Rossz1 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 hi guys am having a few problems with my car. firstly it only seems to start on one cylinder and takes absolutely ages until it finally fires on all four, this is only when it is cold? it then starts overheating?? and the last problem is the car is shaking like mad i recently had it balanced and changed the ball joint, i think perhaps the pinch bolt may av been vibrating that bad it has worn down the hole it sits in, does anyone have any ideas how i could fix this without buying a new front knuckle? Cheers any help will be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 engine doesn't sound very healthy at all. I would get it properly inspected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossz1 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 yeah i think i will have to, all these problems have just come on whilst it hasnt been used bar the shaking etc. it is a cursed car, the clutch and flywheel went, the cam belt snapped at 65k when ford say 100k and had to have a completely new engine in and all other sort of problems.
