if that leads on to an ill fitting cap being a possible culprit?

Just bought one of those code readers, it's just easier than lugging the laptop about. I'll look into the software later for a more in depth data set. I always wanted to fit a tablet running OBD in my mk2 Golf. I quite like the idea of doing that in my new love tbh. The idea of live data being...

A little update, though things haven't progressed as fast as I'd have liked. The new rubber is on and balanced and it's had an alignment. Very good, much better An interesting thing happened at the alignment. The car was up on a lift running for a fair while. I expect I've mentioned that the...
