Character
1.8 TDDi / DI (Endura-DI)
"Pre-common-rail Ford 1.8 diesel (Focus Mk1 TDDi 75/90 hp, Fiesta Mk4 1.8 DI). Direct injection with an electronically controlled rotary pump. Owners rate it far better than the later 1.8 TDCi; the injection pump and its control unit are the one known weak point, typically after 120,000 km."
Zetec-SE
"Fiesta/Focus base engine. Simple, reliable. Thermostat housing. Coil pack. Head gasket failure rare but possible. Good parts availability. Cheap to run and maintain."
