General Car Chat / Re: Ford Probe V6 engine fault

I THINK THAT YOU VAUXHALL OWNERS ARE ONLY HALF RIGHT!
The Ford Probe is built by Mazda at a Mazda plant. The only thing Ford about the Probe is the Badge saying Ford!
The car is based on the Mazda MX-6 and comes in a 206 BHP GT version.
The Probe comes standard with leather seats, cruse control, central locking, Air con, electric seats, twin bag srs, ABS, electric mirrors, electric sunroof, tilt and slide steering wheel, disc brakes all round, Electric windows , pop-up headlamps, Coupe body and the boot is bigger than the Omega. All this on a 1995 car. Way ahead of its time.
I have owned an Omega and for the two years that i owned it, the car spent more time off the road than on it.
Head gasket problems, water pump. Gearbox faults. Master cylinder failed in Kent on Detling Hill. Snapped propshaft on the M4. EPS failed on Holiday. The list was endless.
Mind you, i guess 43k is quite a lot for a nasty GM spin off. It was a bag of crap.
Just think, the probe may be the Mazda MX-6's brother, but the brother of the Omega is the chevrolet lacetti...lol
My probe i have had for the last 5 years. It has just turned 100k and passed its MOT this week with out even a Advisory. I have not had a days problem with the car and its Bloody fast and better on fuel.
Give me Jap than Yank any-day.
