Right another one.

I'm flexible yet I'm fixed.

I keep my friends bathed, without me you'd grind to a halt, until recently I was not found on BMWs

    I was not on the earlier Escorts (MK1 & 2) nor on Sierras with the exceptions of the XR4x4 and the RS Cosworth; but have been on Fiestas since their launch in 1976.
