After the smart and astra gone new cars moved in

As above the smart going onto pastures new on here and the astra being scrapped I was on the look out for another car. 

A 2006 mondeo tdci came up.

I bought it then pretty much went straight on holiday(well back home) to the Isle of Wight in it.

All was going well till a loud band from the back end. 

 

Got out and the exhaust had fallen off. Thing is it's no louder than when I bought the damn thing. Well we have fitted a new exhaust and tyre and its being used for work. It needs some repairs before long as its knocking from the strut top and the injectors will need changing at some point also the aux belt and tensioner need doing.

At least it drives nice and has good ac.

My vitesse will be taken off the road when the mot runs out. I just need to find somewhere to store it and then it will be treated to a full restoration as unfortunately rust has set in.

I felt I needed something automatic again and after seeing this car I bought it

It's a 2007 s type jaguar xs. It's the 2.7 by twin turbo diesel.

Lovely car. Just need an older shite car in the mix now.

 

Well this is what's happened so far. Well I also bought a sinclair zike to go with my sinclair c5.

Thanks Thomas

Just cut the back box off the Mondeo, you don’t need it lol. I’ve got a side exit stainless pipe for a Mk3 tdci estate if you fancy a giggle one day. So much fun ?

 

and that S types got the same engine as my Discovery I think. Top job

Not quite it was a joint effort by psa and Ford. It's not wholly a peugeot product. Lovely smooth engine though.

Surprised me as I thought a jag shouldn't have a diesel
