They could have been a brilliant little car if Ford spent more than £4.50 developing it!
See mine but alright will admit it will need a clutch in the next 3 months I say. Mine wasn't well looked after l, I've brought it back to life. Lambs sensor seem ok. Heat Sheild the bolts are shagged but I'm powdercoating the manifold anyway. I guess you get some good one and bad one.
