Typical Essex image that most fast Fords have. I have to hand it to VW as well, the Mk5 Golf GTI is a much nicer finished car.

Than what? The Focus ST? Didn't think the engine mentioned here was in the Focus, thought the Mondeo ST220 had it?

Anyway back to these yokes, that T5, needing work for the NCT, you'd think they'd detail what they reckon is needed :rolleyes:

The outgoing Focus ST had the 220bhp 5 cylinder.

The engine that was in the Mk2 Focus RS was actually not dissimilar to the one you would find in a S60/V70R.

Oh yeah Sure the Mondeo ST220 was a 3 litre.

It says it needs a bit of work for the NCT, but I wonder what it is?

Well if, as the seller claims, the engine, gearbox & turbo are fine - what else is really left? Suspension needing an overhaul? Clutch gone maybe? Can't think of much else that might be expensive

Cat, cv joints, ABS light on as well as suspension, endless opportunities for wallet emptying :pac:

If it were an auto and had the 2 additional seats, I'd be very tempted to buy it

hey guys

need some help lookin to buy a corolla a choice of two they are both1.3 1999 and 70 miles and 4 doors and goin for 1500 euro , the only difference is one vvti and the other is standard , which would you guys recommend and could you guys tell me the differ between the two models? thanks

The non VVTi engine would have less of a chance of guzzling oil.

The doors don't look too bad. Looks like someone kicked them. Can't see the damage on the bonnet. OK for 500 yoyos.

Started reading this thread many moons ago. Went from Lurker to Apostle.
I posted the donedeal pics of the Merc when I bought it back in October. Today, the opportunity of a bit of sun and a good wash presented itself, so I took a pic or two on the iphone (quality isn't great)
It was bought for well within Bangernomics money and hasn't missed a beat in nearly seven thousand miles, crazy temperature drops included, I still get to and from work every day.
If you're thinking about putting your toe in the bangernomics water, I say go for it.
I'm still keeping my eye out for the next one, but I I'm happy wafting about in this in the meantime

With a big smile on my face.

The doors can stayed kicked in for €500 quid.
I'd even give it a go with one of the yokes Edd from Wheeler Dealers uses on dents.

Thanks, Its not Mint, its very clean, but not quite mint. It stops and starts on a dime, though.
I wouldn't think there's a queue for that 600. Personally, I couldnt afford to tax or fuel that beast, but I hate seeing quality like that go to waste.

With the bright evenings I can go look without breaking my backside out of work

I always liked those 190E's. It was the first car I was allowed to drive by an understanding uncle in private car park

It would be a runner for me if the work isn't serious. I don't think they were a serious rust raiser were they?

No, they are well built and no major rust should appear, but check the jacking points, wheel arches and the usual spots in these cars. Whatever is to be done to it, I doubt it will cost much if you buy the spares from the right source.
Good Luck with it.

Hopefully the seller will be better than the one from last week who stood me up :mad::mad:

The Passat will be more fun to drive than that 190. As a weekend car I don't see the point at all at all.

Ive said it before, but if that car is not a heap in the flesh, I will eat my hat.

I remember that Mick and you turned me off it. Its for sale a long time now and the price is gone up. I rang him and he seemed like a ashole tbh. I love the 600 though..
