Just a quick on to say hello to everyone in Ford Land! :)

I Managed to 'bag' the sale of the century (even though there are niggles to sort) 2 days ago and got myself a C-Max 2.0 Zetec TDCI. (and when I say sale of the century, I really do mean that!)

My first impression of this thing? WOW :D . Was totally amazed firstly at the height. I have a lower back disc degeneration disease and have always had 'fun' (not the right word you understand!) getting in and out of my car. The first time I sat in this I was expecting to 'drop' into the seat but I didn't which is still catching me out!

The other nice and surprising thing is the power.

My last car was the Laguna diesel and I thought was powerful! This thing is great for power up take.

As was said, it does have some issues and I need them sorting ASAP but that is for another area. This was simply to say hello and look forward to having 'chats' with everyone.

Bye for now..(no wave smiley??) sad now

Hi David welcome to the club

Hi welcome :)

Welcome to the family :) how much did you get her for?

Well, suffice to say, if you take that I am getting a timing belt fitted on Monday (It has never been done) at a total of £192. I am fitting new glows plugs at a cost of £53, then add a years road tax and all that would be more !!

Wow! well in that case, you truely did bag the sale of the century.

I remember my father telling me a story about how a guy bought (back in the day) a mint condition Ford Cortina for about 10% of what he bought it for! (was only about 6 months old)

The guy had been caught by his wife shall we say "playing hide the sausage" with his receptionist, the mrs got the hump and sold his nearly brand new car - I thought that was a good deal, but it sounds like yours is better still!

Welcome.
