That 5-pot sound always gets me wanting one even more. Been looking, on & off, for three years now. Never anything local to me. Always loads in bloody Stoke-on-Trent. Good advice though, mate 👍

@@Yodaracing1 Agreed. I either want a performance blue or electric orange. Would prefer the latter. But like ya say it’s the lacquer peel. Just keeping an eye on the prices at the mo. I find the classifieds are overpriced and take ages to sell. Auctions on eBay are seeing things move for less though.

One big thing you missed was water leaks...the seamwelds under the roof trims crack and let water into the boot this is something all mk2 focus can suffer otherwise spot on 👍🏼

Got a orange mk2 myself, good ones are hard to find and took alot of looking at abused examples to find mine. Other than having to spend alot on fuel to really enjoy the 2.5 5pot engine theyre a great car and if looked after and using decent parts warmed up and cooled down they can last reasonably well. Mines had the rs clutch and block mod aswell as afew upgrades and add ons and it literally gives you smiles by the gallon. Great drivers car.

Just bought a stock 2005 st . Had it mapped and now the clutch is just slighly slipping. How much is the rs clutch and would it be worth doing anything else like the flywheel.

@Yodaracing1

5 ай бұрын

Try Matt Lewis or wayside performance as for the flywheel unless it’s been changed recently I would change that aswell whilst it’s apart

Should a well looked after Mk2 St with 159k km on the clock be a GOOD buy, are there any things that give out at that mileage and if so how much would it cost to be fixed? Looking to buy one soon so I want to know as much as possible.
