Hey.
My 100k+ mile Escort packed in two weeks ago, MOT was running out and I couldn't be arsed fixing it, so I took the plunge and bought a nearly new car.
A July 05 Focus LX 1.8 TDCi, 2500 miles on the clock - I'm presuming it was some kind of demostrator as it looks to have once had a "Diesel" sticker over the fuel flap, it's done nearly no miles, and the car/radio manuals in the glove box were unopened.
Anyways, reading through the service stamp book, it reckons a service every one year or 12,500 miles. Is that not a bit optimistic? I used to change the oil and filter in my Escort every 6k and before that in my beloved L reg Fiesta 1.8D - (189,000 mile on that bugger when I sold it) every 5k.
What does everyone reckon?
Any other things I should watch for on this car?
Thanks. paul
