They are set up ok. Vag specialist and done plenty of dsg boxes. They were my regular garage, when the Mrs had her TT.

The powershite box- learn something new every day or Ford are talking shite. Finally found a local garage that will change the fluid in the Mondeo. Very reasonable quote, but no filter itemised. Went to see them. Ford have told them, there are 3 types of powershift box (news to me) and mine does not have a filter. Every YT vid I've seen for the Powershite box has a filter. Booked it in for two weeks time. If they find it does have a filter, they can sort it out with Ford. In two weeks time, expect a post along the lines of ' Powershift failure'

How do you get a ticket? Is it a YT channel?

Well at the weekend, I found some old greased lightning waterless wash and wax in the shed. Been there at least 8 yrs. So I decided to polish the Mondeo in the dark (as you do). Clearly I missed half the bonnet. In other news, while many AS members will be enjoying shitefest this weekend, I will be on a collection mission.

G3 is good stuff. When I was trading motors, 20 years ago, some G3 could add pounds to the sticker price. Since then technology has probably moved on, but its still my fave for scratch removal.

for confirming the problem for the technical hitch

To be safe you would need to be named on his insurance and drive with the trade plate displayed.

Thats a tough one. Spend the money on a new motor, not that you will get a lot for 800 quid, or fix what you have. Thats a big bill. If you love it and plan on keeping it a long time, then worth fixing. But if neither of those apply, then time for it to go.

College motors - they have fb page. Also join the owners club fb group. They will be able to point you in right direction. Other groups available too, that are really good.

Was the designer responsible for the Discovery 3's back end, also responsible for this?

Very quick update Mondeo - still providing great service. Still not polished the headlights or changed the fluid in the powershite box. I clearly like to live dangerously. Honda - Its a Honda, so absolutely nothing to report. I'm a tad worried about the high bite point, but its been like that forever. Not sure why I'm stressing about it. A car has been purchased. Well a deposit has been put down. I will be going on a cross country trip in a couple of weeks to get it. Its Mrs Cookie's birthday in a couple of weeks and as I have failed miserably to build the fire 🔥 pit she wanted, thought I'd better get her a motor instead.

2nd guess A4 convertible?

CLK convertible?

Very well bought Sir. Enjoy it for the average two weeks. Should roffle well

Mondeo went in for MOT today. Bunged it in a month early. Passed - Thankfully.

Thank fcuk for that. Well done @Slartibartfast I did have therapy booked for today. I can now cancel it

Mondy had a service today - Oil and Oil / Air / Fuel filters. Plus brake check. 168 inc vat. Pretty happy and the car does drive a little better, so the oil change has done it good.

They were reasonably popular 'back in the day'

Don't get your hopes up. Need to increase the budget a bit and persuade Mrs Cookie that she actually likes white cars

Thanks. Will be in touch if I need to pick your brains.

Thanks. I've managed to get whole advert off Internet. Hoping to make arrangements to go view.

My budget is also skinflint. 4k is out of budget. There is one in Portishead on the club classifieds. I use to work with the current owner. Loads of work done but smoky engine, which scares me.

Fleet wise, not a lot happening. Mondeo is off for oil and filters on Friday. Honda keeps Hondering. Mrs Cookie got very upset that I didn't buy the Austin 1300 ADO16 that was for sale. I didn't expect her to like it. Now I spend a lot of time perusing classifieds to find one in budget. Budget is not big enough lol

Parked next to me at Supermarket in Frome. From the look of the interior, I can well believe its done 400k.

Plausible reason
