1996 Ford Ka 1 review from UK and Ireland
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear silencer fell off.
Recent service cost £450 - needed new discs & pads, £52 labour to fit a headlamp bulb (due to lack of access the complete headlamp unit needed to be removed).
Spark plug rusted in.
Currently the idling sensor is faulty.
General comments?
Running costs and the petrol consumption is higher than I imagined.
