    The bolts are sold seperately, but all comes in the same pack, oddly enough. I belive they got a few shillings in the scrapyard out of the old prop, i recogn

    Dramatic engine failure

    Wow dramatic footage in that you tube vídeo. I think that unplugging the battery positive terminal would kill the engine and thus saving it from total destruction. In stressfull situations sometimes we don't think clearly, i recogn.

    Revs drop when braking

    Motor is a 1999 2.0 Di Hyppo, if i rev the car and hold it at what ever RPM 2000, 3000, 4000 doesnt matter, as soon as i hit the brake while my foot is on the gas pedal, the revs drop right away. Any idea why?

    ABS Issues with 2000 XEDi

    Try double taping the brake pedal. Feel if the brake pads bite the disk and stop the car. You mention that your brake pedal feels spongy, that is a good indicator that might be some air traped somewhere. Double taping the pedal will compress the air and make your brakes work better. If...
