as above been offered one of thease in part ex with the scoob...any good? from what i gather not as good as the tdci unit any peeps any views? thx in advance

 

any1?

 

No where near as good as the TDCI lump, but how desperate are you to shift the scoob?

Any good? It's a diesel focus!
How long is a piece of string? Are you looking to keep it or flog it?

I have had 2 mark 1 focus's and both have been fantastic (both petrol though).

 

just as i thought mate. prob keep till end of the year then get something a bit better. just dont want to be lumbered with a motor thats hard to shift on.....seems theres less faults on the tddi engines but not as smooth as the tdci hmmmmm. any more input peeps?

 

The tddi is based on the old (and rather nasty) 1.8ltr ford td, you want to avoid it really.

thx mate are they really that bad?

 

its a 53 plate if that makes any difference......cluthing at straws

 

I'm amazed you could still get a tdi in 2003/2004.
Thought they were all tdci from 2002.
Drive it, you may like it! (I think they handle better than a classic scoob anyway!)

 

Yes

Tony

 

The mondeo's changed around then, the focus's didnt until 2003/2004, but its a horrid engine, good work horse but horrid horrid engine (hence people bought peugeots )

Tony

 

thx chaps

 

just a quick update...as said got offered part ex with 53 plate focus tddi 125k plus 800 my way anymore input guys?

 

Can you not check prices on autotrader?
How much did you have the scoob up for?

Doesn't sound unrealistic.

 

Trust me, you really dont want to buy it, now if it were the tdci then yes but not the tddi

Tony

 

there not that bad people and always seem to sell well to be honest as very economical worth about £1500-£2000 depending on miles/history condition etc

 

hi Bolasti,

i have a 2001 focus tddi as my runaround iv had it over a yr 200k+ miles, it has only cost me £20 in repairs (£10 trackrod end & £10 gearbox mountin) it averages 40+ mpg i use this back an fro work during the wk and use my scooby at tha wkends....asall cars look after em service etc and they will look after u.....


shaun...

 

thanks peeps. any more views???
