Random question, did they fix the 'rain all flys in through the window' issue the mk4 had on the new ones?
233s many mile Mondeo

And the bad luck continues
Lovely stone chip so it will be another visit from the nice man st national windscreens
In the drivers view and bigger than 10mm so new screen time
And about half hour after that happened it was seriously pooped on by an exploding seagull
Should have stayed in bed

Rotten luck 233! I hope not but the next unlucky thing will be a flat tyre!
But if a chipped windscreen and an annoying smashed window is all that goes wrong you wont be doing badly at all in the long run

Blimey! That's some bonkers bad luck.
Do you keep a fund for thing like repainting seeing as it's your job?

Fords recommendation is every 18k
due to the amount time it spends idling and the stop start use I tend to half the ford interval, eg every 9k for the mk5.
costs are pretty low as I do it myself. and the intermediate is nothing more than an oil and filter.

slight typo there, unless you averaged over 18,000 miles a day between the 11th and the 26th
What was your old one on again?
fixed,
old one left my company on 312k
And here I am wondering how reliable a diesel will be for my 15-18k/year
as long as you drive a diesel properly and look after it they will run forever,
they all have their own little quirks,
ie the pug 2l engines (as found in the Mondeo need a good spanking every now and then to prevent them clogging up,
the 1.6s are very fussy with using the right oil, cheap oil their scrap after 100k
