Just come back from Mold to pick my dad's pride and joy CL 180 Merc, drives really well and looks the part. :D He's part exchanged is Jaguar V8 for it and have to say he's made the right choice. :thumbsup:

I'm currently sreaching for a new motor myself, The mondeo is gone with parts removed to make some cash out of it. :D

Broke down a few times last night, worst of all it was on a round about. :o My mondeo has been problem after problem so it has now passed on. :cry: My wallet was taken over by the mondeo. No wounder I wasn't saving anything. :(

I'm in no rush YET, i'm just going to save now and buy a low millage car thats been looked afterd. :thumbsup: You pay for what you get. :thumbsup:

Has to be a diesel tho, Looking at Rover 75's CL180 Diesel, Ford Mondeo Mk4, Focus Mk2 and many more, not going for french cars as I think there crap and not reliable. :m_yes:

    Definitely not a Rover and most certainly not a 75.

    They are extremely unreliable and you'd quickly end up regretting the purchase.

    I think the Mondeo is the route forward for you, and you'll be much happier in the long run.

    All depends what Rover engine you get, The 2.0L diesel model is all BMW engines not a k-series engine which I've worked on in the past.

    Looking at a Mondeo soon, arranged to see it, lets just this doesn't need anything doing. :)

    Will be a away for while need to sort work too. See you all soon. :)

    Go for a Focus or another Mondeo. If you go focus, go for the 1.8 diesel, no french cack in the bonnet!
