Ford Update

I found out what is wrong with the car.

It’s the round thing on the front! That blue oval that says Ford. I’m sure if it had a different badge it would run ok, stop, keep all it’s bits on and be the new car that we purchased.

Well it started this morning after a night left at the shopping center at Erina. The security guards kept an eye on it after they helped my wife last night to put it in a safe place.  The problem turns out ot be intermitent, so diagnosing the problem is near impossible unless it happens again. But it will probably happen at traffic lights during peak hour. Finding the cause will prove to be difficult. All that can be done is to remove the throttle body and inspect for any corrosion or debri that may be causing the problem. The next step will be to disconnect the wiring loom and ‘fiddle’ with ALL the connections. My Multimeter will tell me if any are suspect connections.

A little bit of petrol and a match should have it looking and running like new.

The forums are FULL of people with dodgy Fords.

They all seem to have the same problems with loosing thier brakes, brake shudder, stalling, power loss and generaly bad cars.

Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention is the heater fan has a squeak that makes you want to punch the dashboard as hard as you can!
