So not 5w30? Well there goes that bottle of oil I brought before the 1.6 buggered up

I have lower suspension in the shed but quite like the height of it as it is.
And the escort si alloys aren't on it, they weren't really to my taste. Shane as they are in good condition with new tyres (although tyres are slightly to big on them)

Poor Orange Si is hurt. Started first time after sitting for 3 weeks and with virtually no petrol in it

i've never put anything but 10w40 in all my cars iirc ford use 10w40 but dont hold me to that lol but 10w40 has the widest heat range so its most commonly used. yours isnt a track/race car so you'll be fine

you'll need to use 5w30

iirc all zetec e use 5w30! helps combat sticky valves on the S1 engines, this issue was cured on the S2 silver top engines

sam you knob

5 30 for a zetec

in his defence he did say not to hold him to that

just an excuse to throw some abuse at him

tint the rear indicators

24 carrat c*nt again

love you to

Phew yeah my dad said today that the oil for the 1.6 is fine for the 2.0 and since doing the oil it's running nicer

If the black/orange scheme goes ahead I shall be trying out my old tinted lights to get a visual then using my old red lights to tint
There's a reason for having so much built up

My older tinted lights are a bit scruffy and needed redoing if I'm honest.

That would certainly be something to see

Temp sensor is now sorted and the car idles at 1k with the odd wiggle to 900rpm and temp gauge is working fine.
In other news have got the car booked to have a cat 1 toad alarm installed through the toad website, so within the next month it shall be alarmed up

1 more thing off the list.
