Revs used to drop sufficiently to cause the engine to stall when I dipped the clutch to come to a stop and change down into first. Would require ten seconds of holding it at 1,000 rpm to get it to start and keep going again.
Throttle body given a good clean out and no problems whatsoever now.

I had an escort the when I put my brakes my stereo went off
plus I had to re wire the horn and it ended up being a switch on top of the dash

My car likes misfiring and randomly trying to stall at about 40-55mph which gets exciting sometimes coolant needs constantly topping up but no obvious leak. Engine warning light permanently on. Engine rattles constantly and pisses out oil
On a completely unrelated note does anyone want to buy a car?

hmm, lets see now
my horn is a switch just to the right of the steering wheel (next to my headlight adjust) as the horn on the wheel does'nt work
if i dont start the car within 15 seconds of unlocking it the immobiliser kicks back in and it wont start
it takes at least 12 seconds to start anyway (not leaving much time to get in, and put the key in)
it had a rattle from the bottom engine cover that turned out to be a spanner that was in there
now instead of a rattle from down there the whole thing seems to vibrate when its stopped at junctions - i think the spanner was probably wedged in there to stop said vibration
oh, and i cant see very well out of the windows - but thats probably just my bad eyesight
all in all, not a bad little bus as my mechanic friend used to say

My car makes a low pitched 'toot' noise whenever the centre of my wheel is depressed. The longer it's depressed for the longer it sounds
I feel sad for your pathetic horn
