The scorpio continues to keep me busy in my spare time…<\/p>\n

I replaced the tailgate release motor last weekdn and happily that has cured that problem and I can open the car from the remote :D, I also strapped up a loose exhaust shield that was dragging.. And replaced a dodgy lambda sensor. ( that code has now cleared… )<\/p>\n

This weekend I sold the horrid 15″ wheels to another guy from the scorpio forum.. He got about \u00a3200 of tyres with them!!<\/p>\n

www.fordscorpio.co.uk<\/p>\n

so spent half the day dropping them off,<\/p>\n

I then fitted a replacement wiper stalk so I now have
wash on front and back!<\/p>\n

I also continue to investigate the cause of my rough idle, I did find a melted vacume hose which I have replaced. But there is still a problem and I still suspec a vacume leack on the EGR and EVAP systems…<\/p>\n

Otherwise I am still relaly enjoying the car. with over 2K covered in 7 weeks.<\/p>\n

Getting down to the volov dregs now.. I have sold over \u00a32K worth of parts and recon I can squeeeeze anotehr \u00a3500 if I am lucky. Lots of auctions runnign now…<\/p>\n
