haha sorry on the spelling, im shattered..... its a mk 6 escort van. timing belt snapped last night so im thinking ive got some cash to chuck at it might aswell start with the engine now. as far as being mechanically competent im not really its back to basic's as its some thing i want to learn about. my girlfriends dad on the other hand is a mechanic so is like my yoda on this project but id like to hassel him only as and when. am i better going 4 a better diesel engine or scrapping that all together and sticking a petrol lump in it? oh and its a 1.8TD engine.
so all advice will be taken in like a sponge as i am really new to this game.
