low energy light bulbs
been using them for about 2 years right through the house. The only room that doesn't have them is the kitchen as they are halogen and the LED replacements look crap and won't fit in the shades. They are much better that the early ones but for some reason the bathroom one has packed in a few times it's a shorter one in an approved bathroom unit too, load of crap

sub and amp suggestions?
bang for buck a pair of jbl gt5's and a jbl14001e mono block will rock(and I mean proper loud) and are pretty good for sq too setting you back about £350 new for the lot you can push the full 700w rms through each of those puppies from that amp(it will do a full true 1400w rms if you don't believe me get on the audio forums) all day and they'll love it bit lower power 2 x gt5's and a 7001e 350w rms to each sub( a true 700w rms from the 7001e) and cost you about £250 the lot unless your talkin bigs buck for hi end JL Audio, focal, morel or the like you aint gonna do as good as the above for your budget

nzr crap oil filter
I hope not my money (and fingers crossed) is on the shite filter if not will have to get a sandwich plate adapter with a deep thread or summit. I'd have put the old one back on for the night but was a twat to get off and had to put a screwdriver through it as my chain filter tool thingy couldn't get access whats the thread on the block side made of any ideas? looking at the escort k&n filters they have a nut on the end of them for wrench tightening http://www.autoanything.com/oil-filters/Ford/Escort/110A50593A0A0A6A187A1.aspx working on that theory the Escort thread can take some tightening and hopefully my strong right arm :D has only done the £5 filter in

nzr crap oil filter
it sheared real easy as the filter had oil on the outside I couldn't turn it with my left hand proper fed up as it was fairly dear oil think it must have been a poorly made filter but was all I could get today. I'll have a good look at it tommorrow with a view to getting a refund and some replacement oil

nzr crap oil filter
just did an oil change on the escort, tightened new filter, slid right under to give it a firm tighten with my un oily right hand and the feckin thing sheared the thread. Tightened it an bit more as it was spinning to be able to move the car from kerbside topped it up and moved it. Got about half way round the block to my parking space red oil light then came on with about 4 litres of shell helix sprayed everywhere ffs. Think I shall retain the filter for return and some more oil. What a load of crap

boost leak in escort turbo diesel
must be an escort thing then it doesn't smoke or use any oil at all goes like a bomb again now the split was nearly an inch long. Also had a bit of a read elsewhere an a guy was running a td escort at 30 psi with no ill effects sold it on after 6 months of that and was still running fine 2 years later. Don't know if he had to alter the fuelling at all though I can't find any info. Would be nice to have a play the actuator looks adjustable too it has a nut and windey bit on it :cool:

boost leak in escort turbo diesel
well I had a good look today and fixed it, long live the escort! Made a boost leak tester(took air filter pipe off, put it around my gob and blew hard) had a feel around all the pipes coming out of the turbo and felt a huge split on the back of the main pipe between the turbo and intercooler. However there is a fair amount of oil inside this pipe I take it this means the turbo oil seals are on there way out or is this normal for a diesel

boost leak in escort turbo diesel
On my escort TD I have (i think ) a large boost leak that makes a whooshing sound that can be heard in the cab quite loud. The faster the turbo spins the louder the noise gets. I'm not loosing any oil or coolant that is noticable , power is down and the vehicle is not smoking at all so I'm guessing the turbo housing aint cracked or owt. I have checked the large pipe going to the plenum and put new jubilee clips on it. Could the turbo be knackered and not leak fluids also do the plenum thingies have gaskets that could go or any othe pipes? Not overly concerned as it's a bit of a shed anyways but would like to run it til it's next mot time.

ebay fees
it's too big already competition would be costly to set up and at great risk . There was a welsh bay down here online which lasted all of 5 mins.
