Lucky guy

My local ford agent has had my cossie since mid October. It took them 2 months to get the hose that runs up from the thermostat. Another month to get an inlet manifold gasket. Now they say that I need some seals on the injectors and they have been trying to find them for the last 2 weeks. Still waiting. In the meantime I've been driving my wife's 2L 16 V, but it doesn't compare with the Cosworth.

Am quaking at what I'm going to be charged for the (lousy) service. Just hope it will all be worth it.

Cheers

John

Catalina, they seem to have had your car rather a long time :o

Have you been down to your local Ford dealer recently to check it's still there & hasn't gone into liquidation ;).......... ;D

catalina.
Sounds about right >:( that hose has been a problem to get for a long time,the inlet manifold gasket is easy to make,the injector seals may be obtained from a fuel injection specialist.I have had an offside chain tensioner on order since last summer,they just keep saying"back order,no stock" ::)
GOZZ.
