Reet, time to get rid of the ol' Onion!
1989 Ford Orion 1.4 LX
12 Months MOT
6 Months Tax
Service two weeks ago (with MOT)
60,000 miles
2 owners since new
Good overall condition, interior is mint, body work is generly great all round other than rust on each of the rear arches, they arnt so bad as they need replacing just yet.
Sills sorted last summer. 4 good tyres.
Its starting to smoke a bit on start up dare i say it like most late 80's Fords. Presume this is the vale stem oil seal thingys going, however its just passed its MOT so not past it yet.
Carb jets need cleaning i believe. Last June it started to stutter on hard exeleration, alright when pushed lightly then goes fine when the revs are up. Got the carb jets cleaned and it was fine, however has started to stutter again on hard acceleration within the last few weeks however like a say, fine when you get the revs up.
Been totaly reliable, done me proud as a daily driver, as i write I'm in Sunderland at my bros having come up from Cheshire in it.
PM me for pictures, i'll email you them. Will put up some picture on Monday as like i say I'm at my brothers useng his laptop at the moment!
£300 however I'm fairly easy, could go to £250 for you guys i guess.
Cheers, email for pics.
