Ben1 i have had ford most of my life every time i try and move away from ford (bmw,pug) i just find them ether a right pain to work on or they just unreliable.
Inside it looks good, just needs a bit of a hoover and polish and all is good, just need to look under it for rust, there is non on the panel work at all.
Looks like i might have a new project now, the only thing i dont like the sound of is the mpg, my 2l tdci mondeo gets 93mpg motorway and 64mpg around town, some thing tells me this will get no were near that
