I'm certainly taking your suggestions on board, you are of much help.

I would love a scan gauge (or similar) but I haven't had any luck with the OBD port, the car has one, but it Europe they became mandatory around 2000 or 2001, my car is 98, and Ford stopped with the escort in 2000. Some escorts will communicate and some wont, even with Ford software.

I am considering an MPGuino but I'm not so good with electrics, I did come across a chap in eastern Europe who was selling them prebuilt. But first I need to sit down and look at the wiring diagrams of the car to see what wires I could tap into.
