As above, What sort of money have you managed to get back? My misses car is an 02 st170 but now the clutch is slipping between idle and 3500rpm but then ok through to red line, so think flywheel knackered.. Could spend 500-600 in parts and fix it, sell it as is or break it.. not sure.

Other than this its been a great car!! Ideas on valuve for engine, box, shafts, suspension brakes etc be great..

 

Speak to Nomad on here, he's broken a few recently. They break very well so he says.

Is it really that much for a replacement clutch & flywheel, std one not a dmf?

 

I got about £3500 for mine, drunk driver ran into the back of me hard, which got repaird (badly never drove straight after that) then i ran into the back of someone and bent the front legs, i probably could of got more, got a grand for the engine and box with 37k on them, £350 interior, £250 xenon lights, £350 alloys n tyres etc.. mine was a 03 reg magnum grey one

 

Thats good money for the engine, Mine has 120k though.. but its sweet! dont burn oil, dont smoke or rattle and goes very well.. Its spend it early life up and down the M5 so little wear and tear compared to town driving low miles.
I do like it but I also fancy a Mk1 FRS and I know if I do the clutch then sell I dont think its will be worth while compared to breaking it and adding to the clutch money?

 

mind you. theres a few of the very first 02 reg focus's kickin around on ebay for around the 2k mark. hated mine, was the most gutless un responsive fuel drinking heap of shit ive ever owned, everything broke on it, one part was the speedo sensor in the gearbox, which cost me £119 for for, it was a piece of black plastic, with a connector on one end, that held in by a clip, about 1.5 inches long.. joke!!

 

I made 2k plus back from mine....

52 plate with 70k

 

Had mine 4 years and been great, handle well and goes well once in rev range..

Back to topic.. What is the average engine/box value?

 

Im thinking of getting another to be honest i do like them, thing i just got a bad example, i loved my TDCI sport imperial blue 3 door on a 54 reg.. rare one.. went like stink

 

Interesting topic this, I suppose your best source of info will come from someone who breaks these as mentioned.

 

just sell it whole mate!
