newbie here!!
To give you a good idea of running cost of one, you are looking at about £30 a week on maintainence alone. I bought mine 4 years ago and has cost me around £6k to maintain, tyres, servicing, bits etc, thats bearing in mind nothing major has gone wrong. The cooling system is a bit of a nightmare on these things, try and find one thats got new water hoses and water pump etc. They are good cars but need alot of love and care. Good luck.

Koyo bleed screw thread size?
Yas, either put the one in off the stock rad, it should work fine. Failing that ford escort 1.4 k reg temp transmitter, should fit, if my memory serves me correct.

Might be worth checking the kickdown switch is working ok, If you floor the accelerator with the ignition on but the engine off, the pedal will press a switch on the floor which operates the kickdown, if this is stuck down i think it will give you problems when its trying to get into top gear. Not 100% sure on this but worth a quick check.

Boost Guage Dead!
Check the balance bar isnt missing a rubber hose off it. After that you may need to see the back of the clocks and trace it back.

Rough Engine, Missing In Lows Revs???
make sure all your coil packs are pressed down firmly. Have you changed the fuel filter yet?

Overdrive Problems
Fist thing id try is an ecu reset, just disconnect the battery for about 1/2 an hour then take it for a 20 mile drive to re-learn.

Ever rising boost
Me and chunk are of the feeling its not the boost controller, as its alarming ok, but it doesnt back off like it should, just keeps on boosting, it hit 17, with the warning/limiter set to 14psi. Almost like the boost controller is telling the wastegates to move, but they are not doing so.
