Title: Belated hi to all
Post by cossie_al on Feb 27^th, 2006, 12:05am

Hi all,
I guess I got too tied up in problem solving before I got chance to say hello.
I have been a member about a week or so and have already been given the confidence to tackle the egr faults.
I would not have even known where to look for the fault without the fault finding page on this site.
as I have said in earlier postings I saved money so its only fair that the savings are shared with the site by way of a donation. I dont want thanks but I do want this fantastic gold mine of knowledge to continue.
Thanks to you all for a site that exceeds expectations of any humble car owner. Its just a shame that the other car owners dont know what they are missing.
But listen guys dont tell them because then we can keep these experior machines all for ourselves. ;D
Or am I just greedy :-/

thanks for the welcome guys and gals,
as a youth I always aspired to that dream that is that of cosworth having various escort and sierra replicas but never the real thing. a bit later in life I heard on local jungle drums that a bloke not to far away was in desperate nead of cash and wanted to sell a saphie 4x4 cossie.
so a deal was done. ;D
To be honest ever since then I have had on occasion difficulty sleeping because I got that car for less than the equivalent standard 2.0ltr ghia would have cost. :o
However,
I do believe in karma and guess what, It was nicked of my drive never to be seen again.
so after spending a few years with lesser quality vehicles and motorcycles I ended up with a back injury so went looking for an auto.
Now this is where it gets spooky.
My nick name was cossie al when I had the saphie.
I picked the ultima out of a load of fords in the auto trader.
not advertised as auto or cossie rang the guy up and he told me that I should know it was auto before I came.
I said oh never mind I will have a look any way. ;) ;) ;)
So when I got there the guy showed me the full fmd stamped book and every bill that the car has had for all of its life I have put all the bills and invoices in a folder and so far I have 53 file pockets.
Back to the point the guy selling it thought that being an auto was a down side not to me it was exactly what i wanted.
Did the usual tests and a drive and found a few faults but nothing drastic.
lifted the bonnet and there in all its glory was the lagend embezelled over the engine.
I stepped back and looked at the plate and guess what N100 AL
my nick name was on the plate it was an auto cossie.
I reckon that car and me were meant to come together
what do you reckon?? :D

went and had a good look round the car, not remembering ever having seen one of these Scorpio thingys before and when I lifted the bonnet and saw the shiney Cosworth badge it was sold! :D
