Well i was doing a few quotes on some mondeos (and was freakishly surprised to find the difference between a 2.5V6 ghia x and a 2.0 Ghia X was £40!!)

So i pootled over to parkers to get the report on the 1995-2001 spec. And then it wings me to this buy screen!!

Bummer! £1.50 for 24 hours of access, how long till we see cd's full of reports on ebay.

It's been this way for a while.

I got a Focus PDF of parkers last year that was a £1 or £2. Waste of money really, just went over what they said on the website.

You don't need to pay Parkers for spec information on the 1996-2001 Mondeo Ghia X when you post on the same forum as me

Well i was downloading them last week and i've never even been sent to that page, just a direct link. Weird and very annoying.

I wouldn't want to buy a Parker's car report as, frankly, they're pants. I begrudged having to view an advert to suffer them previously, and so handing over cash is absurd!
