Hi guys, it's been a while since I have posted, and if this needs to go elsewhere, I'm sorry. I have recently sold my 19 year old Focus Mk 1.5 due to it coming to the end of it's life, and unfortunately it was time. The interior was still absolutely perfect, but the frame of the car was costing a fortune to keep roadworthy every MOT. I might have persisted with it, had it not developed a water leak several weeks ago. 

My last water leak with this car was due to a cracked water pump housing which wasn't a costly fix, this one however, was different. I found that the water looked as though it was coming from one of the engine pulleys, which if the case wouldn't be a cheap fix. I'd fill the coolant to max, then after only 5 miles it is minimum or even below. I was carrying 4 litres of water around with me for short trips.

I have since bought a nice 2011 plate 1.6 Zetec Focus with just 53k on it. Lovely car, and will hopefully give me many years of enjoyment.

As I said, if this post is in the wrong place, I apologise.

Thanks for reading.

Steve.
