    Fredrik, listen to these guys because most of us who have owned these cars have replaced the Coil on plugs (COPS) on our cars. If not it is because they haven't driven them enough. In 104,000 miles on my first Tbird I had every one replaced at least once and number 7 twice. Fortunately I was always under the 100,000 mile Ford warranty on this item. They knew they had a problem but they protected their customers for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Once you have all the COPS changed and new platinum tipped spark plugs you should be good for many more miles!

      I tried to find out what year your Tbird was. I assume it is a 2002 from the spark plug remark in post #22.

          Let's see, Fredrik, Greece is: warm; lots of light; nice food; and it will make Anna and the children happy. Sounds like the plugs will wait a bit.

                Maybe they will sell you the parts cheaper in Greece. There may be some parts there in Greece for your car. I think Sweden is probably one of the most expensive countries I have ever visited, higher even than Switzerland. Sales taxes are probably the reason, especially on beer and whiskey. Maybe not on auto parts.

                      Reading your posts remind me of my father who came from Ahs Kloster in Halland, Sverige.

                      He had a quote I liked very much, here it goes; "It doesn't pay to complain because half of the people don't even care about your problems, and the other half are probably glad you got what you deserved." It is a good quote for me to remember before I complain to somebody.

                            Finaly some steps in right direction for my Bird
                            Got the new sparkplugs yesterday mounted them today and the car runs on all cylinders
                            seems like the electrical problem is that something takets the power off the battery When the ignition is turned off so When i have charged My new battery everything works and next day the problem is back
                            souns like something is buzzing under the dashpanel passengerside When the key is out, it sound like a servo motor that direkt the air channels in the fan system or something like that ( hope you know what i mean dont know what Its called in English
