When living overseas as a kid, we had two Ford Capri's. Great cars. I
think the Capri's at the time were manufactured in Germany. A friend also
had a Cortina here in Canada, bought new.

i don't see you getting the car. i'd contact ebay and see what they say
about this.
do you live nearby? ebay contends that their deals are "valid contracts" so
why not avail youself of the local courts to cause this guy some difficulty?

deposit and email the guy
What's in hydraulic jack oil that makes it special? Is it more like

from a random bottle lying around into an old jack that I needed RIGHT
THEN. I think it was Quaker State 10W40 conventional. The jack
seemed to work fine. Wil

Other way around, Mazda pickups (since '94 at least) are Ford Rangers.
I have a '95 Mazda B2300, and I go to the Ford dealership for parts.

I know it works in the sense of "priming the pump" nicely and
preventing excessive cranking, but is it clean enough to safely send
it into the IP unfiltered, or have I just been lucky so
There's lots of Toyota and Nissan p/ups in the UK as well as Mazda and
Mitsubishi. What you see very few of thankfully, are the humongous things
that are omnipresent here.
Isn't the Ford Ranger really a Mazda anyway?? You mainly see Toyotas or
