It'll cost you a fortune Ash, my mate has a mint Coupe which he loves, but it's savage on fuel, you need fairly deep pockets to run one bud. Having said that if it's just going to be a weekend toy then why not. Apparently every so often the back axle has to come out for a chasis/body check as they are prone to 'cracking' due to the torque twist on the car, plus he's scared to park/leave it anywhere in case it's gone when he get's back lol - having said all that, what a motor!________________________________________ Bianca 306 Rallye.Mondeo Titanium X. |

Yeah it's going to be a larger expense but I think it will keep the value better and wont cost a great deal more than my 306 to run in the grand scheme of things I'm 32,overweight and need a comfy barge to waft me around in not a 90's buzzy hothatch |

I'm not gonna get the same type of thrills from any other car efor what the 306 stands me and if I sell it no doubt I'll end up buying another in 6 months so might aswell just keep this one  |

Happy Valentine's day to the one I love! Yesterday started with a 5am wake up call to meet Chris Joy aka darkgti6. Sadly just after Christmas Chris' car was involved in an accident and was written off. His loss was my gain as I managed to buy loads of goodies for the China at a great price. No its just the small matter of fitting them all  |

Right as i've become a massive old man i've decided to do something about the road noise you get from the 306.Following a guide on another forum I have started to fit more sound deading/insulation to the China. First up was the boot area.Bought some Cloud 9 carpet underlay and set about trimming it to size.Also did under the rear seat area this evening And don't worry all those weight watchers,the cracked crappy original stuff weighted 4kg's and 2 layers of the new stuff was just under 2kg's so it's quieter and lighter  |

There's always someone who'll say "you're making your car heavier/slower or weight is the enemy" so I'd thought it shut them up before they start  |

And after  After all this I don't really like them Thinking they look a little small so may either swap for a set of 16" pro race 1.2's or will sell for right offer |
