Wow that looks great lowered!! are the red springs 30mm? or are the middle pictures 30mm? My Escort has 30mm all round but sits  down, i'm probably going to put it back to standard as it annoys me too much especially if theres weight in the boot. What Spring compressors are you using Mercdan68 ? looks like your pretty quick at swapping them over The new wheels look great too by the way! |

The clk has annoyed me this week an abs/esp light is constantly on
No difference in the driving of the car and having replaced a front wheel sensor which showed up on a diagnostic check
The lights are still illuminated, I really don’t like modern cars !!!
The car is absolutely fantastic condition but I’ve decided it’ll probably go soon , I don’t really need it so I’ll sort the abs light properly and put the car up for sale shortly

You seemed so happy to have got this one I thought it would be staying with you for a while.

Yep me too but house move is on a full steam ahead now I’m keeping the fiesta and have a company vehicle So the Mercedes will not get used much paying insurance and tax on it seems pointless so it’ll probably go soon |

The Fiesta looks very clean! The new wheel choice is great!
It's nicer to see a fellow C209 owner on here. I've debated doing a thread on mine, but I've left it for now and probably will do.
The CLKs are a surprisingly pleasant car. Mine is a lovely steer and it eats up the miles well.

Weather was good today so I took the fiesta out for a quick run Always puts a smile on my face driving around in something that nobody else is driving    |

So I’ve decided to sell both of my cars
And buy just one old Ford
Company vehicle I use all the time so I don’t need a daily car
So the Mercedes is definitely going
Got a couple of silly faults I want to sort this week on the coupe
Then I’ll get both cars on car and classic for sale

So I’ve decided to keep the clk, there’s just nothing quite like luxury wafting in nice motor House move seems imminent now barring a disaster The fiesta has proved to be a really strange one Probably one of the cleanest cars I’ve owned but I’ve had all the Mike brewer brigade on this one, great car that will find a home no doubt, if I move In the meantime my poor old parents will have to store yet another of my cars!!!! I did take the fiesta out last weekend and enjoyed a local meet   |

I know I shouldn’t be looking yet , fiesta looks like it sold after many timewasters , house move could be any day but……as i was out doing some staff training today and spotted an E30 bmw in a driveway, told our bemused employee to stop and went and had a look hmmmm
Good mot history less than 100 miles since the last mot and sitting unloved
I might have a little knock over the weekend
The wife doesn’t need to know …….

You just can't help yourself can you, lol.
Never hurts to have a look though.

So that’s the fiesta gone and off to a new owner in Essex
Without doubt a great car and some of the funniest experiences selling This one , Mike brewer and Mickey Flanagan didn’t hold a torch to any of these people
Great to meet a genuine ford enthusiast who was well pleased with the car
Just itching to buy another car, but I must resist until we move into our new house which can’t come soon enough
Soliciters don’t get me started on them!
