sierraman Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I'll upload pics later when I'm at home... 2003 Focus 1.6LX 53 plate MOT until August £14-15 a month to tax Has some history but its mostly old service book and a few receipts from my tenure 128k 4 good Barum tyres Its had recent clutch master cylinder, droplink and a CV boot fitted. Prior to me buying it it has had a new clutch and timing belt at approx 100k. Has been welded on the inner arches to boot floor join, they frequently go there, however its been repaired properly with a seam welded repair patch and thoroughly waxoyled after. Body is solid, has been waxoyled underneath. A few scabs on the arches but nothing serious. 2 keys, unlocks from passenger side door, doesn't really bother me but I'll mention it anyway. Would make a decent car for someone I'm after £400. Located in Sheffield, it's available from 30th April onwards. Though you are welcome to come and look at it whenever.

mrbenn Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 For 400 notes with the expensive bits (clutch and timing belt) done, I really don't see how you can go wrong with one of these. A solid underside is a big bonus. GLWTS. Wingz123, wrenchvolt, sierraman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Wasn't planning on selling it but I've bought a 1 owner newer one at a price I couldn't turn down so. It is what it is, of probably no worse than one at £7-800. Given shorter test I can work something out with the price anyway. binhoker668, wrenchvolt and Jim Bell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Quick enough to enjoy the handling. I've genuinely never driven a better FWD chassis, it hangs on the bends like its on rails. You get quickly used to the truck like gate but 5th is cruising only, its a bit high and wide from 4th for my liking. That said it'll sit all day at 80-90 once it's up to speed. Has a lovely noise that Fords make when you give them stick over 3k. binhoker668, MikeR and mrbenn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Given the test is up end of May I've dropped price to £250 shiters price. Bren, robinmasters, wrenchvolt and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbenn Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Stone me, now that is a cheap car. Given that the only problem on the current MOT certificate is for a kid's seat "not allowing full inspection of adult belt", this could be a belter. If I needed a cheap car then I should be on this in a similar manner to that in which a homeless person may approach discarded chips. wrenchvolt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 If its had anything wrong I've done the work. Its had new drop link, CV boot and an expansion tank fitted in the last few weeks. I have noticed there is a slight judder through the brakes, its run out on the discs. No ABS lights etc, pair of Mintex Discs are £37 if that bothers you. If you want any more pics of it I'll post them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I think the Mk1 Focus is a really, really smart looking car. If I had the wedge in one hit then I would have that, just for the experience of actually getting to drive one. wrenchvolt, mrbenn, Jim Bell and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
