Hiya Guys and Girls,

buy the end of this weekend ill be new owner of a Vreg for mondeo st24 :) . Iv had plenty of fords in the past

1 Black rs turbo

1 mk 5 escort rs 2000 rep

1 mk 4 escort Rs Cab

1 Mondeo 1.9 td

past couple of year's iv had a Subaru impreza sti but at the weekend the bottem end went, so iv grabed this chance to owen my self a car iv always wanted.

i am looking for a bit of advise if possible. iv got my eye on a mondeo st24 with 14000 on the clock all the car is sound and im intrested in buying her but in the discription it does say there is a slight water like comeing from a hose of the radiator. Is this part cheep and easy to get hold off?

is there anything i should be looking out for that goes wrong with the st24's?

Thanks Guys for your help and time..

Chris

Look out 4 the tick of death, this where it sounds like the manifold is blowing, but its head gasket gone.

Water pump is metal and not plastic,

2nderies open up as sometimes need cleaning up,

Rear wheel arches tend 2 rust out, but thats common on fords,

Am sure other people will add 2 this list
