General Comments:

Very nice car to drive, but I had such a bad experience with mine I will never buy one again.

The car was overheating when I bought it and ford was totally unable to fix it.

A friend mechanic find the blockage and replace fan+fan belt+water pipe etc.

The PAS died 3 month later and on holiday in the south of France the entire electrics died (no speedo no light no electric window.. no nothing)

It took 2 weeks for to guy in France to fix it. the connection in the fuse boxes had melted.

So why did I keep repairing it??

Well, the drive was unbelievable, at 140 the car was still sucking the road, extremely comfortable (like a big Mercedes) and the 3 litre engine was nice and smooth and when needed very fast.

Faults:

Power steering jerky, window switches have gone wrong, gearbox failed, water pump failed, 2 batteries and a new exhaust in 4 years.

General Comments:

Best car I've ever had! It still drives superbly although expensive on tyres and petrol. But I put up with that for the luxury.

Rear arches are starting to rot, but at 145,000 miles I expect the odd bit of body wear. Part of the family.
