You did the right thing joining in here. Mind you, you probably already realise that with the help you've had so far.
I can guarantee that if you get problems in the future, then you'll find the solution here.
Long may the reliability continue!

Could be, but in your town (or location) there are more then the same 8-9 "wierd" looking scorps. The car is so rare here that i know each one of them, color, model, engine, bumper cracks.........

Yeah, I bet these thingyy Ford mechanics have to pool their few remaining brain cells together ( or run to the hills ) when the old guy with the Scorpio comes in complaining of poor starting problems and hesitant acceleration.

Mmmmf... I have seen tons in my area since I got mine. You wave or flash and get nothing, then again, as my misus puts it 'babes, why are all those guys driving those Scorpios like 90......??)
Or perhaps they know who I am and whats wrong with ma car and want to steer clear
