Found the same tread in the archives and thought it could be brought up again. So how many miles does your Zetec have, how about problems etc. Mine has 94000 and no major problems.

Mine has over 201,000 on it. Other than some minor repairs (alternator, etc.) it's still running strong.

104K Baught it with 100689 (maybe?) at about 102K I had to have the timing belt replaced (740$)
Plugs, wires, coil before that at about 101K. Plugs again after the timing belt, because I was stupid to put Champions in there.
Thermostat replacement yesterday.
Brake Pads and cylender replacement on right back.
NOW having misfires, OR my clutch is slipping. I think I need to have my fuel injector cleaned really badly, but I have no idea since I have no CEL on (which is what makes me expect the clutch). I say the Fuel injector because when I have the A/C running (which requires more fuel to run) the bucking gets stronger and happens more often.
I will also soon need one, if not two of my front wheel bearing fixed (oh joy).
I swear to god, Im never going to get to do anything fun to this car.

Hey, on your Stique, have you had to replace the clutch yet?

What is your driving style? I think mine and many others' style on here is "drive it like you stole it".

107 - all miles put myself. Nothing major - knock on wood - except for spark plugs (but of course) and wires and coil pack, and exhaust, wait mods are excluded here.
