what is it with our cars? Have had so much money spent on them looking after them, yet still mine jumps from problem to problem.....
Sorted my dizzy sealing problem out, then the leads decide to break down. Bought some new genuine motorcraft jobies which sorted out the rough running problem, then the next day(today) im on my way to work, and this is the result....


Little fucker literally just cut out with no warning and will only run for a second or two before dropping dead again well fucked off with this car, anyone wana take it off my hands

SNAP. Would say,"STICK WITH IT"but i,ve been there and there comes a point where it,s just not worth the hassle.

I wouldn,t mind if i abused my car,never serviced it and just raced it around every day.But i treat mine to NEW PARTS,DETAILED UNDERSIDE and SO MUCH MONEY and it still plays up.

 

Lets both join....PASSION RECOVERYTRUCK .COM

 

this is exactly what i mean. I can honestly say the only time i have ever given my old girl some grief is when i took it home from MSD. My whole ignition and fuel system is all brand new genuine ford yet still the fucker plays me around

still, winter is around the corner and hopefully getting a unit between me and a few freinds, so hopefully spend a load more money on it

those peeps with relaible XR3i's are all laughing at us RS owners!!!

 

bugger guys, its not good!

touch wood ive not had any issues with mine yet!

 

True home of an RS...On the back of a recovery truck!

Its still lookin better than mine Danny!

I was actualy thinkin the other day,that when mine is done would i dare drive it?One of the reasons i took it to bits was because i was sick of the problems!

 

what have i let my self in for (my first rs)

 

joys of owning a rst glad i got rid of mine had it for 4 years was off road about 2 years of that was always fixing some thing last straw was when back wheel snapped off from stub axle at 50 it started to owe me silly money so in end cut my loses and let it go its worth it when driving it gives you a big

PMSL.....

I've seen that recovery truck a few times Danny...

Fortunatly for me though it's only been to deliver my car to places (like my new house and other stuff)

Sorry to hear things aren't going right for ya mate.
Like you said though, winter's coming and hopefully you'll be able to get things sorted ready for next year.

Dont give up though fella...

Sound bloke Dave Wells is. Looked after my car for me when i first bought it. Luckily for me my mates Transport Manager there.



I'm in a million bits this end mate too but dont give up on it.

 

Its odd because in all honesty mine has always been very very reilable and I don't drive it softly

Luck of the draw I suppose

I do have problems with my runabout occsionally though:-

 

Just to stick up for mine,i,ve owned it 6 years now and it,s only started playing up in the last year or so.

 

Bought my rs back in october hardly driven it at all with it being off the road, b@stard to start on the cold mornings, then the alternator went, then i kept cooking starters even with heat sheilds, then whinning turbo, then stem seals went, then shortly after i had a leaking wheel cylinder. those combined with it being in the body shop ive missed the summer completely

but for some reason i dont wana give it up

see how this winter goes now im on efi
think il be needing a clutch very soon though

 

Any luck sorting it??????

Sounds like a boost hose has split or come off to me.


KEEP US POSTED.

 

weirdly the couple of hundred quid shitters just go on for ever

 

mine gave a few problems but not much but it was the ROT which has caused me so many problems...i could of welded it up and got rid but instead i decided to give it a full resto...wish i hadnt started the bloody thing!

I just couldnt go on knowin it was under there lerking everytime the MOT was due!

 

mines the same chaps, but as said previously when it does drive it makes me

 

well lads thats rst ownership the good comes to those who wait

old fords never die they only get faster

 

No problems what so ever.
Have to turn her over a few times for her to start after Ive been away to work for 2 weeks at a time.
But hey.........

 

Well he text me lastnight saying a new coil seems to have fixed it so fingers crossed
