Ive just bought this fiesta van as a bit of a run about over winter, it looked quite cheap, and i had a really cheap insurance quote on it too so i decided to buy it because its really bothering me seeing all the salt on my mini all the time!

a mate of mine had one of these (ex police car) firstly the drivers door lock barrel went so he had to get in through the passenger door and lean across. Then the passenger one went so he had to climb in through the boot, was always entertaining until the boot one went and he finally decided to change the locks. |

cool!! do these stickers that are on it look like moterway maintenance ones or something? if they are it will probably have been serviced well through its life but abused when driven i would have thought? Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

also, are they just mk3's with a bit of a facelift? if it is, its going to sway arround like a boat isnt it! i was hoping that with it being a van it might have uprated brakes and things Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

Apart from this and the engine blowing up (thank you police) it was an ok little car. Good runabout for 530quid
