i only ever had one issue, the hg went, other than that it was mods, the fella who bought it somehow managed to break the oil pick up pipe within two days of having it, he was lucky as he thought it was the bottom end that had gone

£89 for a back box, you having a laugh, local motor factors are £40, I know I got one last year! Thinking about a cobra system though as my centre section is going. already got the decat on so should be good.
I have just changed another wheel bearing today, changed the driveshaft as well, new driveshaft £34 delivered inc 3 year warranty thought rude not to.
That's the 4th wheel bearing I have changed on the nearside, don't know if it is due to the mileage I do, garage that pressed the bearing in for me on my spare hub said they do tons of mondeo bearings. Think the fact mine is lowered as well probably doesn't help

im putting our caravan on Anglesey next year, been by that track, looks good, very well maintained, how much is the rs then?
11 October 2013, 03:23 PM
I love anglesey its a great track its just a long way down there (nice tunnels though)
well looking around 13K but ive a problem as im looking to finish my morgage off next may so either wack that off and bank £800 a month or buy a new car and carry on paying for another year
mines only worth about £3/£3.5k im just tempted to keep it choices choices
the mondeo should more or less be a straight swap for a fiesta titanium there around £6.5k
