August 9, 200420 yr Author ok i shall update you all on my car that i ONLY PICKED UP THIS MORNING i did a round trip of about 50 miles and i noticed that it was a bit short of power. seeing as it has been staning for a few weeks i thourght that it would just be that it needed a bit of a run out. But i have had a few probs starting the car and then when i went to pick my girfriend up in the new car the bloody thing was over heating and steam was bellowing out of the engine bay. i have spoken to the guy at the garage i got it from and i am taking it in tomorrow to be chked out. it's better that it's happened now and not after the warrenty has gone and finished. I love the car other than that Escorts feel great to drive. well i will let you all know when it's sorted out and i can look at getting some mods Ta Robbi SiKK
August 9, 200420 yr Sounds to me like there's a head gasket split there, nothing major, but if its been run for a long time before you bought it like that, it could be messy........ :S
August 9, 200420 yr Author thanks for the info colin it's gonna all be chked out by my regular mechanic for any problems anyway i trust him
