that is a bloody steal at that price!! I did plenty research and got nowhere near this size of bargain. I travelled to Manchester to get mine from a ford dealer who was offering a decent part ex on my old car. Local (london, home counties) was more expense and less part ex. Pays to travel. So, did your bargain need any work doing? If not, congrats on a great deal! "hungry Hippo"... so you got an auto then! Manual mpg is kinder.

no problems other than what seem standard(wont list as dont have the time, lol), think someone panic sold it because of really bad vibes through transmission. Turned out to be worn vcu bush/bearings, again a pretty standard fault. With regards to mpg , no both motors i have are manual but only return just over 30mpg, but as both seem to return the same i have never thought it an issue. what should i expect( mainly country roads)??
