Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Eastern Canada Purchased 1998 SVT Contour

Wow. Dejavu.

I just bought a lightly modded 1998 SVT Contour at Summit Ford with 72k and a PremiumCare ESP (good till 2006) and also have a 1996 SE 5ps. I also have a Ractive Heat Shield Filter.

Thank god I don't have any problems with my transmission, but my car is at the dealer right now for the lock cylinder issue. I have 3 keys, 2 of which are originals and are VERY difficult to insert and remove. You have to really jiggle them to get them in or out. Metal shavings were coming out of the lock. (Not good!) The 3rd key was cut after and is easier to get in and out but still sticks.

I've got a Focus right now as a loner but I sure want my SVT back. (Not to knock the Focus, it's a nice car but the Focus Wagon with auto and manual windows is a lot different then a SVT)
