First bought this car and was fine for the first few months, then I started to hear a noise when revving the car, the valves in the engine had bent. This meant a new engine for me, at first i thought maybe it was mistreated before so i had to pay £1500 for a new engine and fitting. Couple of months after the power steering went as the hose had split, then the coilpack went shortly after, then the clutch went. After 2 months of spending an unbelievable amount of money on this car then developed a battery issue where I had to switch out car batterys every 5 days or so if i do not drive it, this was then fixed by ford and shortly after the engine coolant hose broke and caused my car to initially sit there smoking before i knew what the issue was! Ive had nothing but issues with this pile of junk, now got rid of it happily and will never ever ever go near ford again.
