mk1/2 mondeo diesel! cheap to run and insure and go on forever. performance is a bit lacking but not too bad on the motorways good for over a ton. you sould be able to pick up a mk1 for a couple of hundred quid. I paid 400 for one and it lasted 3 years and 120 k miles

im selling my p reg volvo 460 1.9tdi, half leather, e/w, e/m, s/r, heated seats, p/s, alloys ect ect 12 month mot 3 months tax £700 and i might take your fezza in px

reliable car, 40-50mpg, and goes like a train, plus being a volvo its built like atank, and the coppers never bother you in it

[Mr Sam]

clutch feels fine, the only problems with the car are as follows:

rear arches are starting to go

slow puncture on front tyre

drivers heated seat not working

tracking needs doin although this is prob more to do wqith the puncture.

just had new rear calapers and a few other bits and bobs for the mot. iv had the car for 3 years and its never let me down loads of bills and history with it

as for your fizzy, is it still driving, what will it need for the mot, what do you think its worth?

there is a petrol 2l 460 on ebay now for £1100 ,

i put the car on here for sale as id rather it go to someone i know as its a good little motor

[Mr Sam]

wings

rear brake cylinder

welding in the footwell

reverse light fixing/removing

a starter

 

and loads of other bits lol, i might start on the welding in a bit as i would rather keep it

mk6 escort, ive just bought one for £250 with a 1.8 zetec (for the cortina) with a full MOT and a genuine 59k on the clock!

[Stu_B]

Rover 414 (k-series) cheap as chips & great fun to drive if you use the revs! Cheap tax & insurance & very comfy

[Messenjah]

and ull be under the bonnet changing the head gasket more often then driving the car

[Stu_B]

this cars been owned by a mate, then my bro then me since 90,000k - It's now on 130,000 & still going strong! Gets ragged everyday, the cooling fan doesn't work & never had a head gasket problem (touch wood)

[john_3.0s]

and ull be under the bonnet changing the head gasket more often then driving the car

 

lol agreed mate, absolute $hite. mine lasted 500 miles before the headgasket went. sold it on the 'bay for 20 quid on sunday, although thats what i paid for it - happy days.

 

diesel mondeo im telling ya! parts cheap, it will never get nicked and it will go on for as long as you can stand it. my first one did 275k and was still going strong when i scrapped it, my second one went on to 190k when i finally bought a mk3

mk2 fiesta.... stick with ford

[mk2_escort_chick]

KEEP THE MK1 YOU FOOL!!!!!

My mk1 fezzy is my daily drive ,

although I'm going french again when I take her off the road *hopefully nxt month*

[sab6024]

I'd keep the Fezza if I were you only coz I want one My brother always sorts out my daily's for me now. He's given me 3 so far for me to finish off. 2 mk5 Escorts which went for scrap and now I'm killing a Scorpio.

 

Have you got any mates who work in dealerships? Mine are all shitty trade ins

go on, you know you want to failing that I'd say something along the lines of a volvo, built like a tank and you can pretend you're in the sweedish mafia

[orionmojo]

jimbob's selling a mk2 orion mate.. they're cracking cars really

 

rarer than escorts, lighter than escorts (yes, really) the 1.6 mfi is exactly the same engine as the XR3 but you dont get the badge, therefore you dont get the insurance . parts are still relatively easy to source.

 

(have i sold it yet )

Im after a mk1 fezza for my son,i know he's only 4 but that's what he want's.I wonna buy one now and dry store it for when he's older,he'll never afford one in 14 year's time

 

Failing that,keep the fezz on the side line's and go for an early KA.
