So after a few years of not owning a blue oval I've ended up with a reasonably nice ST170.
After an accident in my 93 (not my fault) I needed a car to fill the gap. I found an ST170 for sale cheap with 44k on the clock and an overheating issue.
This evening was spent replacing the water pump, flushing the cooling system and fitting a new thermostat.
Half an hour later the issue was found
New pump fitted along with a new thermostat from Mahle who make a lot of o.e stuff for Ford and Vw etc
Plan tomorrow is to give it a tidy/clean up and find out why the engine light is on (i'm guessing lambda sensor)...First impressions are good over all of the car...it reminds me of my old Fiesta SI with the way it handles and goes really well, actually very impressed by it to be honest.
