Post by: gtomo2 on June 27, 2010, 07:21:48
Well after the hassle of the last mot and the rear end rotting in front of my eyes thanks the the last owner having a speed boat and living near the sea. The rear quater of the chassic was rotting from the inside out and rear wheel arches rusting faster than i could re plate them i found the answer to my problems..
 I got part ex it for a new one. went to look at a nice td5 disco with face lift and bought ........................................................................... a jjjjjjjjjjaaaaaaaagggggg (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c257/gtomo2/motors/The%20Jag/07062010082-1-1.jpg) instead nice and comfey just not that good off road.

It shouldn't put you off - the mondeo and X type are both great cars - we've owned several of both from new and never had any gripes.

Nice colour by the way - which engine is in it?

 I worked for jaguar when the x type was released  :roll:   Sure kept me busy in warranty dept  :lol:  But in fairness after the "first of a kind " had there issues sorted they did become more user friendly, Very good value for money second hand nowdays  :clap:

The Mondeo is a damn good car, better than a BMW these days.

Must say its a fab car. It may have a ford running gear but is its not a ford inside. Its the 2.5 v6 auto. with full black leather interior and all the toys. and oh so comfy.

And yes think i am getting old. Anyone seen any leather driving gloves and were did i put that trilby hat. Ha ha
