Good car Kev, change the oil first thing ,dont take it for granted that it has been done,it should be good for 150.000 if you look after it.

I've got a 2005 fiesta 1.4 tdci van for work and i must say its 1 of the best cars i've owned i put £40 in it and get 510 miles then the light comes on so prolly another 50 miles from the light. It will happily sit at 80mph all day long at 3000rpm it truly is brilliant. I also have a renault clio sport 2ltr and ive owned golf gti's clio williams etc etc but gimme the little fiesta tdci anyday  8)

i don't know much about cars....so when i buy one i try to stick to main dealers and cars with full s/history. i 've a focus c-max and the thing about them is 1/ they've sold loads so they can't be to bad 2/ everyone can fix them (well most of the time) and 3/ pattern parts are sometimes available. i was also grateful to be able to get a car with a spare tyre...they're getting rarer. best of luck with it

[Guest kev d]

yes ford parts are cheaper and easier to get , i also looked at and i loved the look of it was

vauxhall astra 1.7 ctdi design diesel , went on the internet and looked on what car and they said

stay away from the diesel .

lovely looking car though .
