Summary
What does this car say about you?
Goes with my grey hair.I like old style.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
The like it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably not.I know my way around cars and have spent quite a bit of time getting the ford diesel to run the way it should.This is mainly cleaning engine breather parts.Also it helps getting warranty work done.It does get boring doing it to a modern ford engine.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not a ford as those are the bits that have caused the issues.I am undecided about a replacement.
