They fucked up the phone number on the boot lid though. Aberdeen area code is 01224, not 0224.

Most area codes changed to 01 in 1995. This ties in with Callanders not being around for a long time, late '90s I'd have thought.

Well that explains HMC's mysterious comment earlier then. Thanks! :D

Apparently the cost of a new clutch, 4 injectors and lots of suspension bits didn't make them give up on this, but a turbo and a wheel bearing has. Turbo rebuild kit is £30 on ebay, WCPGW.

That's a familiar looking interior... Wrong engine though.

Ghia X interior is very nice. I'm growing to like mine more and more.

 

I've not seen any Mk3 Mondeos in that shade of red before. It's rather fetching.

Be like Hirst

 

I'm even more drawn to the Aussie Quints with a Brit badge.
Were they also badged-up at the Suzuka plant, or upon arrival?

Because of the price of OSF tax I'm glad this is already making strong money, plus it needs some work. Mine had rotten underneath the kit, but I had it all done and still regret selling it.

My 6 months with one, after I inherited some money off my nan when she died, was the most miserable dream turning into worst ever nightmare scenario.  

 

It broke down on the way home, - the HT lead had come off the coil, and I couldn't open the bonnet

2 days later It wouldn't turn the front wheels as the power steering fluid had gone - rusty hole in the side of the reservoir.

2 days later the oil light started flashing after I changed the oil and put the correct but too thin for the amount of wear.

It FTP a week later when taking the family out. And then started again with no explanation.

The front brakes seized, electrical items stopped working, including the boot lock solenoid.

I was offer a 70K SEH from a mk3, and had to go to casualty after I cut my arm VERY badly and deeply taking it out.

I paid a garage in Runcorn to swap it over. I had weeks of poor running. and unexplained FTPs. Eventually found that the dizzy cap was different on the mk3 and the leads - especially the one to the coil were overheating.

Got it working fine, attended 2007 VBOA with mk2cav.com and three weeks later wrapped the conrods around the starter motor on the Runcorn bridge on the Friday afternoon rush hour.

Wife insisted I sold it.

Please, stop reminding me that these exist!

There was a tasty Rover Quintet local to me that I always regretted not inquiring about as it disappeared off the driveway one day and never came back.
