Suren27 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Diesel? Petrol?What year? Mileage? Few more deets if possible :) I just bought a Focus 1.6 diesel since i'll be doing 60 miles per day travelling. I heard that the diesel engines are very good. Focus for 2.5k i bought one 3 years ago for about 2 grand which was an 02 plate with 77k on the clock. Watch out for the mk1 as some of them have a speedo issue (my experience) where it would just die for about 20 seconds. Didn't hurt the engine or anything but apparently was a sensor. I sold my car and went travelling so didn't need to fix it. It was an intermittent issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The MK1/1.5's are prone to speedo sensor failure and earlier MK1's also had instrument cluster issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 If she's going to be making regular long journeys, get a diesel. For shorter journeys, a petrol would be better. You could get yourself a very tidy Mk1/1.5 Focus for that money, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Definately, you could get a very tidy Ghia for that money but it would be a higher miler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
