I'm looking forward to a long future with my collection off mk2 Ghia X mondeo's. Just about every luxury that was on offer is used to give fantastic comfort and a lovely drive. I use one off my auto 2.0l silver top models everyday and its a joy. I'm hoping to save at least one 1997 launch spec model as a future classic. I also have a 2000 version sat awaiting a restoration. Ill be be using the auto daily for as long as im able to as so happy with everything about these cars. Read more
Ford has announced that the Mondeo will be replaced by a new model at the end of 2019. It's not a massive surprise: Ford has been talking about this for years, and it was widely rumoured that the arrival of next-generation cars would coincide with the end of the current generation. Through Ecopayz Casino games people are earning a lot of money and considered it as a source of passive income. Read more
I recently purchased a 57 plate 231 bhp RX8 with only 51,000 miles for £1000 - full mot, uprated brakes- just needed a good clean inside.
My advice? DO NOT put Mazda Europe's recommended 5W30 oil in, it's not up to it and will kill your engine. Speak to any top rotary shop and they will only go with 15W40, and mineral.......Idemitsu racing oil is the best if you can get it. Read more
My red oil light came on and she was dry as a nuns joke book so I put a litre of engine oil in it at the service station as she was starting to get a smelly burning smell.I had only had the car a few days.Anyway not knowing anything about car engines I half whitingly picked up a litre of high performance engine oil for both petrol and diesel.Thats all I read on the bottle to feel half satisfied.Cant remember the make.It certainly wasn’t Castrol or one of them popular brands.thinking that was enough I drove on home waiting in vain for the oil light to go out.The next day it was still on but before I got a chance to top it up the clutch went.She had done 82450 miles.i gt the clutch fixed for £300 (is that cheap?) and went and put another litre of oil in her forgetting the make of the first litre I put in her.Have I potentially caused myself an even bigger hole in my pocket.Also she has a hot/cold problem so I need to start it all the time with a booster pack.what is the cause and solution and cost to this please
The reply by Keith Moody about how many Standard Vanguards were made was odd. The reference to Pick-up was
strange as I often drove Standard Vanguard saloons during my National Service 1954-1957. They were not very nice to drive having soft suspension which gave a lot of wallowing and the 3-speed column change gearbox was a blighter until you got used to it. But officers transport it often was so it was obviously quite a decent motor.... Read more
Hi Brian. Somehow the reference to 'utes' got taken out of the original question (which was how many utes were made - hence the answer about pick-ups and utes.
I'm concerned about all classic, vintage and veteran cars coming on to the road without any kind of compulsory safety inspection. I realise that modern emissions criteria and brake efficiency tests can't be applied to older vehicles.
A major question is what construction and usage regs will apply? I recall older cars having no or one brake lights from new and only one headlight opeating on dip. Many people had to uprate the lighting and added indicator systems to make cars legal and easier to integrate with modern traffic.... Read more

I have just sold my Rover 75 Club SE 2.0L V6 Which is in the class of the Rover 25. I am regretting selling it already.
It is still a car of distinction and got plenty of second looks in town. It's sleek lines have often been compared to a Jaguar. I have owned a Jaguar X Type and while the engine of the Jag is better, I couldn't help feeling more cosseted in the Rover.
The paintwork on my Rover seemed thicker and was more resistant to stone chips and boy does it polish up. The bodywork on my Rover had no rust, nor did the chrome, the chassis was also rust free.
I felt safe in the car, as safe as I do in a new car and I have had new cars for the last 16 years but only had them for 3 years at a time. Why? , new cars are boring.
