Hi guys very glad I found this site what a great lot you are.
Help and frendship great.

I have recently purchesed a 1995 92 k on clock 2.9 ultima estate to use for my Busness.
I havent had a ford for years my last one being a 2 litre granada in the mid eightys.
I have ran various bmw cars. and still own a 5 series.
The scopio is a great car and perfect for the bulky loads I now have to carry.
I have a few nigeling faults which seem to be coverd in your forums .The main items are 1 . slight smell of oil comeing in via heater intermitently , 2, When driven at moter way speeds, slight pull back if foot taken of acslerator. goies if I acselerete. Lambada sensors ?
3. air bag light flashes on dash I have read about clock spring but cant work out how do I get the air bag of, what type of heads are on the four screws under the stering wheel Sorry to put so much on first posting any help avise much aprecated.
John.

Hi and Welcome, ;D

I think your oil smell may well be the heater matrix leaking

j_a there are 2 20mm or 30m torque screws which hold the air bag in place but in order to get to them you have to remove the cowling from around the steering colum to get to them turn the wheel 1 way then other way to remove ok ;D maybe a good idea to disconnect battery too and leave for half hour b4 you start to remove air bag ;)
