greengartside Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 To the People of Autoshite... Thinking of selling this on as I've got my heart set on a Mk5 Fiesta Zetec-S. ^^ Bird poop not included as it's been washed off. DEAL BREAKER YO. M.o.T until 30th July 2016, no tax due to the new tax laws. Three owners from new, the first owning the car for 11 years. 150,000 miles on the clock.I have owned the car for just over a year and have replaced the middle and back boxes of the exhaust and the front discs and pads. Has some service history, stamped up until about 30k ago.Electric windows, remote central locking, power steering and ABS/Traction Control which works as it should.As mentioned before, it has a M.o.T until July 2016 with no advisories noted. Drives 100% and will get you anywhere you need to be. Clutch and gearbox all in good order. Timing belt changed at 122,000 miles.The bad points are the tappets are noisy and there is a grumbling from the driveshaft when you pull away in 1st gear. I took it to my mechanic and he has said that it's nothing to worry about, and that a secondhand driveshaft would solve it. It's never got any worse in the year I've owned it. Just trying to be honest about the old girl. Usual scrapes and scratches to be expected for a 12 year old car that's lived in the countryside all it's life. Rear arches could do with repainting as they are showing some surface rust. I've gone over them with some paint but it's not the best job in the world. Price is £350, may consider a RAFL but I suspect finding 49 of you good, good people on here that would be interested in this would be a miracle. I've more chance of bumming Shergar to be honest. Car is located in South Norfolk, IP20 postcode, in East Anglia. Nearest train station is Diss, Norfolk. I will pick you up as it's about 10 miles away from Chez Greengartside. Thank you.

Hendry Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Does it burn/consume a lot of oil, that's the only reason I sold my old one and the only thing that puts me off buying another is getting one with the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 If it's an ecotec, they all do that sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengartside Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 It uses a little oil but not excessively so? I top it up about every three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
