right! My escort needs a service doing as it passed more than 6 months, 7 1/2 to be exact!
the spark plugs needs doing. a mechanic told me that denso is the best out there? and will be buying silkolene oil.
now for the oil, what grade should I use? and how much itres does a 1.1 take?
thank you very much

When it comes to plugs, Ford engines (especially the zetecs) seem to run best on genuine ford. And they are no more expensive from ones you can get off the shelf anywhere else. Although you could probably suspend a lighted match from each plug hole and you wouldn't nitice much difference in performance 
I think oil is grade 10w40 for the hcs engine.
