Looks tidy. Good base to start. Try giving the engine a good service, most importantly a MAF clean (prob cheapest too), new plugs HT leads and some magnatec 5w30. The 1.6 aint gonna break any records but it shouldn't be sluggish. |

Fubared cat would cause sluggishness as well! Looks good, needs lowering a tad to get it sat right IMO!

im watching some springs and as soon as its got MOT the cat will be going out the flap and staying out ahh and was thinking today if its been off the road a year the petrol in the tank wont be doing much performance wise |

thought i would change the oil and bleed the brakes today failed on the brakes none of the nipples would budge waht so ever   and failed on the oil too........how the hell do i get to the filter  cant believe a car this size has got power steering and the pipes are right in the way, i take it i have to reach it from below?also needs a CV rubber gaiter thing on the hub end on drivers side, can i do this by taking the leg/hub out the way leaving the shaft in the gearbox? although i guess if i take the shaft out completly i could get at the oil filter easily  and what do we think to pepperpots, the lattice wheels might need new tyres and ccant afford a set at the moment, the pots only need the one new tyre, inch less in diameter so might pick up on acceleration  it all seemed like to much hard work to the pooch who went for a kip in the escort

| @ the pooch yeah your best bet is doing the filter from underneath ad for the shaft Q i'm not sure about that one pepper pots looks really good tho, imo suit it better than the lattice ones

Yea, you can do the gaiter by just taking the shaft off the hub end. This will save you alot of work too! When u put the new gaitor on, dont forget to fill it with sum new grease before reconnecting it to keep it all well lubricated. When I did mine, the new gaitors came with grease from ford!
