Now has 6 months road tax.

Price is negotiable - make me an offer!

Well, Focus ownership has come to an end. The car was collected by its new owner this morning.

Its been fun. I now need to go and find another car....

As in the previous post, the Focus was sold at the beginning of December.
The last pics I got of it:

Masked up whilst I sorted out a few chips and slight bit of rust on the tailgate and arch:


Pics I took when I cleaned it just before it was collected:





I spent a few weeks without a car, either borrowing my brothers Fiesta or renting vans for a couple of days here and there. Then, just before Christmas I found a 307 estate. Went and had a look and it seemed fair for the money, so a deal was done and I brought it home the night before xmas eve.

Its a 2004 307 SW Hdi SE. 2.0 turbo diesel, Bought with 92k on the clock, but does have service history with it. Quite a few electric toys on it, pretty nippy, much better on fuel so far that the Focus ever was and generally a pretty comfy drive. Also has a huge boot being an estate, which is ideal for me.






Individual tilt/slide rear seats


Also has glass panoramic roof



Standard power is 110 bhp, although this one has a reciept for a remap taking power up to around 130bhp. Not sure if this is fitted or not as I've not driven a standard one to compare.

Few niggles to sort on it in due course. It needs new disks and pads fairly soon and a good service, needs cleaning inside and out (when the weather's better though), CD changer doesn't work (Probably buy a new headunit with MP3 connectivity) and could do with new exhaust. The spare wheel and jack are missing so need to get hold of these, and the paint on one of the alloys is bubbling, so will refurb the wheels at some point.

First jobs have been to change the multiple bulbs which were broken. Brake lights now work (bonus :y:), new sidelights and number plate lights fitted (led bulbs), headlight bulbs on their way, but working currently.
