I am pretty useless though as I didn't check the bhp and the noseweight!! It all got a bit confusing in the end.

It is a Mondeo 2l tdci Zetec 2010 on a 10 plate. The one that was exactly the same but a 59 plate was 140bhp. I am hoping this one is the same. I have tried calling the garage but they are closed!

A very embarrassing call for me to make Monday morning now with a possible look into changing the car!! After all the research I have been doing, how could I forget this??

In your log book or inside cover of owners manual, the power will be shown. it will probably be in KWs (kilowatts)

THIS LINK HERE will convert them to BHP.

Hope it's the 140 then!

It's all ok, I put the registration number in for an insurance quote and it brought up the details as 140!! Phew!! I don't have the car yet so no log book as yet.
That'll teach me! We didn't go to look at the particular car we bought. We went to see another one but as luck would have it, it became available as we were there!
