24 valve Engine Cover/shorting

Happy Christmas everybody!
One of my 24 valve Scorpios died suddenly and would not start.
Cause: The engine cover had shorted out the Ignition module
Remedy: Remove the engine cover separate the individual cables on the top
of the plug and insulate; look at the underside of the engine cover and you
will see where the cables/shorting has taken place. Do not repace the
engine cover without ensuring that there is no chance of further contact
between the two. Spacers on top of the enginne cover securing studs should do
the trick.
She died suddenly on a very busy dual carriageway in Truro on Thursday.
Best regards.
Happy Scorpio Christmas
Mike
p.s. always carry a 10mm. socket, thin nosed pliers and Insulation Tape
