Richard G Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Is there any documentation (as per the old Parker's guides) that give details of when changes to included equipment on the Ka (Pre 2009) for the various Trim levels occurred It looks like the one we have is suffering the old age problems of cars where old age makes it just about as economic to consider a newer one Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard G Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 starting to look at 54 / 05's as to price mileage & spec Of those with ABS does that then mean that it is disc's all round instead of drum's on the rear and are the calipers thus R/H "wind back" rather than just push Does this age of the vehicle still suffer with all the same suspension problems as well thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've looked on Ford's ETIS at the spec of some that have ABS and they do say "4 wheel" (didn't know any manuf had ever done ABS systems on only the front) I'll take your points above into mind when looking at vehicles Might even take a big bar & "means" to jack front up so as to check for top mount movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent via the 'Clacks' GNU STP Thanks It confirms what reference to my TIS disc said that Ka's can have ABS on a rear drum I always thought that shoes & drums didn't work fast enough for ABS to function properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
