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.........  :P

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 ;) ;) }{
