Nice one fella Totally understand why you can't part with it, i run an '04 1.8Lx for work. Had it from new, and apart from oil, plugs, pads etc it has wanted for nothing & never let me down or had any part fail. Can't see me changing mine either

says it all good cars the mondeo mind you i bet you must have looked after it ie oil change etc,

the funny thing is at first it was my company car  when i left to set up my own business my old boss sold it too me for the grand sum of £1000 at 1 year old  it was more of a thank you for working my nuts off for him for 15 years   im now going to start tidying it up as it has aqquired a few dents  luckilly on the wing and 2 doors  so will just replace them
