07ish

From 07 on anyway the titanium & titanium X spec was introduced, which is a better spec than a Ghia. The Ghia spec was discontinued in 2009.

It depends. Ghia had more comforts while Titanium had more flashy bits.

Well speaking from mondeo terms, there really is nothing in the difference between Zetec and Ghia, apart from that awful wood dash. Whereas titanium has the autowipers/lights, heated seats and the display system etc

Last piece of the jigsaw acquired.

Now I can have my fun assembling this machine

There's two titaniums then to confuse things, one with an X on the end. The one without is a Zetec with sports seats for the most part. No fancy dials or heated seats.

It's not got a single straight panel, but in fairness it's bloody very solid.

Would any of you lovely folk have any of the following for sale

A boost gauge, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, voltmeter, exhaust gas temp gauge?

CianRyan

I know a lad selling a Bee-R Rev Limiter if that's any use to you.

Finally got scratchy fixed today, another upper control arm (from Alfa this time as Febi lost their last one :eek:) new passenger front wheel bearing, also from Alfa as it couldn't be found anywhere else. And the brakes work again (I've been pumping them for the last 3 days) all in time for it to sit outside my uncles house for the next 3 weeks while I go to Dallas (again) for another 3 weeks:rolleyes: at least this time I have a drivers licence (Ndls are useless cvnts)

While all this was happening today I was driving an Opel Insignia (yes of course it was silver :rolleyes:) and surprisingly I liked it, gearing is way too high and the steering is way too light but apart from that a nice drive! Very comfortable and this one had a decent few toys too.

Better odd with an Altezza, more power and less thirsty.
Unless you like the comfy.

In fairness it's really not that bad at all! Maybe because it's the manual variant or something!

I'd like an altezza but they're too chavved the **** out of now!

Mine is manual, fuel economy still not great for the power you get imo. I like it though, comfy and smooth to drive.

True, it's a different drive to my diesel. The torque is missing but it pulls well enough through the range.
Really likes being revved.
