Title: Re: My Bag of hammers" just became sledgehamm Post by grandadman on Jul 11th, 2008, 8:20pm Thanks Andrew, Yeah my cossie has just developed this horrible knocking sound in sympathy with the engine revs - god knows what I am going to find. But as I go in this octopus looks like a jig saw puzzle to me and I wondered if there existed a set of dis/re-assembly instructions on the site covering this job? Cheers and Hi Dave - you well ? |

Title: Re: My Bag of hammers" just became sledgehamm Post by grandadman on Jul 11th, 2008, 9:07pm Hi Got there! That's exactly what I was looking for thanx A. Yeah the car did sound good at HH but today I drove to the Metrocentre in Gateshead 'Angel of the North' territory which is just 10 miles or so away from my house for a spot pf shopping with my wife and on the way back the car started misbehavng itself. I stopped so that my wife could post a birthday card and the car would hardly start it did eventualy and Iit hobbled the last half mile home. The car was sick! and so was I. Scorpio_Mike Thanx for your input I have seen that BOA on You Tube and I rate it very highly pity Ford didn't do one for the BOB. Thanks to all I will report back the results of my investigational work 8) I have been very pre-occupied by these start up rattles for months! I hope........... CU in a bit :o |

Title: Re: My Bag of hammers" just became sledgehamm Post by grandadman on Jul 13th, 2008, 6:17pm Me again - I thought I'd check the routing of the HT leads before removing them and I found THIS... (http://www.x100p.co.uk/edis6.html) didn't look correct to me, :-/ :-/ The numbers indicate which plug each lead ends up at 1-2-3 looks loigcal but 5-6-4 ??? |
