    What a car!

    it's absolutely mint inside, and i mean that, outside i'd give it 9.5 out of 10.

    Has every extra including a built in phone under the armrest (bar a sunroof).

    Absolutely chuffed, taxed until 07-12 too!

    Didn't check if the timing belt was done on it or not, turns out they're a chain so pheww.

    it drives like new, there's not a rattle, bang or fart out of it. Power isn't great in 1st, 2nd or 3rd, but there's plenty of overtaking power in 4th and 5th. Feels the same as a Mondeo to drive to be honest, but it's a hell of a lot of a nicer place to be in.

    Only mod i'd consider doing is the facelifted grill (if it's possible), other than that i'm happy.

    Four, basically new, tyres too :)

    If that still bothers you down the road ( no pun intended) then a remap will fix that. Worth considering later on.

    ........ might be an out of spec MAF :)

    When I was a rep one of the other lads got a new X type diesel, it wasn't bad to go at all in the lower gears tbh.

    My uncle got one a few years ago, felt a good bit slower in the low gears than the monðeo 130 I was driving, could be gearing as well though as the monðeo was 6 speed. I'd say a remap would transform it,

    They're common rail so not immune to the odd injector issue but as in Mondeo guise they are a reliable unit overall :)
