right the Mondeo is now up for sale as I am replacing it with a £1500 runaround to dump off at the train station and park up when on site visits in Belfast so I have decided to get a fun car and my favorite is a 2003 mk1 focus RS. I have been offered on that I have known from new. the original owner was a friend and it was sold to another guy a couple of miles from my house but since he has owned it I rarely saw it so don't know if it was abused or pampered. I am looking for any advice as to what I have to look for or any known problems with them so I know what to look for. it has been modded a bit with a dump valve and a bit more boost but is standard apart from that. Also what is the interior like do the seat and leather hold up or do they get manky..

any help would be great
