Good evening to everyone, on Friday I pick up my first Mondeo..which happens to be a ST 155 CDTi Estate. Really looking forward to picking it on on Friday and making my way back from Buxton to North Wales, might take all the back roads.

I purchased the car as a tow car for our caravan, after looking at loads of options I couldn't find anything I really wanted or fitted my budget. Then a low mileage Mondeo ST came into my inbox on Saturday morning, drove to Buxton Saturday afternoon and it's perfect so I purchased it same day.

Yes the clutch sounded like a bag of spanners, but the dealer hadn't even had chance to fit the new clutch / DMFW as he only got it on Friday! Other than that nothing else you wouldn't expect for a car with 50K on the clock. It's got full ford service history, four nearly new tyres, exhaust fitting in November and is in impeccable condition throughout.

Friday can't come quick enough, then the fun starts with getting a tow bar fitted.
