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

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.![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
I'm in a million bits this end mate too but dont give up on it.

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
