fatgeezer Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hi,already posted my first query 'Only one key' yesterday and have had some good response and advice to it.Thanks for that. This Focus is my first.It's a 1999 petrol 1.8 Ghia manual estate in silver. The last Ford I had was a MK2 Granada 2.8 Ghia about 17 years ago!. The Focus is my 62nd car, I actually passed my test in the rustiest MK1 Escort you ever saw,in 1975(ish). Since then I have had a few Fords including a MK2 Cortina 1600 (or was it a 1300),a MK1 Granada Ghia 3.0 (wonderful car - wish I still had it),a Capri 3.0S,a MK2 Capri 1.6 and various MK1 Escorts I used for grass tracking in the '80's. Back to the Focus. It was cheap!. I gave £500 for it. It's got a years MOT and 108000 miles on it. She had rear discs and pads for the MOT.There is a whole sheath of paperwork and bills,the cambelt having been done at 82000 in 2010 at a Ford dealer in Tetbury Gloucestershire where it seems to have spent a good deal of it's life,bill was £250. However it's not without it's problems as can be expected for a car at this price. I will,post these queries later on in the appropriate forum.I must admit she drives rather well. Positive steering,smooth gear changes,and she runs nicely. I was expecting to feel a bit claustrophobic in there,as my other car is an old Mercedes 300TE and the wife has a Mercedes E320,but I didn't. There seems to be plenty of room,and she's quite comfortable. I shall spend the morning on her with the hoover and some polish as the interior is a bit grubby. See you later with my 'other' queries. Bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
