Roffle Mission Accomplished - Mondeo in Midlandland

[Ohdearme]

Righto, since my evenings have been taken over renovating the house again I have no time for two car shitery.

 

I fired the Mondeo up for the first time in a month to move it out of the way of a delivery of 12 tonnes of hardcore and realised how neglected it is.

 

Unlike the galaxy, where I have fixed things, the Mondeo is very much in the ‘two steps backward phase’.

 

The eml is now flashing but a quick run on my private* road confirmed it will drives fine so maybe because it’s been sat?

 

I’m not going to fix the bits myself, nor am I going to have spare funds to pay a man to do so given the eye bleeding rate cash is pissing away on the house again so this is a roffle

 

I paid £500 but given it’s gone backwards, but still has ticket to July I think £5 a head is fair, or 3 for a lucky £13.

 

Good

Full black dead cow

2.5 V6 petroleums

Full main stealer history

Heated bum cheeks

Ticket to July

Half a tank of petrol included

Brand new fitted boot liner...mmm rubber

 

Bad

Needs a radio

New centre console to fix marks caused by my ham fists

Noisy wheel bearing drivers side needs attention (new pair supplied)

Locking wheel nut is AWOL making wheel bearing a nuisance to do

EML is now on but seems to drive ok

It’s a bit denty and scuffed around the place but nothing dangerous.

 

Indifferences

Replacement centre console to fix scratches caused by me trying to get out radio included

30mpgs ish

 

It’s in Castleford, West Yorkshire.

 

Pics to follow.

[Cavcraft]

Well up for a few tickets on that.

[Brodders]

Does it come with the contents!

[sierraman]

Does it have an alarm?

[Jim Bell]

I'd have a trio on principal.

[Ohdearme]

Does it have an alarm?

Unsure, I’ll don balaclava on the way to work, reconstruct a perimeter intrusion and report back.

 

It does have an auto dimming rear view mirror so if your carjacker has a head torch at least you won’t be dazzled during the ordeal.

[eddyramrod]

Proper gears or DIY?

[DSdriver]

I would be up for this just for the V6 experience but that there Yorkshireland is a long way from the sunny* South so unfortunately I can't play.

[gadgetgricey]

Proper gears or DIY?

 

I think in the corner of picture 2, the shifter is visible, so proper gears.

[oldcars]

Would, but as you MURDERED a penguin, i'm out.

How bad is the wheel bearing, cause they’ll go on a for quite a while when they start making a noise?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Does it have an alarm?

 

 

Deal breaker IMO.

[sierraman]

Needs to have a inside boot mounted yellow Yale alarm for insurance purposes.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

For the massive payout if it gets nicked. 

 

'Has it got an alarm?"

 

'Yes'.

[loserone]

What insurer is that? I put in a reg, pick "<£5000", tick "unmodified" and then pick drivers.

[sierraman]

Look over the pictures of the inside of the boot with all the crap in it. It was my attempt at a fairly shit joke.

It is no longer my tip run vehicle of choice now I have the Galaxy

He's done two four leggeds tools

 

He's now looking for a two leggeds tool to take it off his hands.

 

Sorry, could not resist that one.

 

It is a well giffered Ghia is that, but GLWTS, it should do someone OK

[Ohdearme]

How bad is the wheel bearing, cause they’ll go on a for quite a while when they start making a noise?

I’ve stuck about 800 miles on it without drama. It’s noisier at certain speed but the radio was drowning it out till I broke it.

 

No major vibrations through the wheel just a drone.

[Ohdearme]

Just to add, I’ll consider swaps for anything that will go on a classic policy seeing as the Galaxy is dropping a bit of middle pedal fluid so a spare classic* car will work as I can’t get the galaxy if mondeo on one.

[bangernomics]

Yes 47 my golden* number.

 

 

*never yet paid off.

[CortinaDave]

3 please!

[Ohdearme]

Answers to questions nobody asked...

 

 

Mondeo holds 130 imperial bricks in main boot.

 

Suspension coping well*

 

Fortunately these are just coming from two doors down on street

[sierraman]

Cue a pair of leaking shockers for the test.
