Hi Folks
Have just bought a V6 Xpack and I have to say I am completely blown away by the car.
Looks great, drives great and all at an incredibly low price.
Seems to me that there are very few bargains around these days but the Cougar certainly is a lot of car for not a lot of money.
Mine is 2000 version in silver frost with 88k on the clock. Had been sitting around in the previous owners driveway for the last 2 years, with only 2000 miles put on the clock since its 2009 mot.
Needed a damn good clean just to get rid of the mould, but now its beginning to look the part after some elbow grease and a good covering of Collinite. I'll post some pics when I get round to taking them.
I've been driving it around for about 2 weeks and have now covered about 1000 miles, mostly around the country roads in the west of Scotland and even though I have been putting it through its paces it has still managed to average of 30.8 mpg.
I have been used to Audi's for the last 10 years - coupe quattro 5 cyl engine and I thought that was a smooth engine but I am prepared to concede that the V6 duratec is smoother and faster. And the Cat corners almost as well as the quattro did - if anything it is more fun than the quattro since you can get a good bit of tail drift when you play around in the wet - and it has been bloody wet here for the last 2 weeks.
I have been lurking on this forum getting tips and will subscribe to get access to the useful info you keep for subscribers only.
In the meantime I have just 1 problem that happened today - the digital display stopped displaying - both of the display readouts have gone completely dead - I am hoping it is a fuse but I am having some difficulty locating the fuse box - is it behind the glove box or do you have to remove the glove box to find it? I have had a good look up behind the glove box but for the life of me I cant find a fuse box.
Your help would be greatly appreciated chaps.
