I have a 2004 ford fiesta as a tuition car, it's done 100k in the 4 years I have owned it, a good majority of that is tuition miles also:eek: apart from a clutch and timing belt all it's needed is servicing and brakes, and a new thermostat housing seal.:agree: It's getting a bit long in the tooth now tho, and is being replaced in December with something on a 12 plate;)

The mrs has a 2006 fiat Grande punto and it's the biggest bag of **** car I have ever owned, it's done 43k and is falling apart, drivers door handle won't open from the inside, the power steering unit went, it's drop links more or less fell off last month, the oil breather hoses have been replaced twice with genuine fiat items that don't even last 3k.........utter utter shi, it's constantly throwing up fault codes, the passenger air bag won't turn back on after turning it off via the onboard computer. **** **** ****ty ****! Makes the five look well built:smokin:

06-11-2012, 14:00
You'd be better off with a glaze or all in one product and a good wax at this time of the year and then a full polish in the spring.
That's what almost alol of the winter preps I've been doing involved. Correcting a daily before winter always ends up with it needing to be done again after a few months. With the added salt and crud around, the wash marring is more of a problem :(
