88-XR3i Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Well, im testing the waters here mainly as I know alot of users have other cars other than escorts I am looking for a bigger car possibly, although im not sure what, aslong as its A-Hatchback or estate, and B-its not french I have:1.6 LX mk6 5 door, tax till end of march, mot till July (I think, may be June)excellent condition, solid rear arches, just a bit of surface rust, no rust anywhere elseIn metallic blueStarts 1st time every timeNew head and cam belt along with uprated cam tensioner as plastic one broke Only known faults: Slight bearing noise from rear, although may sort that soonICV needs a clean, only plays up when idling for a period of timeDrivers side door locks on key, but not always unlocking also, 1.8 Si Mk5 b 5 doorDark green (some say racing green, but being colour blind I cant say for sure)Tax till end of the month, MOT just about to run out next weekgreat condition, clifford alarm, and all the usual extras, and alloys that I havent seen on another escort, genuine ford 5 spokes, also the spare is an alloy that barely looks used! Bad points: Slight exhaust blowCouple of dings in panels, but no rustBoot doesnt unlock with key Both good cars, was going to break 1 to make the other more fancy but decided the Si that I got was too good to strip Interested in swapping BOTH cars for 1 decent larger car thats NOT french, and as stated it must be a hatchback or estate as I cant put the dog in the boot of a saloon....well, without the RSPCA having something to say about it anyway haha!

robbie Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 would a vauxhall vectra 2.0 auto with 9 months mot and 1 months tax be any good to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88-XR3i Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 After putting the green 1 in for the MOT, although it didnt fail on much, I decided to break it for the bits I wanted, and sell the rest (See xr2steve posts) So, I no longer have the green car anymore, just a slightly better looking blue mk6...Although all its had is the wheels but still, makes it better looking already!
