For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013

Had mine 5 years, Now with over 170,000 miles. I fancy a change.

But what next?   Looked at Rover 75's But they dont go as well as the Mondeo or Handle as well.
Fuel consumption is worse.

I hate Vectra's. Ugly and those seats. I think they forgot the padding on the one i tried.

Ford dealer. Noooo... I dont want to pay 100% more for them to have a coffee machine and posh carpets as they empty my wallet.

Usually buy from smaller traders who have bought direct from auction.
Thats only because of the auction fees for private buyers seems to have jumped over the years and i dont need to goto 20 and have someone bid 50p more than me.

Under £2500 for a 5 year old Mondeo. Thats what i paid last time.
5 years on i have put a few more miles on it that usual and fancy a change.

But nothing seems to compare to the all round package of the MK3 Mondeo.

Had a look at a MK4 today and the engine sounded a bit rattly. Expected it to be much quieter.

I bought my 55 reg tiptronic auto TDCI a few yeas ago. Still feels like new but garage say the rear engine oil seal is going. Engine out job to replace.

I would have another like a shot but that oil seal worries me and I don't know what to look out for to spot if it is going on one I might buy.

When you say rear oil seal i presume you mean the gearbox side?

When i think of rear of the engine its the bit between the engine and bulkhead. There isnt an engine oil seal there that requires the engine out.

Oil at the rear could be the oil feed pipe. Its part rigid but the lower part has some flex. They can split. But the top gasket can week also.

Do you get smoke from the rear of the engine when its hot?

The diesels go quite well. Whether its the 115 or 130 2L. The 2.2 is even better but insurance is a bit higher.

Been looking for something different, But nothing competes on the full package.
Some maybe quicker on a straight line but loses out on the handling or ride quality.
Several have similar power and performace yet the MPG people get in real life seems worse than the Mondeo.

I may end up buying another.
