Title: Cosworth Loom
Post by confused on Feb 8^th, 2011, 9:21pm

Yes, after 5 or 6 Scorpios I am thinking of returning to another Cosworth, but the last two I had both devloped running problems. I was wondering if this was cuarble at a sensible cost. I never had any other problems, but finding a good ordinary 2.9 is proving hard work. Thoughts please.

Hello confused.
If you fancy LHDriving - very distinctive - I have a perfect 24v waiting for you.
Fitted with a new engine compartment loom; 100% perfect ever since after mucho problemo.
Looms' ageing is the problem these days; youngest is now 13 years old.
Finding a good Cossie is one thing; keeping it another.

Thanks, but no thanks
I have enough trouble with the Mustang, also I want an estate,
Just puzzled how painful the running problems are to fix, the cars never stopped but tended to run erratically at speed and then clear up, very strange

So - what are you looking for now? Thoughts on what?
Scorpio's are old hat. Period. Either you love them or you hate them.

No?

They are great cars and I still love them
What I want is a very late 12v Ultima Estate, but all I can find are Cosworths and having had engine managment problems on the last two I had, I just wanted to know if it is curable and what cost

... this is like asking how long is a piece of string...

Scorpio's are now 13 years old - best case. What do you expect? Are you confused? ;-))
