There's little danger of me ever waking up in that as I wouldn't have been able to get to sleep in the first place, even if it was the right way up.

Oh! fucking hell, I didn't actually realise it was upside down until you said that LOL

Have we had this? Tidy looking V6 Mk1 Mondeo, MOT'd til February 2021.

Seems very reasonably priced at £1295 to my mind.

We have but who cares its a lovely looking thing. 

I had an estate version in Manuel flavour which was free and loved it. Another one I should have kept but fuel was £1.50 a litre back in 2008 and it seemed expensive to run then. Was actually not bad on fuel at all. Took it on a long run to Brighton amazed at the cruise control and heated front screen being a Ghia flava.

Was going to say that looks quite well done but then I noticed it has no brakes. For 2400 I could buy a VFR and ride it for years. 

No brakes and the frame is filled with petrol. ?

Cambelt change is not difficult on this, or expensive. Why take the risk?

I'm going to have to fight the urge to bid on this. Wonder what it needs to get a test.

I suppose you can get away with that on an old TDI.  A modern diesel driven like that would shart its DPF and / or DMF in short order.

Modern DPF is a close coupled affair. So it's quite capable of regenerating at 2k rpm by using the normal method of injecting fuel while the exhaust valve is open. Our 2010 A4 happily does it at 20mph in 2nd gear for instance. At 10 years old, it's not particularly modern anymore and the engine in it has been around a few years longer than that. It was the 2005-2009 period where manufacturers retrofitted DPFs had the biggest issues as the placement of them aren't optimal and tend to be a long way away from the exhaust manifold. 

Revving a diesel hard just produces more soot. This then fills the DPF quicker, regen more often and build up ash content. Hence shorten their lives. 

[wuvvum]

I'll take your word for it, I really don't understand the bloody things.  My only experience with a DPF is on my 2008 Mondeo, which has been a pain in the arse, presumably for the reasons you evoke.

MK4 Mondeo DPF lives under the car (FOR7003)

Mk5 Mondeo DPF lives in the engine bay (FOR7049H). Inlet is directly attached to the turbo outlet. 

As you might imagine, being in the engine bay, directly next to and connected to the turbo will allow it to get a lot hotter quicker and stay a lot hotter for longer. Exactly what a DPF needs to burn off soot content during a regen. 

You can tell that the Mondeo Mk5 was designed with DPF placement in mind. While the MK4 looks a decidedly retrofitted item later in the models lifecycle. Especially being after the Cat and quite away from the hot stuff. The hot exhaust gases from the engine + turbo will be cooled off in the cat, pipework and then air blowing over the DPF under the car.

Of course any DPF still can be a pain in the bum when something causes high soot content and fills it up quickly (e.g. leaky injectors). Or measurements go out of whack and regens happen too often/too little. But then the people driving behind the broken diesel will be appreciative that it isn't chucking out shit loads of clag and the fault ignored!

[wuvvum]

So presumably FOR1097H and FOR5089H are the cats in the respective setups?

Looks like it. Googling FOR1097H brings up a cat. The part numbers on the Mk5 don't bring up anything on Google, but then that's probably because they're too new for aftermarket parts to be in ready supply. 

[SiC]

Also GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filters) are a thing now, mostly currently restricted to the high performance stuff. But with ever tightening emissions regs and manufacturers pushing internal combustion tech to its limits, they'll end up filtering down to lower models. 

With electric cars becoming the mainstay, ever cheaper and even humdrum models offering superb real world performance (i.e. under 100mph), the dinosaur fueled vehicles will become dinosaurs themselves. Thus prime cheap fodder for this forum if still around in 10 to 15 years. Especially big engined stuff that has the GPF that will look expensive to run with performance not that special against a big standard electric car. So we'll have to be familiar and get used to this tech for a good while longer!

The alternative is to buy a good condition 2000 era petrol with manifold fuel injection (none of the FSI or like nonsense) and keep it! Simple enough to not only work on, but parts tolerances less critical and even the electronics are simple to be replaced if the ECU conks out (e.g. possible to replace with mega squirt or equivalent). Something that isn't as easily done once into direct injection where injection timing is critical.

I remember every Isuzu Trooper I saw being absolutely hanging with rust... 10 years ago! It's been years since I saw one in person.

The only ones I ever did see belonged to farmers though, so they had a hard life.

This is pretty much like one I had 25 years ago, thing is the summer of 95 was a bit mental and that gold Granny ( and me) only just survived it . Not sure if I’m up for reliving it .

Wrong model, wrong colour, I'm not on Facebook and mine is sold, but otherwise it's spot on.

I always find the sink in campers a bit small , but I suppose weight and  space have to be considered.

Seems there’s a CA Dormobile sitting in a field with no badge , as well.

it’s even got a picture of it’s PSV COIF to prove it’s a minibus!
