I got the 1.8 Zetec s, on a mix of b, a roads and motorways I get 35-36 mpg, driving like miss daisy I can almost get 40mpg. 33 mpg is a bit low, have a moan to the dealer,

I've had mk1 (Millennium), a mk2 (2.0 tdci titanium) and no got a mk2.5 (1.8 Zetec s), the mk 2s feel a bigger car with better sound deadening and a better road presence. Creaking normally indicates somethings been taken out or reworked and not put back in tightly. Or maybe you got a car made on a Monday morning?! :wink:

Picked it up this morning!! Following 3 hours sleep after a night shift at Heathrow Airport! Photos coming soon!!

I got it! 59 plate (registered 20/1/10) 1.8 Zetec-S 5 door in Ocean Blue with <180 miles on the clock. Photo's comming soon! Pick it up weekend after next! woo hoo!!

I don't know if this is any use but, Back a couple of years back I tried to put diesel in my 1.8 Zetec powered millennium. Luckily I only managed to get a litre in there, called the RAC and the nice man told me I could have put 10% in there and got away with it. I filled upto the brim with normal Unleaded and suffered no problems what so ever!

Just thinking its done 100k miles and don`t want to start spending big money on DMFs etc!

And you know cos you`ve got a 2.0TDCi? :roll:

Hardly hold their value that well as been offered £3,300 for my '05 2.0TDCi titanium which has full Ford service history and Emmaculate condition!!. I currently go through front tyres in about 8 - 10k miles so was looking for something with a little less torque!!!! I`ve just found a '10 model ('59 plate) 1.8 zetec (which I had in my Mk1 Millennium) for £11,999 which I may be tempted with!

I was using the 2.0TDCi for a lot of mileage with work so needed the mid range for the motoway mileage and the economy I was doing but I've knocked using my own car on the head for works use. I would like the 1.6TDCi Zetec-s but they are like rocking horse waste to get hold of and the 1.8 is the old ford lump (not as good as 1.6 and its £35 a year tax), I can`t warrant a 2.0TDCi Zetec-s so its either the 1.6 or 1.8 petrol.

I've currently got '05 plate 2.0TDCi 3 door Titanium and she'd comming upto 100k miles so time for a change! I've got a hankering for a 1.6 (Petrol) Zetec-S on 09 or 59 plate. Whats peoples thoughts?

or titanium! :shock:

Ford must have escallated to more models in the range! or got the worst ones done 1st!

Ford contact the DVLA to get the current owners details, I`m the 2nd owner of mine! If your car is effected you get a letter! If the letter goes to the wrong person theres a SAE and a form to fill in with the correct details. Rest assured, You`ll get a letter if your cars effected!

I got my letter this morning! at least they're on the ball. Will try and book mine at a local dealers for a week tuesday. Gives me an excuse not to go to work and attend an interview for a new job! :lol:

Need to be carefull "changing gears" whilst the clutch is still engaged, can cause a great deal of wear on the Synchromesh`s and new hearboxes are none too cheap!!
