DoctorRetro Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I know it has Ford badges on, but I refuse to believe it is a Ford, as I don't do Fords! Feel free to joke about how long I'll keep it or when I'll paint the wheels etc Actually very impressed so far, it's much bigger than I even expected.

Lankytim Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I was hunting one of these a while back and found that every one within my budget was totally clapped out. I'd love a go in a fairly smart one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passenger side one was done in the week but I noticed afterwards the drivers side started to rattle a bit....I was going to change it too but it was bank holiday and I couldn’t get one...

The links are less than a tenner and are fifteen minutes to change Phew. Just seen them on ebay 12 quid for a pair. That puts my mind at rest - I'd hear that Fords are notorious for eating suspension components. I'm no mechanic, but I can handle that. I even have a ball joint splitter. Oddly though, it sounds like the sound is coming from the passenger side. ? Besides that minor thing, it's a great car. I'm treating it to a valet today, and I'll be going round it with some t-cut when I get a chance. I do feel like I got the better end of the deal....

NorthernMonkey Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I haven’t seen the 320 yet so I couldn’t comment but as long as your happy with it and it does you and your lad good service, then I’m more than happy with the deal, honestly ?

Just wanted to know if they're the same as mine, so I can buy more numbers for it for Wednesday's draw!
