jeebowhite Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Crikey, sorry to hear it matey, hopefully you get its worth or can an under bonnet swap resolve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 It all depends upon the insurance asseser when they come as to wether it's a write off or can be repaired but it looks like it could be a full engine rebuild :( Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Ouch, mate I sympathise and hope for better success with the next rebuild or replacement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 So sorry to hear this. :( I'm sad for you and for the loss of another MK1. Im worried that they will go into a rapid decline like the Escort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Paul just read about this really sorry to hear about it. If they write it off you could always buy it off them usualy get it pretty cheap and then put a new engine in? Otherwise new car, what would you think about getting.

paul_focus Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 It's just if the cost of rebuilding the entire engine bay outways the cost of the entire car it's wrote off that's my main concern :( Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Sorry to hear this, hopefully the insurance will be fair to you. Are you still thinking about getting a new car like you mentioned at Ford Fair? If you get a decent payout from the insurance you could use it as a deposit.
