Bought this the other week:

Ford Mondeo TDCi 130 6speed Titanium X 2006

Half leather (Heated and Cooled)
Fold in wing mirrors
Bluetooth Sony Radio
Rear Parking sensors
Voice control (will change climate temp e.t.c via voice - Although pretty lazy and pointless! :lol
Auto wipers and lights
Auto dimming rear view mirror
Heated front windscreen (Steve :wave

and other bits and bobs.

I have managed to collect two sets of Mondeo ST alloys so will get them fitted ASAP after a refurb.

Plans are to lower it, front and rear ST bumpers with ST side skirts, OEM Xenon headlights and OEM Denso SatNav. Maybe a remap aswel.

Still need to give it a polish and wax at some point. Also put my private reg on it today.

The colour is 'Tango' which is my favourite bit of the car I think. Looks lovely and fairly rare on the Mk3 Mondeo I think.

Also feels faster and handles better than my old modded 1.6 Sport!











Gave it a service on Friday using genuine ford items. (fuel filter, oil filter, pollen filter, air filter, oil and new sump plug). Its on 120k, didn't come with any service history and looking at the filters it was in need of one!




After:



Service:

Brave man buying on 120k with no history should look good with a kit on in that colour

Looos great, love the colour. My dads is on 180k and still going strong, those engines last forever.

Plans sound good too.

Previously had a Mk4 Astra esate 1.7TD, bought it as I quit my job and am going to Uni for a year so needed something cheap to travel in. Four of us travelled in it so it was slow as fuck and cramped so sold it and bought this!

Not to bothered about the service history, was previously a company car at some point so should have been serviced fairly regularly with any luck!

Runs sweet, have already put 1000 miles on it, no smoke, burning oil e.t.c. so should be ok!

My Dad had a 51plate and 55plate and put 130k+ on them with no issues!

The Land Rover is for off roading and tows my boat!

Was going to be my first question.

It's kinda cool though, I'm not having a dig.

Still got the one above, will be up for sale soon though, its done 7k hassle free

However, the Mondingo bug has bit

Spent about 2 months looking for a decent one of these...

A few months ago I had arranged a deal for a 2004 ST220, the day before I was suppose to pick it up, it apparently broke down so that didnt happen. I had looked at a few 2003-4 ones that were full of rust above the windscreen, door bottoms and front arches.

However I did a 400 mile round trip for this one on Friday and im over the moon!
93k miles, FFSH, recaro's and Xenons and in the best colour!

Yesterday I gave it a clean in and out, lather conditioned the interior, polish, tyre shine e.t.c. I also fitted the chrome boot trim that came with my Titanium X.

Enjoy!:




You can see the Titanium X's boot in the back, was taking the tow bar off!









Plans:
Eibach lowering springs
Denso Satnav
Miltek exhaust

It is in superb condition, all original paint work (ford service paint stamps up to date aswel, immaculate interior, only two minor dents and very few stone chips.

Very happy!

Found a vid of your old one and it does sound great. How much was yours? Would buy 2nd hand, don't want the pipes to be much different from the originals as they fit the car well! Thanks

I do prefer the look of the saloons but I can't live without a big car now, so handy!
These do still look good though and are rarer I guess

That looks ace! Much nicer than the tango one. Plans sound good but it's perfect as it is anyway imo.

Great choice of car!
