make sure you save up lots or pennys for when the alternator fails and the oil separator diaphragm goes both are very common faults unfortuantely.. both will cost around £500 to replace by a dealer..

 

Would probably manage both these jobs myself, Oil separator don't look too bad a job, few guys of STOC have been using the volvo part rather than the ford bit cause its about 100 quid cheaper

Just had a little read through, thought i recognised name and see your signature now showed a st lol.

 

I do like these in red i just hate fords brilliant paint job in areas like under bonnet etc.

When i was working at ford and i was p.d.i prepping them they were awesome and will eat up miles with good mpg on motorway etc, very good buy!!!

 

 

But.... Pics of that mazda please!!! I have seen so very few, know little about them...but sorta know they are "tasty" correct if i am wrong but there a 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder duratec turbo yes? Power they produce etc? :D

It is very nice of you to post up MY car Scott, but you didn't mention that it is quicker that your car.

It's a nice car - but anyone with a brain knows the mazda is quicker standard so no need to point it out :thumb:

Only thing that succeeds in is making you look like a smug idiot!

 

Either way both nice cars I'd have in a heartbeat!
