Had mine nearly 10 years, covered over 50k and its dumped me twice...
Once in 02 when it threw a ring, and just a couple of months ago the distibutor packed in...
Been running about 1 bar boost for over 8 years now, but its no longer an everyday car
Oh, and i once bust a gearbox at Croft but just managed to limp home on it.
Ive never known a ford like it, all the other ones ive had have been complete shite!!!
