Title: all seems well
Post by rickyfifer on Jan 22^nd, 2005, 7:08pm

hello my o/d light comes on about a minute afrer turning on the engine it keeps flashing all the time i have all the gears and the over drive is working as it should trans fluid seems to be just hot after a 10 mile run so the box isint over heating i did rewire the main loom a wire at a time the one that falls apart between the the cylinders you know the one lol i might have put one wire to a earth (i did get the camshaft and crankshaft sensors mixed round hence no spark duh lol) dont know if everything is ok and take the od bulb out or get the guy out wi the obd2 any thoughts would be welcomed also its the 1st time ive driven the car since i got it and wow had a carlton 2.6 and scorp would leave it way behind got it for 200 in imaculate conditions cos it had a broke timing chain its cost me a further 460 to rebuild but ive changed 2 inlet 4 exhaust valves gasket set timing guide and on the scorpio site says u can reuse the head bolts twice but i only gave it one 90 deg after the inital torq incase they snapped i may put new ones in later also at parking speed does anyone else get noise from the power steering if so is it normal anyway cheers all.

the virbration from the steering at parking speeds is the main steering fluid pipe that runs under the engine. A modified pipe is available........
