Hi all. Some of you may already kinda know me. Lol

Firstly I want to appologise again for my outburst. So sorry.

As for me. I'm 27 and I live in Basildon Essex. Fords homeland. Lol

I've had 29 cars since I was 18. Including xr3i's, civics, bmw's and golfs aswell as a few other bangers.

Ever since I drove a Honda CRX vtec I have been a big fan of them. So much I've had 7 of them. Nothing I have driven has put a bigger smile on my face.

But in 2008 I decided to buy an ST and I haven't looked back since. Mostly because I still owe money on it. Lol. On a serious note I've loved the car apart from 2 new gear boxes and a water pump later. It's the newest car I've ever had and I've been pretty happy about it. I only regret one thing and that was replacing the standard wheels with cheap ones. I've buckled three sets of cheap pooh wheels.

Now I'm getting old I think a quick diesel is in order like an Audi a3 or something.

Welcome along mate No hard fellings

FTW

Welcome matey, I saw the thing in the lot, dont worry about it everyone deserves a fresh start, and on the subject of getting old thats bollox your never too old fella! Get stuck in!

Welcome mate. My dad has an xr3i and he loves it! 2 gearboxes though!!! What went wrong?

A found a leak from the box so I took it into ford while still under warranty and the told me something really unusual happened.

A bolt had come loose in the box and smashed through the bell housing.

So 3 days later I got it back with a new box, clutch and dual mass fly wheel so I was pretty happy.

Well until I found another puddle of gear box oil.

Turns out that gearbox had a hole bored out to big for a sensor and they couldn't seal it so I had to wait 3 weeks for another gearbox.

All is good now though.
