Mondeo ST TDCi

[Juego]

Well after 4 months of my Clio 5th gear went so i traded it in last month for this.

I was gonna have to sell the Clio this year anyways so in a way the gearbox saved me splashing more cash on it lol

Had it a month now and loving every minute of it, altho i do miss the Clio. Definately gonna buy another as a weekend toy at somepoint.

Panther Black Mondeo ST TDCi
Half Leather interior with heated front seats
One touch windows all round
Auto headlights and Wipers
Cruise control and Climate control
Reverse parking sensors

Pictures taken just before i got it in work, new ones will be up soon

The Mondeo are nicer to drive then the clio. I don't think there more fun tho

 

[DrR]

I love my works mondeo, cracking car.

 

[W17GLE]

i've got a vectra sri diesel you've got to love big barges they are ace. enjoy it mate

 

[Ian_182]

They are so much value for the money.

Great drive.

I want one next.

 

[Juego]

Not more fun no but the handling of the Mondeo is amazing for a barge

Yep so much room, so effortless and easy to drive too. Love it

Exactly. They're genuine B-road weapons.

If I needed a bigger car, I'd hunt one of these down without hesitation.

 

[W17GLE]

Get it re-mapped mate you will be amazed at the difference in performance and mine gets better mpg now. The clio is not much quicker than my vectra now

 

[Juego]

Yeh remap is in the pipeline along with tints and hid's and a turbo back exhaust system

 

[DamoWales]

Such nice car for the money!

 

[R20 CWH]

looks not too bad at all.
what sort of mpg you getting?

 

[Juego]

About town 36mpg, motorways it varies at 70 i see 50+

 

[Brett]

Realy nice motor that mate.

 

[DazG]

Very nice...looks the part!

 

[riz]

how much monies?

 

[GinandGasoline]

nice, my old boss had one... went through sets of front tyres for fun though!

 

[Ian_182]

How much did you pay for it,if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Juego]

Got it for £9k with 34k on the Clock which is a bit of a steal imo considering high mileage 55 plates are going for £7 - 9k

It's now done 37.5k can't stop driving it lol

 

[riz]

what clio did you have prev?

 

[rctempire]

182 Cupped i believe.

 

[philmots]

Nice cars these.

 

[Bluebeard]

Love them.

Sooooo much car for the money.

 

[Josh220]

Wahey another Mondeo owner.

Same colour as mine too. Brilliant cars, you will love it!

 

[Dan 172]

Great cars and Fords are always really easy to drive.

I'm going to go for a early MK3 TDCI later on this year, for my mileage cruncher.

Can't knock my current mk2 mondeo.

 

[Christopher]

That looks spot on

Nice choice

You can buy 04 plate Mondeo Zetec tdci's from the auction now for about £1500.

Proper cheap cars imo.

Good info there. Which auctions do you go too, Dan?

I'm thinking about £1,500-£2,000.

Don't all TDCI's have chains instead of cambelts also.

 

[Juego]

Yeh the Dura Torq engines are chain driven so less hassle also

Had a cup packed 182 before this. Loved it and miss it, but the Mondeo seems to be the car for me. Won't be getting rid anytime soon

 

[MarkCup]

ASW time, and not either an ST or a TDCi...but here's the Mondeo I had...loved it.

 

[ukaskew]

Quite tempted by these now I've seen the prices (not ST220s, just the TDCIs), want something reliable that will munch up the miles so I can travel to more racing circuits in the summer months, not fussed by engine size, economy is key. Likely to be anything worthwhile around £2-3k without intergalactic mileage?

 

[edgeydt50]

with a re-map etc what sort of gains are expected?

 

[JR]

Love them.

Sooooo much car for the money.

Agreed, basically a bullet proof engine too.

 

[JR]

Blue fin gets you around 190 bhp iirc.

 

[dunganick]

Agreed, basically a bullet proof engine too.

Heard of injector problems with high mileage ones.

Also been looking at one myself, they are amazing value atm.

 

[.GAZ.]

Im sorry but would i rather have this for £9k or a mk4 R32, mk4 Anniversary derv or a meggy 225 f1!!! Hmmmm

Wouldnt be the ford anyhooo!!!

 

[Arun1]

Hi Juego, good to see you here. The ST-tdci is a good motor. The 2.2 is very strong.

 

[DMS]

I really like Mondeo's. Used to drive my old bosses Titanium X with the 2.2 TDCi engine in it. I've also driven a few low-end 3 series Beemers and I can't see why anybody would pick one over a Mondeo.
When you get to the 328, 330, M3's etc then yeah I can understand it.

 

[McBunny]

shame it doesnt have recaro's

 

[McBunny]

i like the new mondeo with the tv screen thing in the instrument binnacle

 

[Leeshez]

Looks like a nice car
