sounds pretty good for a ford tbh lol I've got a 1.25 zetec fiesta for a winter wrecker, and it's just soul destroying lol

[mowgli]

the bolts in my left knee still hurt on damp days because of a ford....in 1994 it nearly killed me, and i've never been confident driving one since

[shed-on-wheels]

its bloody horific im just going to puposly leave the keys in the car and door open for a chav to steal it lol

[mowgli]

if you can drive it to a scrappers, you'll get decent money...but if its a loaner, simply drive it back slowly & decline using it.

Yeah we've got some TL90 thing which is just a rebadged fiat, and is terrible. Had a TG285 for ploughing and all it did was eat front diffs and Engine oil seals :eek: case dont seem too bad, drove a puma 115 from about july 24th till about 3weeks ago constantly and it never put a foot out of place :thumb: makes me laugh how we have two ford 5000's still and there still going strong lol

[mowgli]

the 5000 was an iconic piece of kit.. the govt, even nicked its pic for the roadsigns for farm traffic. so many got exported in the 80's.. we use john deeres, they are expensive, but rarely go wrong.
