Flattens its battery regularly, but I do low miles.
Nothing else gone wrong in six years.
A bit of rust on the sides of the doors due to lack of protection from walls!
The 1994 was a nightmare, engine failed and Ford took the whole car back after three months and gave me this one.
Exhaust has been replaced and the new one has never fitted properly (dealer fitted). It rattles and thumps on corners.
Apart from that I love this car, the big comfy seats, the blowers defrost within seconds on a morning and even by todays much higher equipment standards, it holds its own.
It has to go now due to a baby, but I would keep it forever and seriously feel it would last that long. Hasn't been serviced in three years either!
The problem with the exhaust can be fixed by getting two new exhaust rubbers, had the same problem with my Si, now it's fine.
Cost will be £50 including fitting.
Hasn't been serviced in three years either!
And then some people are complaining about their cars breaking down...
Yeah, too right mate!!!
I bought a 1995 Si. It's cost me £3000 in servicing to put right as none of the parts have been replaced i.e failed MoT!! Three thousand pounds!!! OK.
These cars need looking after, I've had to replace everything, even though I had bought it at the regular 3k price!!!
Rxample: front 2 lower arms, alternator, 4 new tyres, sump gasket seals and crankshaft... the list is endless...
Sooner or later I will have to buy a bloody clutch!!
