Ford.
one prob after another cosworth
My bloody gearbox has broke now
I thought a cracked block various running faults a broken ratchet and pawl oh and a broke fuel rail bracket would be quite enough after a month but no!i cant get 5th and reverse now-nice one!
Gonna whip box out soon as i get chance even tho im working 7 days this week and see whats gone wrong.
It was only last week i were raving about how much i love my car,gotta be a love hate thing.My local tuner says the cars fine its me i cant drive the fooker lol.

Thats the normal way, you fix one thing and it runs great a few weeks later something else is wrong with and you wonder why you bother

At least you've been able to drive yours. I've had mine nearly a month now and I still can't fix the fault with my headlights
It's still sat in my garage and I'm now considering breaking it

im sure once the box is rebuilt things will be ok,when i removed exhaust yesterday i noticed a small pool of oil in the turbo so i reckon a freshen up on the turbo will be on the cards and that explains the smoke.
I did pm the fella you told me to but no reply as yet mate but no worries AET is round corner from me.

The car has no MOT so I can't even drive it in daylight and I can't get an MOT until I have headlights
