I think it's more a case of the end of a run of anything is better than the beginning of a run. A late MK1 would be better than an early MK2. I would hope that an early Mk2 would be better than an early MK1, they must've learned something during that first run.Does this not underline my point about the MK1 of anything being the best?Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0 -
I had an Almera mark II as a company car. It got to 100k and the gearbox went catastrophically. It started whining one day, I called the fleet manager who said keep driving it it will be fine, two days later it went bang. Company scrapped it as they couldn't source a gearbox and fit it for less than the car was worth.
The Focus they replaced it with was a much better car.
You probably changed the oil in it. That was where you were going wrong. An Almera's oil needs to bed in over 3 - 5 years.0
