One of the last to use the 1.4 8v OHV engines in mid-range spec. Usually these have the older style mid-range interior (with grey panelling) so it's nice to see one like this. :)

£5k! Jesus it's not even that good. The advert mentions bonnet fade and some laquer peel. A little laquer peel now will be all over the car in five years. Ask me how I know. The seller has obviously got rare mixed up with desirable. I'm not knocking the car, just the stupid price. The market for good Felicias is about six people and if I'm not interested that knocks it down to five.

Ah, it's been used as a home for pigs by the look of it

 

I had one of these in Alberto Green back in the late 90s on an N plate. A hateful machine with the horrible 1.3 HCS engine. It was painfully slow but quite nice inside. You need, at the very least, the 1.6 Zetec in a MK6 Escort.

Ha, I remember those from work. Quite a few of these where imported over here at one point. The speedometer faces where cream but obviously not all of them.

A work colleague dropped the cluster and smashed the lens on one.  It's the same cluster as a Fiat Ducato ect, so it was way easier than the owner thought it would be to fix.

Thank you for making sure I didn't. 🤣

You know, I was going to send you this earlier on today, looks like it's away now (I haven't bought it). I could tell you for a fact that the EML is probably to do with the blown exhaust as these 1.4s sometimes get arsey about the exhaust and the lambda shite.

Idk about the Fabia, but my uncle owned a Ibiza 6K2 with the 1.4 16v and the thing was on its 3rd engine at like 8 years old, many people here avoid them like the plague

Probably just the same. The 1.4 16v 100 (AUB coded) would self destruct its own piston rings in a lot of cases. However, I'm a gambling man, I'd take my chances with one. Plus they're ULEZ friendly. :D

My uncle's was a 100hp. 

It's said that the old AFH was a lot better though
