New bulb in my 12v outlet and a bit of oil on the blackwork.

Excellent chassis and body - the lead designer was previously responsible for VWs 1997 Passat and you can see the common design heritage in the Mondeo

Watch out for DMF rattle and in the service history, if only one injector has been replaced, walk away. Replacing them any other way than 4 at a time sets off a chain reaction of issues which will destroy the engine. Injectors last less than 90,000 miles

buying from a dealer, have recept for a separate company in Belfast for may 550 for replacement of clutch flywheel and bearing,
its a 500 quid car think ill take the risk on the injectors (have no info on them being changed) and just get a good injector cleaner on it. its only a lil smokey when accelerating hard but its pulls strong all the way though

I swapped out my velour seats for the leather cream ones I purchased Wednesday for my new V40 T4. Never gave it a thought, but the leather seats came out of a S40 and when I came to install the middle seat in the back hasn't got a seat belt with it. I think the seat belt on the S40 must be attached to parcel shelf where as the seat I took out has a seat belt within the seat! Another project for another day.

Just have it as a 4 belt car!

Can't remember when I last had five in my car.

Not sure on MOT regs though.

No interest in TUV or any other regulations SS007, just UK MOT!

Drove mine about not much else. Although the seat belt buckle on my dad's drivers seat split apart today and he can't connect his seatbelt now.
