Title: New style engine LOL
Post by - Mike - on Jul 19^th, 2009, 9:29am

Take a look at this - BRIGHT SPARK (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-FORD-SCORPIO-GHIA-16V-AUTO-BLUE-LOW-MILEAGE_W0QQitemZ250467513613QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item3a5106f50d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1683|293%3A7|294%3A50)

apparently this Scorpio has a revolutionary new style 2.3 petroleum powered engine that requires NO spark plugs }{ }{ }{

1) Maybe they were taken out at the last service and not replaced }{

2) Probably just because he can't see them he thinks there ain't none }{

3) Home built hybrid ? (gi-normous batteries in the boot and back seat, drives by holding the key in position III) }{

No spark plugs........... ???......... Maybe thats why the 41000 miles...... It hasn't been driven for the last 8 years... Or maybe it's beeing driven around on a vehicle trailer....

Just sent a message to the person selling that car asking what he meant by no plugs, His reply was.........
the vehicle starts electronically through the system so does not need spark plugs.... Could that be right...

Would it be safe to assume these non existent spark plugs havent been changed recently then? ;)

hi there

think we might have done this one to death now.

best to let the seller try and sell his car. no one here wants one that possibly hasn't been serviced correctly.
