Ford focus mk1

That’s a good purchase, they’re not as bad as people say. Basically a berlingo underneath.

When you eventually kill it can you save me some bits of interior.


Less annoying tag line.

Less of the when thank you very much! Biggest issue with the van was the heavy clutch which this hasn't got. Being hydraulic it's very light on the c4. I don't think it's on the berlingo chassis is it's a fair bit longer than even the newer shape berlingo.

My Ma had one of these and it was great - comfortable and spacious, decent economy. I liked the manual "climate" as they (being old) always have everything at 200c.

Same with me and the wife. If I'm too cold you can bet she is too warm and vise versa.

It’s inevitable.

The later berlingos then are. I didn't think early ones would be though as they are a fair bit smaller than the 08 on berlingo. My friend had a 11 plate Peugeot partner and it was as nearly as big as his early Peugeot expert.

Nothing special to report here but a little update non the less.
Purchased a key blank with transponder chip off of eBay as my remote fob wasn't working. Used lexia to program it and swapped the blade from my old key into the new fob.
When the engine is cold too it gives a fault code but only had put the eml on once. Richness coherence code. Assumed it was the lambda so fitted a new one. Found out it doesn't like aftermarket sensors as it had an hissy fit and put on different fault codes and the electric handbrake warning light with stability control and traction control lights. Swapped the sensor back over and returned it. Very occasionally only when cold engine it has a flat spot about 2000rpm and its cleared by the end of the street,it's not done it in a few days though which is odd. Only put eml on once and that was for mixture being too rich when cold. Not sure what the issue is so I've left it as I'm not paying a lot of money from citroen for it unless it gets worse.
Turned off auto apply and release on the handbrake too as it put a code up for suspected blockage?! Been fine since and just press button to apply and release.
Had it on mates 2 poster lift yesterday. 1 of 3 handbrake cables is new so could be a slight bind in one of the others. Also while on ramp we have found out that all 4 springs look recent along with front discs and pads,rear pads,front uprights,rear silencer and exhaust hangers. Also surprisingly there is no oil leaks anywhere on the engine,gearbox or steering. Relative recent dayco auxiliary belt and cambelt too along with waterpump and tensioner.
Averaging low to mid 30s mpg which isn't bad for a big petrol engine mpv as the van was barely breaking 40. Usually around 38 to 39 and 46 on a run. Will report back on mpg after our holiday to Ingoldmells at the weekend.

Made it to Ingoldmells. Took the scenic route through Sleaford. Encountered a bit of traffic through the villages but nothing major. Averaged 39.7 mpg which I don't think is too bad.

We used to take the back road by turning left somewhere after Wragby - it's mostly dead straight with very little traffic, possibly known as the blue ridge road, comes out near Ulceby Cross.
We were heading towards Alford though so not sure if it would cut anything off for you

Come up and say hello. We passed that on way in.
