Id go there mon morning, put it on a tow truck tell them to freak off and take it home dont pay anything. They wouldn't give the slightest about your life, family. You are the one that owns the 25 yo car so if your after reliability go buy something else, they wont buy that story.

Put a weber on it then you can drive it, work on the efi off the car. the time you spent writing the letter you could have solved half the problems yourself.
Not keen on it, theres a million other people that would be able to work on it, ie. a mobile sparky could sort all your wiring out, you'll probably want the dissy set and running before you start playing with the efi anyway which the weber would help.

It even says it is strongly recomended that the car is running, timing etc before you start playing with the efi MS gear.

Its taken them this long to achieve nothing so what's the letter going to do?

I have to agree....I know your pissed, but a letter like that probably isn't the best way to go.
If thats a run down on how things are supposed to go it sounds like a late night and a few beers and a bit of head scratching in your garage may get it started as the letter seemed to explain it. Then it's just a tune.

very good point grant i have been throwing around ideas in my head 24/7........and trust me i have been....but i thought this would work but then again spose not[V]

after setting it up like that in the letter it did make it alot easier for me to understand, hmm so Rhys from what i have written do you rekn a few of us could get a grip of it sitting in my shed? if thats the case then i am more than happy to take it out tell them to suck on a "*****" and do it at home....... maybe we could organise a time some night in the next week? sparkling/pale ale all ice cold[;^)]

arghh! this shouldnt be my freaking problem! thats why i was paying someone to do it, thats the whole point of paying someone else to do it!!!

ohwell i'll speak to you soon then Rhys

cheers
Rhys

since the car is there i am going to drop the letter in, minus the smart ass coments but with the detailed information for them to do it and just make it clear that if there is no progress i am taking it out later that week and doing it myself..... its just that its already in there i may aswell give it a go[x2x][}:)]

Yes I be taking it Home, letters can get people angry but I guess that is their point. Pay nothing and enjoy the experince of doing it yourself. I am with Grant the Escort never gets left anywhere over night and if some works on it I am there watching them and learning.

Just my story.

Rhys,
Its up to you, if the manual is quite in depth etc then i don't see why not. After Uni exams could probably sit down and suss it out. Diodes and resistors etc send me up poo poo creek so if the manual is clear enough to say what size and where, then probably do-able.

Rhys

Hey Mate that is a really nice looking RS!
I live up at Hahndorf and will keep an Eye out for your car when im down south! I love those rims they would definately be my choice when i upgrade from the little 13's!
can't wait to get my car on the road again so i can get out and meet some of you guys.
Keep up the good work

hey buddy welcome to the forum, thanks for the comment.

yeh when your car is finished you should make it out to one of are cruises, hopefully my car will be back on the road for one in the near future, im dying to drive it again!

cheers
Rhys

i'd agree with (the other) Rhys and grant too. They've had their time.. Rhys says he'll help you, print off all the manuals and directions you have and follow that. It won't take more than a day or two. Me or grant can email you a map to get you going.

The directions/pics i emailed to you were meant for you to go down and check it over yourself and have a crack at troubleshooting it, they weren't really meant to be chopped into dot points and given to the tuners.

If they do get it going (using that letter) they'll be waiting another 80 days for the next set of directions. [88]

dude i remeber passing this scort on bains rd now.... i was like how does a student afford an rs 2 door like that when i was at school i strugled keeping my skatebooard on the road.....

anyway mate shes looking tidy and i love the wheel choice... were do u live mate that street looks like it near mine in reynella am i wqrong?

haha now you remember, i alwasy ment to try and pull over and get you on this site but i was always late for school!haha

i live a little more southern at seaford, always up around the reynella/happy valley area though as all my school mates live around there.

cheers
