Was a long time ago, should of got it properly inspected, young and stupid and too eager to get into a turbo car after Ps :P 

I reckon you were too eager to get into a Ford personally

You kunce seem to know some shit.. I've asked before but I'll try narrow it down a bit this time..

2010 onwards, small/medium sized, preferably 4 door, not ugly, some luxuries would be good (sunroof / leather / heated seats to name a few) decent sound system (ipod integration essential) auto or manual is fine

Was thinking $10k max but happy to drop another $5k if it gets me something that meets the above criteria

Go.
Gold star if your suggestion leads to purchase

At the moment Honda accord euro seems to tick most of those boxes, my mate has an 04 for a daily and seems to rate it for that purpose, but apart from that I'm pretty much just searching all makes between $7,500-$15000 which doesn't narrow it down much...

my first thought with the above description would be a subaru liberty Premium

12K leather sunroof Bluetooth 12 month warranty

E90 BMW's have dropped big time recently.

320 leather sunroof, usb

But my actual suggestion, and from a little left field.

Skoda Octavia RS

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/SKODA-Octavia-2011/SSE-AD-5185939/?Cr= 1

think Golf Gti in a 4 door with all the luxuries.

we will be test driving these when Katie gets a new car later this year.

 

For reliability and features I'd be staying Japanese

These seem like awesome value for recent cars. 4 door, leather, iPod garbage, not completely gutless, 7.5L/100, look okay for a modern sedan

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
