    I saw someone mention they brought and sold a NB within 4 months recently due to price increases. 2+2=5 šŸ™‚

    Rear window decals were from DMB graphics.
    My spare RS wheels and winter tyres were bought by the owner of DMB also

    Hi Alan

     

    I’m unable to private message you for some reason?

    the chips were touched up by myself prior to part exchanging. I still have the touch up for it.
    assume thereā€™s still a chip in the windscreen?
    you’ll notice the headlights are far superior to most other cars, I have spare replacement bulbs for those also.
    the clutch failed on me 3 times and due to that ended up on a low loader and has had a new master cylinder.
    thereā€™s a Mountune short shift linkage fitted.
    It has the Mountune FPM375 kit fitted, the engine cover should be removed but it will be fitted now.
    I ran dreamscience map for 3 years as the FPM375 was a bit dull but voided warranty.
    there was a defect in the radiator which caused it to gain a major leak, ultimately causing a partial engine seizure. By this point Iā€™d had enough so drove the car about 4 miles with no water in hoping it would fail properly and require a new engine, again on a low loader, unfortunately they ā€œrepairedā€ it. I argued for months that it should have a new engine due to the damage caused, it sounded dreadful and just stopped and seized on its own but Ford said itā€™s fine.
    the Mountune mudflaps Ā were fitted by myself as were the Union Jack decals that came from DMB.

    I had a separate set of RS wheels that I had winter tyres fitted on which I swapped each year, I sold these separately.

    I owned the car for just shy of 4 years, it was ok but I donā€™t regret getting rid.

    anything I can help with or any questions you have give me a shout.

    I hope it serves you well.

     

    I assume no longer on standard plates?

    you would think so and would expect a reply but nothing.
    typical person bought a RS knowing naff all about them.
    i couldā€™ve passed on the spare bulbs, touch up kits x2, fog light protectors, original gear linkage and a few other bits but obviously zero interest

    Sorry to resurrect this threadā€¦.

     

    does anyone know how to get in touch with the owner Alan? Iā€™m getting post from Ford UK regarding his car / my old car that may be of interest to him.
