I have Gone RWD :eek: PICS
OMG 
Not only do i resemble Jim Gallbollox, but ive bought a car like his 
sierra 2.0 GLS
RST going into garage over winter to be stripped, so i needed a runaround,.
This car is amazing, it drives like new, it has NO marks anywhere, engine bay is like new. Inside is mint, 2 owners, both old guys who looked after it. I cant beleive the condition of the car, i just had to buy the fooker £350 and is better cond than our lasses 1.8 escort si
Dont get gealous

Should last forever!! Could be the cheapest £350 worth of motoring you ever bought...
Just watch out for noisy cam chains (replace it) and sticking idle control valves (clean it out).
We had a customer with a DOHC engined Granny which was still going strong at 190k with no smoke. Just had a head gasket at 192k and off it went again for another few ks before he sold it on...

Cool cheers daz. It does idle nice, but its like a delayed action when you press the accelerator if ya get me. I.E when ya press the pedal, it doesnt start to rev until a second or so later. Not really a prob but it just makes setting off a bit of a bugger! Any ideas.
Its got 72k miles with sh up to 56. All past mots to prove mileage. I reckon if i wanted i could get 10 years out of it
