2003 Ford Ka reviews

Ford Ka 2003

Well the best news first, I bought my ka new in 2003 and its now 7 years old.(45,000miles) A very good buy as never failed the MOT, and still on the original battery and exhaust (stainless)..It has only had two repairs and that was the coil replaced, after driving six hours in the rain, dampness got in and cost me £125, and brakes fixed £120. It’s what I call a cheap and chearful car, for example the brake pads cost £19.50 and I have just replaced them, quite an easy job also you can adjust the handbrake by lifting the cover off inside the car and adjust with a spanner, quite easy do do. It does have some rust which I filled in around the fuelcap and rear lock (common on ka’s and the yellow warning light (engine)stays on (on the dash) but is easily covered up with some black tape (common fault) speakers needed replaced (again common fault) and headlights can steam up but take cap off inside vehicle and dampness dissapears; no major mechanical problems with my ford Ka, a good car but lacks quality but then again easy to fix if you are willing to have a go at fixing it!
