i had a 1992 K plate pacifica blue xr2i 16v when it was only 3 years old, and guess what ,, it had to have 2 new sills and a nearside rear wing cos they had gone completely rotten - you could literally push your fingers through them, luckily the 6 year anti perforation warranty covered the work, but i thought, never im never buying a mk3 festa again, a 3 year old car FFS with that much rot !!! i'd hate to think how bad they are now, another 9 years down the line
