HI, Witless by name ... and witless by nature.

Just bought my second Ford in 38 years - the last one was a 1600 Capri in 1975. (Loved that car, but gpt sensible, bough a house, got married ... you know the story.)

I've bought a 2002 1.8 Focus Zetec estate which I collect later on today - 125000 miles, FFSH, ex govt vehicle. My lastcar was terminally ill (chassis rust) and this one cropped up in the right price range so took it.

Pic will follow later.

Having driven diesels for quite a while this will be a new experience for me so any tips will be very welcome.
