I've been looking at new dailys to replace my Picasso which got written off during the snow we had. Anyway, I have been looking at a Ford Focus which is close to me and is a low mileage diesel but has developed a noisy top end. This has reduced the price to an attractive level, but I need to know whats wrong with it before jumping in and potentially getting burnt and end up spending too much. Anyway, heres a short clip of how the engine sounds s1268.beta.photobucket.com/user/Ryan_Masterton/media/IMG_0040_zps50d9abbb.mp4.htmlCheers Dave |

Jesus, run a mile!
not a clue what that noise is without investigating further, but a TDCI shouldnt be anywhere near that clattery or rattly, and that's both.

That speaks of abuse and lack of care - and I don't like the look of that header tank either.
I would look elsewhere.
