Did it have a Powered By Fairydust sticker like so many KAs seemed to have?The Reverend Bluejeans wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 9:52 pmMine had it first MOT fail on corrosion at 10 years old.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 9:19 pmThe 1999 KA was never a new car. Any car you have to weld for its first MOT and need to remember the rule of nine to set the tappets was born an old car.The Reverend Bluejeans wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 9:16 pm Maybe.
I like the original C4 Cactarse as well.
I'd buy one for exactly the same reason I bought a new Ka in 1999, namely I'd had a bellyful of shit old cars causing me dramas. I'm 23 years older now as well.
I didn't do the tappets once in the 60,000 miles it did in three years.
I don't know much about the octane rating of fairydust but judging by the serious rust most KAs have around the fuel filler neck it must be pretty corrosive stuff.
