    vokera synegi 28e - constant intermittent d1 code

    Synergi is an utterly ****e boiler. Most D1's I came across were due to the blocked pipe or the condensate level switch. Both have been replaced but often the switch would trip a D1 from new and intermittently thereafter.

    [/url] I was in SA last year for work and one of the lads in the workshop had a tidy XR6.....had been used for film work over there. Was a nice car and sounded great. If I was going to change the engine in one I would either go cheap and whack a BMW M60/M62 in or go big and fire an LS1 in.

    Bloke in my local motor factors has a rough MK4 'tina two door....could be nice with some work but I doubt he will get much done to it......might offer him some money for it.

    [/url] If I was going to import an aussie motor it wouldn't be anything that nasty. More likely an XA or XB coupe.

    Fatness

    Was it Kinky Friedman that said "pick something you like and let it kill you"? My liver is fine....I'm Scotch.....we are born with upgraded ones. :lol: First pint is usually one rep :mrgreen:

    How about this weapon for an alternative 2 door? Looks like it has grannie headlights. :lol: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/De-Tomaso-Lonchamp-Rare-Right-Hand-Drive-Ford-Cleveland-V8-Detomaso-/231293225812?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35da268b54 Shame about the webasto fore-skin. :cry:

    Two door saloons were euro market only. **** knows why as I think they would have flown off the shelves here. I don't like the coupes.....ugly things. Have considered doing an RHD conversion to a saloon but haven't checked it's viability. That one is nice apart from the horrible wheels.

    Cyclists should be banned off certain roads

    Bicycles don't usually do 120MPH round corners. If you have ever ridden a motorbike on bald tyres in the wet you would know why they have tread.

    Fatness

    That's usually to put you off the scent of her toyboy. :lol: I was getting fat and topped 15 stone at one point. Started doing 30 minutes a day of weights (no cardio at all cos it's ****) I'm down to 84kg and my body shape has improved considerably. I would lose even more if I didn't drink...

    Bungs

    In my 13 years I had the bungs fail once when one of them dropped out the cold feed. I have had 5 open ends on bungs.....didn't know it but it still held. I changed cylinders on them, they are reliable.

    Knuckle draggers are putting the price up on early escorts and tinas......lets be honest MK1 and 2 escy's are utter ****e motors just like most of Fords 70's/80's gash. Cart springs and live axles. Loads of cars were better than them and I am actually quite glad the tattoo'd masses are paying...

    Yes same here, I have a car on the drive that drives no problem and with a few issues sorted would MOT and be back to former glory....sadly I have neither the time or inclination just now and the insurance cost is daft for what it is.

    Possibly, they command stupid prices....even for scrap ones, which most are.

    This is the point, there is no way of knowing what is left. I would respectfully say that if a French turbo diesel is lying in a field it is all but gone anyway.
