Title: My other car's a truck
Post by pat on Nov 30^th, 2008, 6:44pm

Fed up with modern motors >:(
Previously reliable Mondeo now off road with immobiliser fault. Scorp is now once again No.1 transport
but for how long?
Answer-get a bog standard motor with no fancy gadgets,one that I can look under the bonnet and know what I am looking at and above all, I can fix when it goes wrong! :) What's more, it's got a blue oval badge.
Got it yet? Only a Sierra P100 Pickup-Cool or what?! 8)
Absolutely love it. Next on the agenda is a Mk. 2 Zodiac convertible. And then perhaps an ex-GPO Morris Z van....
;D ;D

What year is the mondeo, as I had problems with my 1994 granda scorpio immobiliser, the solder joints inside had gone dry and just needed to be resoldered.

Nice choice :)

shame you picked the sierra thats built out of half a transit and has the most unreliable engine in the range if its a 1.8TD one ;D

Joking aside, they're good fun and something a little unusual - make sure you pop over to the FSOC forum and introduce yourself - we're a friendly bunch and try to offer the same support and assistance as you've come to expect from the guys here in the Scorpio forum :)

a900one.
It's an R reg. Yeah, autoleccy suspects same thing and has taken box away to resolder.
Pinto:- No it's a 2.0 Pinto. Engine is mint-only 85k. What is theFSOC forum? sounds good. Penny's dropped, Ford Sierra Owners' Club? Doh :-[

Pinto makes her a slightly older one - E/F/G registration ? Used the same 2 litre low compression lump as the tranny - good for lifespan but poor for horsepower - assuming you dont happen to have a Turbo Technics kit tucked away 8).... in which case low comp is a GOOD thing ;D LOL

Nice to see another example with a good home :)
