I am thinking of buying a ST 24 Mondy, Have always like them, anybody heard anything bad ?? or are they good cars ??

Cheers

Alex........

 

Nothing bad mate, just make sue you get the water pump impeller changed for a metal one!

Had mine a year and a half and i have had no problems at all!!!

Infact we are engaged, due to get married on Valentines day!

Good luck mate, really hope you get one, you won't regret it!

 

Kool ,will have a look at the st owners website later...

Al..........

 

Perhaps consider the 2.5 V6 Ghia X with RSAP body kit. These are essentially the same as the ST24 except they come with a few extra toys I think the suspension might not be as "sporty" on the ghia x but they're all interchangable.

Also a ghia would be cheaper to insure than a ST.

.......and awful Woodgrain Dashboard!!!!

Suspension is the same.


I'D STILL get a 24!!!

 

lol forgot about the wooden dash, but these are all interchangable parts!

The ghia x also comes with leather seats, heated front seats and electric drivers seat, cruise control and if you get a later one also has full climate control instead of just air con. I paid Ł1750 for my ghia x. The ST's fetch a lot more money too!

 

I just want a low mileage Standard ST 24, no mods etc...

Al.........

 

Like me babe, mine is standard other than the K&N induction kit (already on the car when i bought it)

Have a look on the ST Owners Club site, in the cars for sale bit.

REALLY REALLY hope you get one!!

What colour are you looking for?

 

Lucylou, thats a tight fit up against the wall there! Is that where you normally park it!?!

 

Pmsl!

It's not my house, and funnily enough I get out the drivers side! I park that close because if you don't leave enough room on the road i will end up with the side of my car missing where some old dear has reversed up and not looked where she is going!
Has happened before, but luckily.... not to my baby!

 

lol. sod parking that close to a wall all the time. You know just the once you'll catch the mirror on the wall!

 

Been doin it for about 9 years and i haven't yet! But now you've said that i bloody well will!!!!

You should have seen me manouver a Transit!

 

I am not sure of colour tbh, Silver or Black Probably..


What colours do they come in ??

Al...

 

Black , Blue, White, Silver, Red, Grey/Blue.........

 

Hi Alex
I've got a low mileage (gen 48k, ffsh) Stunning cool/blue only mods 18" wolfrace alloy wheels, stainless twin exit exhuast. Very very very good car.
Here's a pic

I know this is naughty but i have just been let down by someone on everyones fav auction site!

 

im also thinkin about an st 24, ive got a series 1 escort turbo at the min. they are nice. are they quick or slugish?

 

They are really comfy practical cars with nice bit a bit no lag torque. But they get no attention like an rs turbo does and get boring very quickly to be honest. I love mine as a daily driver. But I dont think it would ever have replaced my rs turbo or cossie.

 

hmmm dunno wot to do now! just dont like puttin all the miles in the series one!

 

I'm getting one too, went our for a quick blast with a guy from the meg site on sunday. Well impressed, shot straight upto 100mph (on a private road officer ) with ease, especially for a bulky mondeo. Also we were happily chatting whilst he was doing that speed, not having to shout over to each other as I did in my cossie & rst.

I'm going to see a couple this weekend, should make a nice weekend car for me and family (i'm feeling old, i'll be wearing slippers next )

Rick

 

Mine's gone now, and to be honest i really miss it apart from the sky high fuel bills. Still my RS2k still puts a smile on my face

 

hi


i have been looking a st200

 

Picked this up on sunday, 51k, ffsh



I originally wanted a 2000 model, but was amazed at the condition of this.

 

THAT is GORGEOUS mate!!! I'm soooo Jealous, i was looking at getting a silver 24 but fell in love with the panther black one!

 

st200's are gettin pretty cheap now roundabout the 4k mark, plus you get the recaros and 200bhp

 

Hi people,
I am thinking of buying a mondy st200 what are they like performance wise. I had a Mk2 mondy si 20ltr about six month ago and it was a flyer and im missing the get up and go that it had cos im driving a mk6 escort 1600zetec at the moment. As some one said they are getting quite cheap to buy now and wondered if they were any better than the 20ltr si.

 

An st200 will deffo be an improvement on your escort

 

Only weak points i know of are, the water Pump and front seat sub frames.

 

Yeah theres somthing about panther black isnt there lucy My escort gti is panther

When its clean and the sun shines you can see all the flakes in the paint sparkle

P.s, do you still keep to your word?(last bit of your sig)

If so then respect, bloody hate washing my car when its this cold

 

Prefer the silver myself

ST24 RSAP 2001 Y reg 41k

 

Lovely mate

 

Well at the moment it's once a week!

Still to bloody dark by the time i'm home from work, so i have to make do with weekends!

 

Alex
if your still looking for mondy, definately go for st24 and not ghia X, suspension is different, lower and stiffer. They ride so much better than ghias, the seat are sh*t loads more supportive, and half leather so you don't slide around so much. And you wouldn't need to see the naff plastic wood.

 

u will love it matey. it gets to silly speeds without any hassle, and at 3500rpm's the secondaries open up so u get a little kick in with more power.

as said though, they dont receive as much attention as an RS or cosworth.

although mine was ideal because i can meet up with mates and it blends in and when i'm at work it blends in with all the executive cars aswell.

saloons looks better though

 

the 200's get more attention because of the colour, i wouldnt change mine for an RS ever.. rather have something you dont see a lot of than just another RS turbo or cossie

 

Here here!!!

I'll NEVER have an RS

 

YER WELL GEUSS WHAT MY MATE GOT A ST24 WEN HE WAS 17 AND HIS DAD HAD A GHIA AND THE GHIA WAS SHIT!!!!!SEATS ARE CRAP DONT GRIP,DASH IS AND MOST ARE SALOONS WHICH LOOK SHIT IN MY OPINION IN THAT SHAPE!!

 

I had a 97' ST24 saloon which looked just like a Ghia ......but then i fitted the RSAP kit and some BK 299 wheels and it transformed the looks of the car

Swappd it fairly recently for an ST200 which i love, and it's a hatch which is prolly more practical, but i do miss the old 24

Great cars for not a lot of money now!!!

 

hi there new to this but thought that id post here about buying an st24 ...well ive just bought one about 3months ago and wot a lovely car to drive ...as for the bloke saying the sallon looks crap well i disagree mines in panther black fully skirted [rsap kit]17inch wheels look like diamond cut and it looks great i really wanted the saloon as opposed to the hatch as u dont see many of them ..anyways had me say maybe ill pop back another time bye 4 now leigh

 

just like to say as ive only had my st24 3 months i really wanted to see wot it cud do so xmas night all alone on the m25 i had it flat out and still stayed to the legal speed limit lol 70x2 +5 mph and its still standard .....and im old as my kids say a coffin dodger ...but its nice to live on the edge now and then just to see if urve still got the devil in ya lol cya leigh

 

i had a silver st24 salloon before my focus, loved the car, the turning circle was huge but i loved it. Still wish i had kept it, i might buy another one soon.
