Just been offered one cheap as a runaround car seeing as my Fiesta 1.3 is nearly dead

Just wondered if anybody had any experience, what they like etc? They really as slow as people make out?

Cheers

I have a Fiesta Diesel and it is sluggish but dpending in the pump that is fitted depend on whether it can be quick or okish

 

i had a 1800 diesel mk 3 and it was bullet proof did 60 miles a day flat out gave it death everywhere and it didnt miss a beat never serviced it

 

i had one for a while,i thought it was quite fast for a diesel,if you want sluggish get a mk6 esc van

 

Agreed but if your car/van has a bosch pump it can be adjusted very simply then it becomes quick, but if it is CAV then you are stuck with sluggish

 

they are quicker than a fiesta 1.3, mine was very nippy, get one with a bosch pump, seemed quicker to me that my older fiesta diesel i had!

never missed a beat, i ragged the fuck out of the car for 30k and it was fine still.

 

i've got a 1.8 turbo diesel fiesta van thats fairly quick it's got a mondeo td head and turbo etc fitted

 

How did you get it to fit with the servo getting in the way ?

 

not sure to be honest its how i bought it i'll take some photo's over the weekend and post them up so you have some idea

 

quick update the van is now fecked some one has just drove past and had there tyre blow out and smashed the van definate write off
