Ive been with flux for the past 4 years and they have been cheapest buy atleat £300 over everyone else, I also have Flux rescue which is great, i had to use it once and they recovered my car 120miles to a destination I wanted it to go even though my home was 5miles down the road. I did have the key cover however I feel this is a complete waste of time, It doesnt help you out in anyway when you lose your keys. you have to find a company to come out to you and try and cut and programme a key, pay for it your self and then fill out a claims form and wait for that to be processed, wont be buying that cover ever again

ill help you but will need to know when as i live in london, ill try to time it with my next visit to the inlaws who live in brislington

you dont even need to loosen the 3 nuts ontop of the strut, I only ever pop the lower arm ball joint out and pop out the track rod end, plenty of movement to pull the shaft out this way where in bristol are you? anywhere near brislington?

Often wrong? Only in the ways of love! They offer pre-mapped chips that you plug into the ECU.. not live mappable.. don't get me wrong, there are technologies out there now to do such things but hardly anyone is doing it for ECU's like these. sorry stu i meant not often wrong, lol

thats the exact reason i asked if he was running aftermarket management. i disbelieve the OP. there are many people on here that do know escorts inside out, STU is a very knoledgable bloke and is often wrong on things so i think this was all b*llocks

still no graph been posted?

when you say fcuked about with the laptop, who did? do you have a mappable ecu

dont know why you would want to use the rs2000 manifold as they arent spectatular in the 1st instance,

with what you describe id say its 100% gonna be down to the pins in the plug and not a faulty switch. ill have a look at the next n.london meet if your there

easy way to tell, does the belt go around the altanator and power steering pump? if it does then its the auxilary belt can you see the inside of the belt? does it have ridges or teeth? cambelt has teeth which run across the belt and alternator/auxilary belt should have ridges running the full length of the belt

dont take this the wrong way but are you sure you were looking at the cam belt and not the auxilary belt, the only reason i say this is because the cam belt isnt easily visable from under the car

sorry to drag up an old thread but... Im taking from where you say "changed the plug" that you cut the old wires from the old plug and rewired them to the new one? I have had the same issue for ages and am tryin to find a way to sort it! caz you may not need too, you can often reshape the pins inside the plug with a small screwdriver. my rs2k done this, window used to go down but not up then up but went down on its own, easily sorted with a screw driver

loads of them on piston heads at the mo

i hate them type. the best type is the thread that stays in the ground with a nut, i always found the type your using always fails when it comes to taking them out just found the whole thing would spin. never had any probs with these in the past, when removing them i just loosen the bolt then tap it gently and they release, also bolt will only spin if the whole drilled is too big

this is the bolts i used, m6 thread but deffo a 12mm hole drilled http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii298/mar_klee/DSC03820.jpg
