I like to agree with Richard. I would add that it could be time to change the timing belt. If you are in the know of a good Ford garage in Rome I would let them do this job because the VCT engine is very modern and high tech. It should be done by mechanics who do it every day and not as a first approach. May be the Ford people are the choice anyway prior to a Morgan garage regarding this very engine when to change the timing belt. at least they do it more often.
