Default Any Ford boys/girls in Perth?

As above are there any Ford nuts living in Perth? Would be good to find someone who knows how to fix them as most of the garages round here run a mile when you mention the word Escort!

I've never even seen a Cossie in Perth! Whereabouts are you mate? It's my XR3i Zetec Turbo. Not long had it back from getting the engine fitted and it's popping and banging all over the place. There's also a bad oil leak from the turbo which is dripping down onto the manifold and making it undriveable due to the smoke. I have a spare turbo and manifold etc here so it needs.....

Turbo fixed/fitted
Plugs/Coil/Leads looked at
Maybe a wee tune to get things running properly?

Just waiting on my pizza cooking then I'll have a proper look at your saff. Is that the place along from the old Ice Factory? Think he'd take a look at mines for me???

Superb, I'll give them a shout next week mate. Typical of me to get my car on the road right before winter. I should get into 4x4s!
