Escort Cossie - New Toy
Hi everyone,
I've just picked up an L Plate Escort Cossie, and I have a few little problems with it.
When going over speedhumps, or on full left lock, there is a knocking coming from the front passenger side wheel. I've been told this could be the bottom ball joint or even the driveshaft. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Also, the fans aren't kicking in when the temperature warms up, so I am being careful and letting it cool down every so often when I can as I don't want to bbq the engine, does anyone have any ideas on why this could be happening????
Cheers
