Well all i can say is its not been started since the last sunday in november and its just fired up first time, no smoke, no missing.

Its the most reliable car ive ever had barr the oil burner

Took it for a spin to give the engine a chance to warm through and the battery a quick charge.

Reminded me how slippy the roads are, the 55 escort van just doesnt have the power to break into wheelspin

 

glad to hear it mate mine does the same started it in the garage the other night after nearly 3 months and first click excactly the same

 

Yeh same here, took mine out yesterday , first time in a while, makes you realise how great they are when you dont use them everyday, was thinking of having a engine build done, but still gives me a awesome buzz on the stage3, cleaned it today, back to bed for a while now...........

 

Took mine out the other day

Can't belive how fast it feels

Always gives me a good buzz when i ain't used it for a while

Steve.

 

gonna have to get mine stage 3 it seems fast but i keep getting my arse kicked by my mate

 

Yepp mines is sooo reliable its scary

Touch wood

Stage 3

 

Nice one mate

There great when there running right but a pain in the arse when there broke.

 

tell me about it mate it's the expense but i still love it

 

Was lovin mine for nearly 3yrs,pretty reliable use, then the head gasket let go,now its off the road,again.Was gonna break it, just couldnt be bothered fixin it,and i really thought i wouldnt miss it,then after a couple of weeks my enthusiasm crept back.....Damn cars thought they were out me system for good, oh well here comes year 4 with the saff!!

 

Yeh fook it, its only money, its what we work for, the nice things in life, trouble is my misses as got her idea of nice things to, FITTED KITCHEN, FITTED BATHROOM, kinhell im only a postman............lol

 

Sonic , dont sell mate, problems happen with cars, its all part of owning them, what would you get anyhow? stick with it mate looks a nice motor..

 

guys dont gynx it these are after all cozzys

 

My cossie has been sat in the garage for just over a month, just don't have the time to use it ! plus its to cold to go outside ! looking foward to a nice day when i can give it an airing again

Simon.

 

mine already broke mate not mechanical failure, my brain failing and not checking the oil turbo bearings seized

 

shouldnt mean they cant be reliable tho, there just gettin old i guess, need more preventative maintanance.....i gotta do 60miles a day in mine, thats without social use. Of course we could all turn the boost down and they would last forever?














Ill get my coat!!

 

soz to hhear that dude hope u get it sorted

 

Cant wait til mines repaired

 

fucking hell, wish i was in the same boat, bought mine over a year ago, melted a piston after 300 miles, just got it up and running again, and its still not right, Mmmm makes me think should i have gone down the jap route??????????????.......................as yet its the biggest sack of shit car i have ever bought, talk about a rush of blood buying it, not been in a quick car for a while, so i was determined to buy a fast cossie, obviously the wrong one though! touch wood, when its right i will love it, well done to the person who sold it to me by the way

round or applause to you

(this is not a slagging off of the cossie by the way, i think they are awesome, just my experience so far has been a very expensive one, i do hope to god, all will be well soon and it will turn into the best car i have ever had) when it goes, it goes, but for how long it goes is the question?????????

 

a bit pissed off with the car today, hopefully i will be in another frame of mind in the morning, and all will be well

 

Sounds like it ready for alive mapping session mate, mines mapped every 6 months or so to try and keep on top of it

I just hope it keeps going for the ring in april

 

well i've chilled out a bit now, i gonna get some cash together get it sorted out once and for all, then as you say keep on top of it

touches wood, crosses fingers/legs/arms/toes and even bollocks

 

should take mine for a drive i suppose its been in the garage since the end of trax havent really missed it yet

 

i got mine started yesterday havent even sat in it since September.

Loved the drive to work this morning, altho I did have to frequent the fooking fuel station tho

Reminds me I got to change the exhaust too and the inlet gasket and clean the fooker

 

funny thing is tho - I actually prefer to drive the Mondeo most days anyway as I dont have to worry about it and can take it up kerbs, etc

and the mondeo derv is quieter.

Which remonds me anyone want to buy a cossie zorst with a straight thru pipe - ie no middle section
