Miss-firing when cold, tip, check the viscosity of the engine oil, on the Ford Zetec engine it's crucial! I found this out the hard way. My fault, no-one else's!
L/H C.V. joint very noisy when I bought the car.
Flashing air-bag light.
Considering that Ford developed this car as a mile cruncher for company reps, what better car to own privately? cheap second-hand parts available at almost every breakers yard, comparatively cheap parts from most outlets, and fairly commonly available too!
Handling is more than adequate for what is quite a large car, OK. the 1.6 is a bit on the laclustre side, but here in Ireland road tax is based on engine size, and the 1.6 costs almost €350 a year to tax!
Please be so kind and tell me what problem you experienced with your engine and oil.
I use Mobile Synthetic 5W50 that is supposed to be good, but the oil consumption jumped from 60 grams to 120 grams / 1000 km at only 40000 km on board. I drive hard sometimes, but I don't believe a 2 liter engine should suffer from that.
