Hi Bessie,

Well, I loved it!!! But, my other half has seen an Insignia that he wants to go and have a look at now! He's driving me crackers!

We're going to have a good think about them over the weekend and make the final decision on Monday. He wants to test drive this Insignia first aand I'll have to do all the research again!

So...I'll be back on Monday with our final decision:)

According to this weeks Autoexpress the Insignia is the best value 
used car , they were talking about a 1 year old vehicle at around £9K though (1.8 petrol) 2ltr diesel wil be more expensive though. Nip into a newsagent and have a quick read.

we had vauxhall dealers round our way selling the petrol for 10k new, I had a 1.8 sxi for 3 days once, i was more than happy to hand it back as it drank fuel wouldnt pull you out of bed and was just all round rubbish imho

laticsbird glad you liked the Mondeo

It's not a case of IF, but sadly when they go, (they will all go eventually), they are ALL mega expensive fixes.   

If you're going to keep the car a long while, get the conversion done on the clutch back to a solid flywheel, there was no need for ford to stick a chuck of rubber in the flywheel, that's what clutch springs are for.
