But will the replacement give you as much joy or such a friendly forum to support it and you

Nah

Hope you manage to get it all sorted. Be a shame to see you let go of the 75.

Hiya Steve And.... You don't think I am aware of that.? On the other hand, I see my sis driving around in her crappy little peugeot without a care in the world... That is all I want, I am fed up of being on tenterhooks every time i get into my car... I have had it 4 years now, been the best car, and more likely will be, that I will ever own... Or have.. But, everyone know's about the problems with the 1.8..... That cannot be denied.... Had my mind made up tonight on the spur of one post.... Impetuous maybe, but that is me at times...

How about this as a possible replacement poppy just had the clutch done and low mileage for a diesel.

The 1.8 as discussed many times gets a slating or so it appears as people only post on the engine when they suspect HGF and often this is the first assumption before actually checking. Read up on the 1.8 K series off forum it has an incredibly positive rating.

But, at the end of the day as sad as it will be if you give the car up you must let your head rule your heart.

Hiya. One I cannot get the link up at the moment, two, doubt if i could afford whatever it is anyway.... I probably now own a car that is only worth scrap value...

Hiya. I read all the time about the k series engine.... But it seems that no matter how vigilant I am... And I am, I can assure you.... It seems to be a problem for all....

don't think like that!!!
i would suggest sleeping on/with it??? and see how you feel about it tommorow or you could do a swap for my escort (does 45+ mpg!).

















actually forget that i couldn't let anyone else suffer the escort i'm not that cruel!!!
