S reg Cosworth Ultima NOW SOLD
« on: Mar 31st, 2009, 9:17pm » |

138k, MOT until Feb 2010, tax until Sep 2009.
Good bits:-
Engine smooth and quiet - had it tuned at Motorsport Developments when I got it and they said it was spot on and they hardly had to touch it 
Auto box pulls as it should (fluid and filter changed Sep 2007)
99% of the toys work (cc, memory seats, heated seats, heated windscreen etc).
Interior is excellent
JBL speakers fitted
Oil and filter changed every six months since I've had it.
New plugs, leads and air filter Sep 2008
LH cat fitted two months ago.
Very good alloys with Pirelli P6000/Michelin Primacy tyres with 3mm of tread.
New front wishbones fitted @ Feb 2008 MOT.
New rear calipers fitted @ Feb 2009 MOT (sticking handbrake - fluid change and bleed done at same time).
Bad bits:-
Arches bubbling as per usual (I have hammerited the inner lips to slow it down though)
Somebody swiped the rear nearside corner - I've buffed the paint off that they kindly left and replaced the light but the wing has been pushed in 3-4mm where it meets the bumper (photo tomorrow).
Sills have a couple of bubbles (again hammerited)
Slight scuff to the front offside wing/bumper, bottom of wing has a slight crease where a friend started to jack it up in the wrong place before I could stop him -could be pulled out and no rust though.
The RH side cat is now rattling
I had to change a siezed blower motor - the air box had to be cut as per http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/fanrepair.htm
Bonnet has two tiny creases either side where the gas struts connect to it - guess who forgot to put it down properly after checking the screen wash  As a result, the middle of the bonet at the edges sits slightly lower than the wings (photo tomorrow).
Fuel tank leaks if more that 7/8ths full - probably needs a new fuel sender gasket (which I have but haven't got round to fitting) - I have a new fuel tank which I will include in the sale.
Rev counter always reads a third high - i.e. if the engine is doing 2000rpm the counter will show 3000rpm. I changed the dials but it doesn't change - never have got to the bottom of it!
Only one key and one remote fob - it isn't the red master key.
Erm, that's it actually. In fact, why am I selling it again as it doesn't seem that bad now I've written it all down - I'm overly critical sometimes. You know when you just get fed up with something and no longer interested in it - I guess that's the case here.
I know it's not worth much but it really is too good to break and it's never broken down on me - I've done 11000 miles in it with no issues at all.
Remember, it's got £80 worth of tax on it so shall we start at £500 and see where we go from there? I really have listed everything I know to be wrong with the car so you can be sure it's an honest sale.
Car will be available 15th April but can be viewed/driven any time before then.
I'll let some photos do some more talking.

Certainly - I'll try and get out with the camera tomorrow or Thursday.
If it's of help - I'll be making a trip down to Milton Keynes in the not to distant future.

I forgot two quite important things:-
Fuel tank leaks if more that 7/8ths full - probably needs a new fuel sender gasket (which I have but haven't got round to fitting) - I have a new fuel tank which I can include in case it is the actual tank.
Rev counter always reads a third high - i.e. if the engine is doing 2000rpm the counter will show 3000rpm. I changed the dials but it doesn't change - never have got to the bottom of it!

believe me it's the tank. it's very common if you don't preserve your car from rust once a year the tank gets eaten by rust...

Also quite common, it's edis fault but can also be the loom... :/

Hmm, sounds like it's heading for scrap then. Might just pop it on ebay and let it go for whatever anyone is willing to pay for it

don't be too pessimistic... it's all quite easily fixable.
for example you can get a new tank for as much as 100£ and fix it yourself, not more than 2h work...
it still is a perfectly good car with some minor faults...

You can have it for scrap when I've finished with it - I'm keeping it until it dies!
