Wifes daily ( or was it mine
) has now been replaced.
The Merc C230 was using far too much fuel given I am now doing a fair few more miles.. So it was sold and replaced with 52 plate Mondeo Ghia X TDCi estate.
Sadly the very reliable Merc seems to have been replaced with a less reliable car!! There's a few faults I was not expecting for a car with only 91K on the clock. My garage thinks the Dual Mass may need doing at some point although it could go on for a lot longer, and the Fuel pump or injectors may need doing as the car has exhibited a flashing glowplug lamp... Neither is a cheap job. But the car is nice otherwise.. Will replace with a X-Type or 525 Touring in a couple of years so just has to last that long and hold some value
