The damage kinda ruins the looks.Or if the cabrio doesn't tickle your fancy then there is this hardtop version.

Our new Bangernomic - '06 Mondeo ST TDCi - picked this up on Thursday night.
Ex UK police car which has the tell-tale holes in the dash, but also benefits from a remap (estimated 180ish bhp). Bit rough around the edges (eagle eyed will spot that the front bumper is a different shade of silver) but all factored in to the price. Needs an engine mount, service, possible front shock top-mount and there's only maybe a months life left in the mis-sized rear tyres. Initially it was bought to see me through the winter (NCT till June 2018) .. but now I've driven it I kinda like it and I'm considering putting some money into it :eek:
Watch this space as they say - so far I've removed all the junk. An interesting task which netted some deodorant, lip gloss, chocolate coins, a busted phone, samsung earphones, wire crimpers, about 10 quid in change and a roll of Christmas wrapping paper
Vacuumed it thoroughly and gave it a wash to see what I've bought and what I'm going to do.

Hi,
Lovely car. Where did you buy it from and how much roughly did you pay ?
I have always liked the diesel mondos. What are they like reliability wise ?0 -

Got it in Galway after seeing it advertised on a Facebook page. Paid 650, with 20 back for luck and found about 10 euro in it while cleaning it out - so just the car alone worked out at 620. I can spend money on it and still stay well within the Bangernomics budgetHi,
Lovely car. Where did you buy it from and how much roughly did you pay ?
I have always liked the diesel mondos. What are they like reliability wise ? Bodywork is rough though, along with the bits I listed, so price reflected condition to be fair. I've already replaced all the bulbs in the rear lamps along with all the bulbs in the speedo display.
As for reliability - I've read that injectors can cause issues, DMF like all diesels, but not a whole lot else stands out that wouldn't wear out on any other car.0
