Focus Diesel Purchase - Advice
Hi guys,
I have to travel 70 miles each day for work. I sold my 2003 Focus 1.6 Petrol to buy a 1.8 MK1 Diesel. However, difference in the opinion about TDDI and TDCI totally confused me. I have a budget of £850 and looking for 2003/2004 Focus 1.8 Diesel but have following doubts?
1) Are TDCI engines are really bad?
2) Is it better to buy from private seller or trade seller?
3) Which is a better choice from below if they both have same price tag?
-- FF 1.8 TDCI 2004 3 previous owners, 75,000 miles, FSH or
-- FF 1.8 TDCI 2001 1 previous owner, 125,000 miles, FSH
Thanks in advance!

like buying any car a proven service history is a must with diesels, as they do need regualar servicing oil/filters glow plugs etc and injectors, private will always get you the best deal but no warranty, drive them and if it dont feel right walk away as plenty out there
