escrt1.4i Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 thats thing havent got hundred pound and hard finding a low mileage engine this ones only done 66k now got it on 59k would go for a 2.0 just for now till i save for a 1.8 zetec turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottg17 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 yes but a good running 100k miler is still better than a fucked lump with 70k on it. zetecs are hardy and so long they are looked after they will go on forever, my old focus was a 2 litre blacktop and had about 140k on it, it run like it did when it rolled out the showroom in 2001 never used a drop of oil or water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
