And the long list of problems with them, injectors, dmf, clutches, starter motors, fuel pumps etc etc. Get him to try a Hyundai I30, cheap as chips, and the size of a Focus. |

Sorry to hijack the thread (ok, I'm not really) bit it is kinda linked
A few years ago a mate of mine had an autotrader advert location finder that triangulated the location by using a selection of UK postcodes to search the same car. Did it all for you, then plotted the locations on a map. When autotrader redid their site it stopped it working and he didn't have the time or inclination to rewrite it, so took it down.
Anyone know of a similar site?

How about sticking with the current motor and just run it till the wheels fall off
And save the dollar for something more important than a nearly new car

Right, so to clarify we're all singing from the same hymn sheet : We're looking for a 2.5 Mondeo, no earlier than an 09 plate, can't be red, white or black for £5000 + your Dads car Anyone who finds such a deal will win a years supply of microfibre cloths |
