Malt 379 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 How's your driving? I know what you mean, nothing's cheap to fix on cars these days and most things are designed to be replaced on them at huge f***ing cost instead of mended..The days of buying a cheap runaround and keeping it on the road with a tin of WD40, a hammer and a few odd spanners are long gone..

neil82 1,088 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 probably buying crap to begin with or just not the right motor for what you want it to do, in the last 8 years I`ve had 3 nissans and the mazda truck (which blotted its copy book yesterday after 2 1/2 years of ownership decided to have a puncture, bitch), try and find something not flash, not diesel and not French and you may have better luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have come a long way since then, this was the original one we made for the mondeo in the early 1990`s. it was made to fit to the plastic exhaust manifold being made by a french company high up in the French Alps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
