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...

DoctorRetro Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Would be so funny if this was the one car I fell for and kept forever... Although the result of the Multipla roffle could change everything. The Moog 1 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 ?
