Hi everyone, my name is Keith I'm a retired machine tool fitter from Tamworth staffs.
I have just purchased a 1999 Cougar, very good condition with full service history.
Only problems i've found so far is a sticking rear brake, the radio (700rds) works great but blank screen. I have also found a bit of damp on the floor well, N/S rear.
The engine is sweet and runs very well. Very pleased with the car overall, looking forward to a good run in it.
I also own a Hyundai Santa Fe which I have passed on to my son, so the Cougar is flying machine after a 2 litre diesel, hope its as reliable!
Looking forward to scanning the forum, looks great. :)
 
Welcome to the club, Keith. Is your Cougar a V6 or a Zetec and which colour did you go for? Do you have any pictures to post up?
 
Hi Keith and welcome to ukcougar.com. If you want to take it for a good run there are a few of us getting together on Sunday at Durham Services on the A1M at around 1.00pm, I am sure you will be made more than welcome.

Thans everyone, I have bought the car off my cousin who has just returned home to Australia, he had bought it for a run around. The car has stood around for 8 months in a field, but with a bit of love and attension she is looking pretty good. The log book hasn't arrived back from Aus yet so i am waiting for that so i can register and tax it. The MOT runs out mid March but has only done 1500miles since the last one.
the car is a V6 Duratec with manuel gearbox, silver in colour with a lot of miles on the clock but in very good condition. My cousin bought it from a gent who had lost his job and needed to get shut. He has fitted new tyres, front and rear discs and pads plus a few other jobs. I am sure i will find a few probs, but hey, I'm retired and it will give me another interest. looking forward to a good run
