Cookie's Mondeo ST220 Estate

[Bluebeard]

Really x2

Mondeo's got a bigger boot and got more rear legroom. For an estate car I'd say that was pretty important?

PMSL at Tom's edit of that post.

I've been having fun opening all the windows (and closing them) just by holding down the button on the remote. So much fun.

Also love that all the windows are one touch open and close.

That looks great.
I have a 3 series estate, rear legroom is fine. You'd need to be a basketball player to be uncomfortable. The boot is indeed terrible though, stupid shape.
I'd much rather have the Mondeo and 10k in my pocket :dapprove:

Took a picture of the front. I need to actually take pictures with something other than a BB.

Admire the wife's f**king terrible parking.

 

[Rob]

It looks about 900 times better from the front.

 

[Hixle]

I love it. Quite want one myself.

 

[Naith]

Its fcuking massive that proper barge. Whats out there for subtle mods? a free flowing zorstzorz would sound brilliant I bet!

Is that a bevel on your avatar? Die.

Flol! I was feeling in a 1998 mood.

My Focus does this, will never get boring.

Staying standard on that front. Had enough of modifying cars. It makes a nice noise as standard tbf.

Re the size, its 4.8m long. I've only ever owned Clio's before, and it's more than a metre longer.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Almost exactly the same length as the Lolvo

 

[Cookie]

Size of a small village, still has a better turning circle than the Clio.

Other than "because it's fun" or it being a great way to run the battery down in the key fob, I've never really been in a situation where I've found the global window open/close function any use.

Has it got a full Ford history?

Either way I'd bang a new set of plugs in it. It's very common for garages to change the front bank but leave the rear bank as it's a bit of a t**t as you have to remove the intake manifold.

When i put a new set in mine it was like night and day.

Yep, FFSH

Rear plugs were changed along with a load of other stuff as part of a fault finding exercise that turned out to be fcuked lambdas (by the previous owner) in April.

Bai Clio \o

Which in turn rots the catalytic convertor for the back bank, which costs mega money because it's an engine out job.

Ah good job then.. You'll not get bored of that noise

 

[plymcl172]

Love this is very different and I like it

Good find

 

[Gaz.]

Be aware that the wheels corrode for s***s and giggles, particularly in the winter.

 

[Munson]

Nice bus.

 

[Cookie]

Come September it'll be on winter wheels, so no real danger of that Gaz

Reminds me, what's the smallest wheels it can take over the standard brakes?

Hai!

Interior

Edit: never mind.

You can't tease me like that

 

[Bluebeard]

Bai Clio \o

Fcuking sneaky Russian! When did you take that?!

I can also confirm that this mondeo is proper clean. Looks like a completely different car in real life!

 

[philmots]

It'll take any standard Mondeo steelies.

ST220 has same brakes as the rest of the Mondeo range. That's why they're crap lol

 

[Cookie]

Took it when you were fiddling with the straps on the other side

 

[SC03OTT]

I'd posted that you can fit 16"s on a Focus ST, then figured that was totally useless information to you.

 

[Cookie]

PMSL. Thanks anyway

 

[Cookie]

Just bought one of these, does it count as a mod?

 

[Dunn]

Looks cool, I've driven a couple and I like them.

Although 5 speed sounds a bit rubbish for a cruiser

 

[.GAZ.]

You got your own private reg, Terry?

 

[Cookie]

Nope. It's going back on the 03 plates once the previous owner tells me the DVLA have sorted things out. Though the original plate reads 'Boys' so I may get a private plate anyway. Maybe a V6 plate, for giggles.

Nice to know your thoughts on Cookie, what about the car?






<3 Terry.

Yes mate

I was going to post an update on the car actually, I need to get a new rubber seal for one of the rear doors as it's been leaking water in

 

[.Simon]

Lovely car, welcome to the Mondeo ST "club"
