Eyersey1234 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Car booked in for service and cambelt replacement at the end of the month. As it will be off the road for a couple of days or so I will need transport, I'm torn between buying some chod or hiring a car for a few days.

Eyersey1234 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I've successfully bid for some chod on a certain bay of E. All being well I collect Sunday. Any guesses as to what I've bought? It isn't a Ford. BL Bloke and Dan302 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 They had bought a new car so the Matiz had to go. I've only done a few miles so far but it drives really nicely. It's done just under 91000 miles. mrbenn, Jim Bell and Dan302 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyrew Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 £250! Well bought. Some real bargains out there at the moment. Eyersey1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thanks I think so too, there's a few marks on it but that's to be expected given its age and the air con doesn't work but never did in the 7 years the previous owner had it either.

Eyersey1234 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Took the Focus for a run out to Rutland this morning, over 200 mile round trip. Boy was I glad of the air conditioning. Now done over 13000 miles since purchase. Dan302 and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 I thought about taking the Matiz this morning but as the air conditioning doesn't work and I haven't had it long enough to be sure about its reliability I thought best take the Focus, though I want to give the Matiz a decent run out somewhere. The seller said the only time the Matiz let them down in nearly 7 years was last winter when the battery failed. mrbenn and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Just got a secondhand parcel shelf for the Focus off bay of E. £36 including delivery not bad. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
