Advantages: Common car (not this particular model)

Disadvantages: No workshop manual available

I recently replace my old VW Golf that had given me many pleasurable trips, as the head gasket blew and it wasn?t cost effective to repair. I managed to get a 1992 Ford Orion Ghia EFi, at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, whilst it is a nice, comfortable car to drive, and has all the little luxuries like electric front windows, power steering and a factory fitted sunroof, it has decided that it will throw some idiosyncrasies up at me: -
· The air filter fills with oil
· The power steering fluid levels drop ? due to a worn inlet pipe on the steering rack.
· A nerve wrenching sound when cornering left under power, as if something is going to fall off.

I am in desperate need of a Ford trained mechanic, who would like to make some money fixing the car. I am base in Blandford, Dorset, but will be willing to travel within reason.
Unfortunately, if nobody comes to my rescue, the car will be heading off into the great junkyard in the sky, which will be a pity, because it is still in very good nick. I replaced the complete exhaust system & two front tyres less than a month ago.

Can anybody out there help me????
