the million(artistic licence) mile Mondeo Taxi
Discussion
some of you may remember previous Mondeo taxi threads, with my many mile Mondeo,
well she now has a new baby sister to keep her company.
its a 2016 Mondeo Titanium, running a 2l tdci 150 engine.
This one will be hopefully clocking up somewhere in the region of 100k a year for the next 5 years
currently completely standard, and if your one of those pesky meddling types that like to report people to licencing authorities for example she'll be staying that way
err that doesn't count as a mod does it
passed her taxi inspection this morning all well and will be out earning her keep tomorrow.
First impressions are how rattle free it is compared to the mk4.5, how high she sits(which I honestly wont be doing anything about ) and how annoying the gloss black interior trim is, had it a couple of hours and its a complete ust magnet.

That's a shame - obviously someone got rubbed up the wrong way Love to hear the life of a high mileage driver. Even "at the garage getting new tyres, like I was 6 weeks ago" is interesting!
Custom stickers ftw
First impressions it's torquey more than a stock mk4.5 and not far off a mapped one (not that I would know)
It's quiet supposedly 3db quieter at motorway speeds than a 3 series
And it's HUGE thank god it's got sensors

Have I missed something? Why are you not using the other one anymore?
just fancied a new toy, she's sitting on 310k miles now, and despite a heavy maintenance regime she is feeling tired.

YC - Get her from Leeds?
I can't work out the new Mondeo DRL situation (sad I know) - some have LEDs in the headlights, some in the fogs and some just have halogen bulbs? Also saw one with sweeping front indicators, ala Audi
yep, Ringway ford in Leeds.I can't work out the new Mondeo DRL situation (sad I know) - some have LEDs in the headlights, some in the fogs and some just have halogen bulbs? Also saw one with sweeping front indicators, ala Audi
the DRLs are down to if the car has the LED lights or not, LED lights, DRLs in the headlights, standard headlights, fitted into the fogs
