hi ricky

you seem to have a few problems. you need to list them all in one post so we can try and figure it out. the 12 valve engine is the same from the granada, so g&s online (http://www.granada-and-scorpio-online.com/forums/) is a good place to ask as well.

hi there

re g&s site. they might have hit their monthly bandwith limit :-/ some sites have a limit to keep cost down. our site uses something like 18gb a month with 1,000,000 hits+ a month, making it the #1 site for scorpio's on the web! ;D cost's a fortune to run, hence the donation button at the top right of the screen.
