Not just today but in the last ten days fitted
new plugs, ignition leads, fuel filter, air filter, oil filter and new oil, brake fluid, wiper blades and (L) side front and rear ABS sensors. Still trying to track a cruise control fault. Cheers Vincenzo

I engineered out the dodgy Ford trans heat exchanger on my BF2 (so it can't kill the ZF 6spd !) http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...postcount=2056

Bought a new battery for it.
Went to the local tip,backed up to the tipface, unloaded a uteful of rubbish, jumped back in, turned the key and all I got was "click click click". On the upside, after replacing battery, I stopped at McDonald's for some breakfast and was given someone else's order. And they paid tons more than I did. Every cloud has a silver lining I guess.
