Last day in the xr...
Today is my last day in my fiesta, it coming off the road for a while as it just eating all my money up, not looking forward to paying to keep her but can't face selling her!
But the question is what shall I do with it, options are:
Rebuild what I have,
Rs turbo it,
Don't like this but sell up and get something else!

Does have a few teething probs, it all works fine just very juicy and taps a bit, expected really as it's just gone to 10100 miles. No smoke or anything just needs time and money, can't do it when it's on the road cos it's just too much to run and I use it for work so can't not have it working, my wallet says sell it my head says don't even think such thoughts!!!

Keep it and restore it!
I sold my Sierra a few weeks back and really wish I hadn't but I couldnt afford to keep it anymore, I was speaking to my Dad a few days later and he said "You should never sell your car if your skint because you wont ever find the money to replace it!" and the way my funds are dwindling very very quickly its looking like it might be true!

The cvh engines are easy to work on. Take it out and rebuild it fella. Just take your time with it. I rebuilt my old xr3i years ago and it was a flying machine when it was done.
