me too. I not a huge fan of the modern stuff myself and don't bother with any gadgets in a car aside from Bluetooth music connectivity

Major disappointment when I picked up the hire car for our long weekend in the remote West of Ireland. Its like being back in the early 2000s inside. Having said that its quite an honest little thing. Don't get me wrong its a terrible car and the ride on these roads is baaaad, but it doesn't feel bloated and has pretty decent steering. Wouldn't have one in a million years but a definite reminder that small cars really shouldn't be fat and bloated need to resist looking at prices of Panda 100HPs.......

The true story of the car has been revealed on the FB page

UK Haynes doesn't cover the 2 cylinder version but the carb setup for the 4 cylinder carb isn't that helpful

I used to know all the suffix and prefix of the KHCT fleet in the early 90s. Metrobuses were SAG...W or LAT...V Suddenly dawns on me why I never had any girlfriends when I was a teen 🤔 EDIT: Probably still could reel them all off 30 years later 😳

onboard a KHCT MCW Metrobus sometime in the 80s

I guess checking coolant level is likely good enough confirmation that its the matrix ( or the pipes into the matrix) but to confirm just take the driver's side centre console trim off and you get perfect view of the hoses and the Matrix

guessing the damp carpet and sweet smell could be leaky heater matrix. Not too bad a job apparently

what a fabulous looking trip, and great cars

there is a nice 6 page feature on the Mk1 Mondeo in this month's Classic Retro Modern Mag

that was for sale a couple of years ago , that body kit is absolutely hideous. I bloody love it
