Shep Shepherd Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 An L-reg Java Blue GLX I spotted in Basildon yesterday evening: Apart from the mismatched wheel covers (2 originals, 1 Sierra GL, 1 Halfords special), it was pretty tidy and original and looked to be rust-free. Could be living on borrowed time, though, as according to the DVLA it has very little tax and MOT remaining.

Shep Shepherd Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If I ever see it again, I may well do that. I don't think it's likely that I'll encounter the car again, though, as I'm hardly ever in Basildon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Following the PAS fluid change on the Mazda, I thought I'd do the same on the Base. This needed it more, and steering does seem a bit smoother. However, my siphoning technique (thanks Chrisfix) wasn't quite as effective at getting the old stuff out on this car. danthecapriman and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Everything said is correct. My Dad went from an 88 Sierra 1.8lx to a 94 Mondeo 1.8lx and they were just night and day. Ps. Every morning I drive past an N reg white Hatch. For the first time in 3 years I saw it on the move today and they really do look like an old car now. Whilst curvy, it’s still dated. Also, for the first time ever, I could see the similarities between the mondeo and the Scorpio. I want one more than ever. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
