NickBA-XR6T Bronze Donating Members 386 Member For: 13y 25d Posted 18/07/16 12:05 AM Author Share Posted 18/07/16 12:05 AM Just purchased the car recently. In great condition bodywise and runs smooth. Was just down on power and economy. Obviously this is a contributing factor. I also just changed the plugs over the weekend, they were also due for a change by the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickBA-XR6T Bronze Donating Members 386 Member For: 13y 25d Posted 18/07/16 12:09 AM Author Share Posted 18/07/16 12:09 AM Car has only done 144,000. Original owner was the NSW State Government so I am confident it would have been serviced as per the Ford logbooks up until it came off lease. The owner before me must have paid very little attention to continuing the service history. The spare tyre has never even been used it is still in original condition in the boot and all the interior etc is in perfect condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I can see your problem, your car seems to be missing it's turbocharger. I agree with keith, water has probably got in there.
