Family friends did just that last Friday. 2007 - 2015. The wife was as happy as larry! Decided to hold onto the old one too. I'm not gone on the rear, front looks well though. There's only titanium and zetec specs available with the mk5. Nothing different cosmetically between the 2 outside, but the radio is a major improvement on the inside. The zetec inside is poor.

The interior is A1 on the Titanium Mondeo now, but Im just not gone on the exterior. If I were to get one for its looks, I would nearly go for the estate version of it (and I was never a fan of estate's!).
^ Regarding the estate, I have never seen one in person, onky in the brochuere

Take a look here, I got a few snaps of an estate last Dec.

Have an 11 mondeo and its good spec so will be holding onto that for a while, havent had a chance to look at the new one yet but it looks very similar bar the front end to the previous model.

Pfft... Probably last weekend. The m stripes on the front caught my eye when I passed it so I remember it. Pretty sure it was Mahon point. The halfords side? sorry I'm a bit light on the specifics!

Ah yeah, I was there last Saturday, looking for bulbs but they don't have a great range tbh.

Really liked those yokes since they came out in 2007(?). Lovely looking motor and even the 1.8T is a very nice car. Good luck with it!

Cheers man, had my last A4 for 7 years so I decided to treat myself. Big difference, takes a bit of getting used to but happy with it.

Great looking car, well wear!

Long time no chat lads.... Just got rid of the Xsara today (Ball of sh!te!!!). Dad got a 2012 Megane yesterday so i'm buying his 08 Grande Punto 1.3 Multijet 90hp Sporting. Getting a major service done this weekend and a full valet then NCT sorted in the next few weeks hopefully. Will then add my own touches to it. Very happy though and got a good deal Punto number 4 for me!!

Pictures to come....

What was right with it :pac: Only put a new clutch in it middle of January, then the flashing engine light came on 2 weeks ago so been parked up since. Was misfiring to bits and belt was shaking big time... Kept cutting out and stuff. Also needed tracking done and one of the doors just seized and wouldn't open so wasn't even worth putting the money in to nct the thing. . Only lost 100 Euro on the cost price, could've been a lot lot worse.

Sorry to hear that.

I had a Xsara for about a year and half, had no issues like that. No issues at all, tbh. I don't know, maybe I got lucky. Bought it without NCT and it passed on first try. It only had about 82k miles on it at the time though.

Despite that I still prefer German and Japanese cars. Here's a throwback pic. :P

Took some obligatory Yob photos in a multi-storey park trying to capture the lights at night, still have to mess around with the camera a lot more!

Best of a bad lot :pac:

Yep, changed from Halogen to LED as it's hard to find Halogen bulbs that aren't from BMW. They cost €30 for the pair and for Chinese bulbs they're actually great, good light and they don't "Bleed" out of the rings either!
