Strangely been fine since. Think I'll have to wait until symptoms worsen

I had wondered about the fuel filter. Maybe under heavy throttle its forcing fuel through?

Hi guys, basically as per title my car has started to misfire under gentle throttle. This seems to be worsening as time goes on. Last night the car really jerked as I approached a roundabout with the car under no throttle. Seemed to be at the point I pressed the throttle down. In thinking...

Hi mate, it's the power steering pump. I have found them now though, git under the car from a different angle and there right in front of me! Struggled to get at th but dud it. Everything off the car bar the waterpump now, but I'm have to continue with it tomoz. So far so good!

Hi all, I'm in the process of changing my knackered water pump. I'm struggling to locate the three bolts that hold the bracket on. I cab feel the one at the bottom passenger side of it but can't seen to see the others? Any one have a diagram/picture/description of where they are? Many thanks, chris

Never mind I've found it, it is the water pump. Can't understand how the engine hasn't overheated though as the Celtics barely driving the pump? Booked in at a garage who are willing to do it without removing cambelt but can't do it until 17 th September, great.

Any ideas as to which one it is and what I should look fir? Looked on the how to guides and there is a diagram showing the belt setup, looks like the pulley marked number six is the one but there is no key to explain what this is called?

It's this one, quick look on Euro parts and it looks like a deflector pulley. Is smooth as the belt runs on it smooth side down, not ribbed. Appears to be connected to the engine via a cast mount.

Right, I've just had look with a decent torch. Seems the problem was miss diagnosed originally. One if the pulleys that the auxiliary belt runs round is knackered. Looks like the bearing has collapsed and the pulley is now windy and touching the engine on one sude, which explains the sudden...

I had the problem diagnosed and they said it was coming from the waterpump, ( the original rattle) seems too much of a coincidence fir the squealing to have started just as the rattle has stopped and still sounds like same area? Plus Camelot was changed during a major service less than two...

Right, I'm thinking it's going to be thevwater pump then. This has been noisy since I had the car and has now gone quiet to be replaced with the squealing. Looks like it's time to get it changed. I think I better park it up for now, don't fancy it dieing altogether !

Basically as above. Drove,the Car overnight and it sounds like the belt us slipping. Little bit odd as it is pretty much all the time and isn't quite as loud/ high pitched as I remember on ny old cars. Thought if the tension is adjustable I could tighten the belt up a little and see if that...

Quick one, is there anyone going to Ford fair,that may be passing close enough to you to pick the wheel up fir me?

Yes I think it would tbh, pity!

What size disc is the caliper for? And how much would it be posted?

Are you going to Ford fair at all? Would like the thunder alloy but your miles away

Basically nine is knackered so want to replace as cheap as possible to get the car going again. Anyone git any decent ones goibg? It'd fir the later 258mm brakes on a 2001 thunder

Cheers guys. I think the problem in having is that the clamps are nit correctly spaced apart on the bars. I can't find any hint of what manufacturer they are in order to get the measurements. I'll have to just trial and error it whilst I'm off.

Yes, there are a similar design to the Thule ones but as I tighten up the clamps it just pulls the rubber feet off the roof.

Eh?
