• Why is it daft? You like the car and getting another that you like will not be straight forward.

    Are you sure it has failed. I know that Mondeo dual mass rattle loudly even though, especially after round town driving and if started with out the clutch depressed.

    Oils are service even with a sealed for life claim for boxes and diffs.

  • Why is it daft?

    Just in an economic sense, although if the second hand market stays the way it is, it might actually hold a bit of value (only comparable one on autotrader at the moment has 40k more miles on the clock and is £2600 which is what I paid last year).

    It’s just the pang of “I should get something sensible, boring and cheap”, rather than gambling on the longevity of an older but nicer car.

    DMF is deffo failing - making noise with half depressed clutch, juddery when pulling away and in stop start traffic. It’s a bit of a PITA but nothing too awful. Mate has confirmed it’s deffo DMF when I showed him.

  • £2600 is not bangernomics to me, it is worth investing in as it is still a valuable car and it will increase the value/sellability (is that a word) with a new flywheel clutch fitted.
