1999 Ford Ka review from UK and Ireland
"Money magnet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The idle fuel injection valve has been replaced twice in the last two years £60 a pop.
I have no rust at all on the car it is 7 years old now lucky eh.
I cannot seem to lock my doors as my key will not open them again a expense I cannot afford.
Heating has blown three times now common problem on all fords,last time it caught fire and melted all my wires.
Rear bearing need replacing again they were done 3 years ago.
General comments?
I have had a big problem with brake fluid leaks last one cost me £220 to fix.
Rear wiper works sometimes.
But what gets me is I have to take out the battery every time I need to change a light bulb from lack of hand space.
