I have now owned the saff for the last 6 months and had no probs with it the only things i have had to do was a split cv boot and had to tighting up the turbo which came loose.

I can honestly say i thought i was going it get loads of probs owning a cosworth.


Are they not as bad as i thought or am i just lucky waiting for something to go wrong ?

whats gone wrong with yours in trhe last 6 months

 

new engine

 

Give it time m8

 

Oh dear I hope you were touching wood ( ) when you typed that

 

i was holding my desk very tight when i was tvped it can i let go now

 

blown engine in one of mine

thats the only major thing really, got mine Motd today without any hassle so that was good news. Only thing is, the other one that the engine blew was motd just before it went so i hope i dont have repeat performance with this one

 

No!

You'll need to hold that desk for the rest of your life now

 

Had mine a year and only had a driveshaft, it was VERY reliable and i used it everyday, the b8stard that had it after me hit a lamppost sideways 2 weeks after buying it and now its gone...........

 

In the first 6 months of my old Saph I didn't really have to spend much at all.. new sump (threaded) and a general tune-up to solve some cold start issues and that was it!!!

 

had my cossie four years .driven it very hard then this happend.




Not complaining , you cant have all that power and exspect anything less.

done over 25k in that time
best of luck

you lucky bugger DOO.....

mine needed a new engine after a week

 

thats a dead piston

 

OUCH

 

A week did you get any help sorting it off the pervous owner

 

Gus never seen one that bad before
what was the rest of the engine like?

 

fucked

 

other side is as bad i just kept it nailed when she got hot and died

 

no chance, all his fault too, sold me a pack of lies with the car was a supposedly freash engine , was it bollocks.....didnt have half the things he said it did either, like gpA gasket etc.

4k down the line i'm sorta happy with it.




I'll get revenge

 

Hope yo do mate the fooking coont

 

I had no problems with mine til

 

after about 2-3 months





bottom end was scrap, cillinder was battered more then the moon!

 

Engine rebuild

 

I've had mine 6months now. only done a clutch, turbo, exhaust and quite a few bald tyre's

 

In the last six months I have done in:
Three sets of front brake pads.
Three oil changes.
One gearbox.
One set of tyres.

 

had mine two years and then this happened

 

doo
aint that your car at harvey's?or am i confused?

 

Nope, you have a nice condition car thats looked after and is low spec and state of tune

most of the problems come when cars are poorly modded, and not looked after OR taken to extreme levels or tune or hammered around tracks!

 

Or have me behind the wheel!

 

Nothing major in the last 6 months, although I have just checked and have spent around Ł8000 in 5 years of ownership.
Thats on spares/repairs and upgrading.

lewis your staying in the pass seat

porkie 320 bhp is plenty of fun at the moment just hope i don`t get the urge for more
changeing the t3 i have at the moment for a t28 so should put even less strain on the engine

 

No mate who is harvey you got me confused now?

 

scs m8

 

oh just thinkin reg is maybe GOO not DOO lol

sorry m8

 

Had my car for a while, with no probs but then few things went wrong hopefully now 90% of the car is new so not much more can go wrong *touching wood*

 

yes, MORE than enough for a road car but still a low state of tune for a cos, which is why it will be great if looked after and maintained properly

 

had my car 2 and half years.

did

diff
head gasket
PAS rack

 

Chop,
That's JapCrap's car....
