i went into my local motor factors for a bearing and an exhaust,£105 for a fag (lol) bearing and £65 for another make,or £37 delivered off ebay.the guy on ebay had sold 308 of them so they must be pretty common.
i was going to buy a newer mondeo titainium x sport estate,but with 2 dogs and a baby i really need something bigger.
they have their faults,some years are better than others but mine has been good so far engine wise*
