Default So, this escort wants a fight eh?

Headgasket went on my RS the day after buying it. Since then, its been a field of fuck ups.

Its all back together as it should be now. Had it running last week but didnt take it out due to Battery draining. This issue has been located and sorted. Went to take her out........... NOPE.

Refused to start. Fuel pump wasnt priming. So, messed around with pink relay, and she fired up. Great stuff. Needed some fiddling with idle screw to get it right.

Took her out for a run round the block. In dire need of a set up, but I was so glad she was running. Parked her up on the driveway, left it 5 mins and started it again. Fired up first time. Awesome. No hot start issues

The lad comes home from his mates and wants me to take him for a spin in it so I agree. Keys in, pump primes......... turn turn turn. Nothing. Refusing to start again.

My lord, this car has PMT I am sure of it. So, before I took an axe to every panel, I walked away and had a beer. This morning, still refusing to start, no matter what I did. Idle screw up and down, cold start on or off. Got annoyed.

So, I have just purchased AA homestart, roadside recovery to a garage of my choice etc. It WILL be taken to a garage and sorted there because I am at the end of my tether with it now

Why the fuck did I sell a mega reliable Clio 172 for this piece of old shit with a bad attitude
