Just Servicing, I am happy as Larry with my Mondeo and the mileage is high.
Need rear wheel bearing, suspension disc and pads. To be expected on high milleage car. Friend who does servicing recons apart from that its perfect. Drives like new. Been told to replace propeller on water pump as if that goes serious overheating problems. Resulting in engine damage.
I don't understand why people are complaining about running costs. My 2544cc does about 30-32mpg. If I drive hard it pretty well stays at 28mpg average at the lowest. I think for a largeish engine this is excellent.
How do you manage that fuel consumption? The very best I can do on motorway is 32mpg. If it only gets used for the school run and shopping, it can be as low as 20mpg. And it's not as if I live in the middle of town - we're in the countryside on the outskirts of Reading.
Simon.
I have a v6 ghia x auto... it rarely drops below 28 mpg running around town, on holiday to france last summer (2003) it averaged 37 mpg over 1200 miles at mostly very high speed heavily laden cruising :o)
