going to look at a fez si 1.6 2moro, its got full mot but just wanted to know things i should be looking for, i.e problem areas.

will be taken my copy of pf with me as dat gave me some help.

ta, matt

Since I got mine a year ago there have been so many little things I've found wrong with it that I might have picked up had I known what to look for when I bought it.

The buying guides on and are a good start, as is a good read through the maintenance section of the Mk3 Fiesta Haynes Manual. Check the service history (avoid it if there are big gaps) and make sure it had its cambelt around 60k. They should have reciepts for it as well as receipts for any major work or mods.

The problem areas are usually rust (as with all Mk3 Fiestas), suspension bushes on the way out, and engines that have been thrashed.

The usual extras should all work (electric windows, central locking etc), if not then knock down the price.

Good luck!

went to see fez today, and the verdict was a yes. he wanted £800 but knocked him down to £650. he's putting it threw MOT for me and what ever it fails he is going to fix, so should be mechanically sound.

few bits of surface rust on rear arches and tailgate, so will need sorting but nowt really to worry bout.

will get some pics up when in my possession.

like to say cheers to JJ aka jdfiesta, for helping me on the end of the phone whilst there.

let you know if anything drastic happens.

does anyone know a rough price for the repair of the rust as described above. TA.

Matt

matt

it depends on the baddness ov the rust but id say about £80 at the most

i dont think its that bad or at, least i hope its not , but £80 dont seem that bad. but one of my friends is a sprayer for bmw, and he sprayed his own sierra saph cossie replica, so he might do it for a couple quid, but its still handy to know a price just incase.

Matt

if he can spray it then he should b able to de rust it for ya on the cheep its handy knowing ppl like that
if it was my car i could get it done with just the cost ov the meterials so im sure ya mate can as well
