think my brother bought one, what are they like for bother? any fuel problems like old mk3s?
what are they like at high millage?
cheers andrew

 

Not had any problems with work machines, other than blowing a few tailight bulbs, that said highest miler we have is on 50k currently. Did have an issue with a clutch pedal that went right to the floor and spent some time in Ford, due to a master cylinder failure.

 

My dad had one when they first came out, a 57 reg auto. He ran it to 130k+ in just over 3 years and it was faultless, literally nothing but services. It's still in the company now as it's too good to get rid of.

He got a 10 reg 163ps auto to replace it and at first it felt nowhere near as fast as the old one.

Real well screwed together compared to the mk3's.
