When I was looking for a new ( secondhand ) daily to replace my old Renault Laguna estate I was after a Mondeo estate but I could'nt find one that was with a petrol engine, they all were diesel's and most auto's which I did'nt want.I am very pleased with my Focus estate with the petrol ecoboost engine,manual 6 speed gearbox,good performance ,good mpg and no dpf valves or other diesel related problems. No wonder it is starting to piss you off Glenn. Trade her in for a petrol engined one and forget all the hassle!
