found out my temperature sensor was knackered so My local mechanic is gettin me one tomorrow - said that was the problem

I was driving home from the garage and it went mental! The rev counter needle flicked all over the place the temp and fuel gauges were twitching and all the service lights in the dash kept flashing radomly, and it kept stalling.

Then immobilser turned it's self on and then off - and all in town centre!! I'm so ashamed!! I felt like I was in close encounters of the third kind!! (apart from all the locals looking and laughing at my poor 323f)

After much forcing it begrudgingly moved and sputtered down the road with several weird noises coming from the nearside wheel.

Anyone ever had that done to them?? or can some one tell me what thew hell happened!!

Never had that before, but many moons ago I did buy a Ford Probe and I had a problem with the immobiliser, it used to cut in when driving, apparantly this was a common fault with that type of immobiliser. The garage did something to it and sorted it... could be something to do with that but I doubt it.

Ford Probe- Please tell me you're joking?????

URRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

No offence meant!!!!!

Cheeky Git....... Well everyone has their own opinions, I quite like the cars just a shame they werent any faster. The V6 sounds great

Yeah, They aren't that bad I suppose, but they're a b*****d to service! I did 3 weeks work experience at a Ford Dealership, and We found them a pain in the a**e, and problem prone!

Like you said Each To Their Own!

Least you had the sense to switch to a 323F!!!!

Yeah - everyone's entitled to their own opinion, even if it IS wrong ...

OK back to the topic please

yes sounds like its the temperature sensor, not happened to me but heard it happened to a toyota avensis owner with pretty mcuh same prob as u got. the car kept on stalling but mainly when slowing right down or to a stop & its an auto. the revs was lower than usual as well.

yeah sounds about right - got to the garage he replaced the temp sensor - and my dad picked it up this afty (I was out) and he said everything's sorted - can't believe one sensor caused all that trouble!!
