I think that's the one my folks have got, they drag a shed with it all over the place and it hardly notices.

ah yeah I remember seeing it at your gaff - they did a 90, 115, 130 and 150 bhp versions. The 90bhp one is quite rare, the 150bhp is the Mondeo ST 2.2 turbo diesel with leather seats and stuff... Think mine was the 115bhp 5 speed one, loved it

They did do it other models than the ST in the old shape, but the new shape I think it is only in the ST. My uncle has 11 Mondeo TDCI's as taxi's and avoids the 150 after being stung by a couple, they have a penchant for blowing up turbo's.

yeah, also the injectors on the 150bhp engine are meant to be a bit hit & miss, and are also known for costing more than 3 grams of gold plated dinosaur poo.

Still, the 115 and 130's are great
