Default Ford Ka NO LONGER FOR SALE

Keeping for a good few months now as a spare / backup car, thanks.


One lady owner from new ( always amuses me when people put that, like it's a good thing? ) Well in this case it's not !

good bits , mot'd until 29th oct 2014 !

Tax until march or april ( will have to check )

engine just seems indestructible!

Its blue

That it really



124k full service history up to 50k then, not serviced! I'm sure it had an oil change at about 80k ish, when the water pump broke, but I'm not 100%

basically if important stuff broke, it was fixed, if it wasn't important it was ignored ( even then fixed may mean using cable ties and electrical tape! )

heating works permently until the water has leaked out of various pipes for a few weeks, then needs topping up, hasn't had anti freeze in it for years, so the waters always a rusty colour. Oh and when the heating works , you can't turn it to cool air, as the heating valve ( common issue ) doesn't work, as I removed its guts so at least you get warm air.

It does have electric windows, and they work, so cool air is available.

Air con, doubt it works?

heated front screen, working in a few patches, not much use though.

Remote central locking, doesn't work from the key ( probablythe battery , easy fix is what people say, don't they, then fix it! ) in thiscase I tried a new battery, and it still don't work. key works in the door andcentral locking works ok. boot lock key don't work, but will pop via the dashbutton.

stereo has a cd player, but passenger door speaker is intermittent

the body as you would expect , is mint, apart from, dings inthe doors, rusty fuel cap, various other rust spots here and there, washed mostweeks when it rains, MOT advisory for corrosion underneath somewhere.

Interior, generally a health hazard, always over the stablesin it, so it's a mess, will clear the rubbish out though!

Tyres have 2-3mm on

reason for sale, baby and pram, into a KA is just a pain.

so my price! £300 ( or will swap for an escort cosworth )



where did I come up with such a silly figure?

Well if can't sell it for that, ill scrap it, say £130,wheels separate £60 eBay, stereo out £30 and cash in the few months road tax.

Probably other bits a forgot that don't work, but it drivesand stops ok, may add some photos, might not.
