Toms306s Project - Fodge!

[procta]

I miss old diesels, like the old Transit 2.5 or the Land Rover 2.25, totally indestructible. Even the XUD is complex is comparison

Lol, slightly off topic.....but I was working on a 1983 Escort CVH engine in college last week.....so easy to work on as there's literally nothing on it! And after 30 years its still running (just ).....can't imagine many of these modern cars will last that long. Oh and the reason it wouldn't run.....some little shit had put a pen top in the fuel line, so it couldn't get any fuel, once removed it was fine.

thats because the old cars of that time onwards to the late 90s were basic. none of this shitty sensors for sensors for sensors that montor things that dont even f*cking matter!

Those CVH engines were awful though, the most tappety sounding engine ever! My old man used to love them, he had a few XR3Is and an RS Turbo, constantly broken and all rusty

you could hear them a mile off, couldnt you! but you still got to love the retro!
also yesterday on the road i saw a D reg 3 door sierra RS cosworth in white. sounded so lush on tick over.
