HI all, Don`t really know where to start, I am not interested if you think this is over priced or have any other silly comments, I have had a run of bad luck and this has really made my day !!! Here we have my very clean Escort Cosworth done 86k in mallard green full black leather, 12 months mot taxed till end of july, service history old mots. Running greens 3 bar map sensor Grp a filter Alloy header tank Strut brace Full blue silicone hoses swirl pot poly bushes Mongoose exhaust 18"Rondells Private plate valued at £700 I have had this car 3 months, shortly after I bought it the head gasket was showing signs of going, so its had the head completely reconditioned, group A head gasket, cam belt, top end gasket set. Then the 3 bar map sensor was messing about so I bought a genuine Magrelli 3 bar from Jullian Godfrey for £195. Was all running fine then I noticed a puff of blue smoke, that was the turbo, so its had a recon turbo put on it last week! I have just had it mot`d , had 2 new track rod ends and rear brake pipes. Then today while diving I have noticed a noise from the engine, not sure what it is about 3 -4000 rpm, no smoke good oil pressure, quiet from cold. I have really had enough cant justify spending anymore time and money on it, could be a simple fix but I really don't know. The body work is very nice no rust around any of the wheel arches or fuel cap, sills are very clean, all original panels, never been welded. Got little blisters on tailgate spoiler, and a little dent and blister on corner of bonnet, size of 5p coin, some stone chips to bumper , and slight laquer peel on roof due to age of car. Interior is full black leather and in excellent condition, headlining is like new, as I also had that retrimmed ,even more expense! Any enquires please call Ryan on 07786384861 Please no silly offers I have had enough bad luck! Thank you |
Will upload more pics later or tomorrow

Is it ok to call you in half an hour when I'm home?

Looks a clean car. Shame you have had bad luck with it matey. When they are going fine they bring you satisfaction. When they are going wrong they can break your heart.
So the noise is coming from the engine when the car is stationery. |

could the noise be resonance?? check the downpipe isnt touching the bellhousing since having the turbo done
Steve |
You just changed a turbo my money would be on exhaust rubbing or resonance as suggested about I had a similar problem and it was rubbing on the heat shield that was metal sounded bad,
