Well...i put the cataclean in it, but still struggled with the emissions, but then its an escort...i expect it! lol I must say though the engine is quieter and running smoother since I put this in! It wasn't overly loud or anything before hand but there is a difference!

Then found out from the guy who done my oil and filter change that i got 2 small holes in my exhaust... so that would explain some of it, going to sort that out during the week!

While it was up on the ramp i had a good luck underneath and i do have an oil leak ... from the lower crank shaft seal, but apparently its not too bad so was told not to worry too much about it for the moment, will see what i can do as thats gonna be an expensive job as its cam belt and everything!

Also got a little gear box oil leak too, from where the drive shaft goes in

The only advisories were a worn bush on the nearside lower arm, which if i get the parts our mechanic at work will fit for a score! And 1 tyre which I knew about and am sorting on pay day!
