  1. Can you sell a deregistered car without the original ownership papers from when you purchased it? Can you obtain new papers?
  2. Good to see you got it back! Sounds like it was used for a joy ride?
  3. Snap! This car rules my face off. Had your dad do some work on my escort a while back. He Certainly can peddle that beast
  4. Try Machine part welding on Great South Road. I had them do some aluminium Welding for me and they are competent and do deals for cash
  5. Great sucess. Injector pulse was too weak to fire. So ended up unpicking the loom and finding the supply to the relay has a slight break in it. Little bit of solder and hey presto its alive. Thanks for all the help and suggestions! Matt
  6. Thats a good thought on the injector plugs and Unplugging the ecu. Will try that tonight
  7. Used an LED to check The pulse and yes it has a pulse. Went to the auto sparkys to book it in. Any other suggestions?
  8. Discuss...abuse. Get an escort?

  10. Same amount of resistance. Hmm. Perhaps crank angle sensor?
  11. Checking this now^! All 6 original are 2.3 ohms
  12. Car is located at the factory i work at in penrose. The only thing noted about the injectors is a Blue ring on the original ones but only one of the injectors from australia has a blue ring, in saying that i was assured by the person i bought them of that they were "fresh out of a vl turbo"
  13. Soooooo I have more or less taken delivery on my brothers VL....and it has a problem. It started leaking Petrol from the injector closest to the front of the car. Sent it in to the mechanic next to my work. That injector is fd in the A blah blah blah take it out find 6 new Turbo injectors from australia, get them here get them recond and put them back in and it isnt fireing. Spray engine start down intake and it coughs into life momentarily. Replace spark plugs, fresh fuel etc still not fireing. Options: 1) Place all 6 old ones back in a try one for one on the fucked injector. 2) Persist with new ones 3) Take to auto sparkys and check for pulse on injectors Any Other ideas would be great thanks. Matt

  16. Keep an eye out at pick a part. Theres usually a complete escort or two there. Im guessing your talking standard down draft
  17. Why so tough to get the Struts out? Usually a 30min job. Rusted on nuts?
  18. Whats wrong with Rally arches? Thinking of repowering?
  19. Whats the story for putting your car in the show? just show up? Have been given the keys to my brothers Vl for the weekend.
