What a shame, mine has just turned 20 this year and running well., it a 3.0 V6 AWD with 79,000 miles. I found your videos very helpful as I like to do as much on mine as I can. I do hope you get another one and keep the informative videos coming for the XType
It's a shame, mine is now running flawlessly, I don't know if I would get used to another car. I've only been with her for 20 years. For my job I drive many different cars, but I always want the afternoon to arrive so I can get in my jaaaag. 🐯 Anyway, I hope your other project goes well.
I am saddened to see you it go. I have been following your video for a long while now, . however that is the problem with these cars,. they have so many common problems I have mine 5_years and changed all the same things you have, starter, injectors, brake cable, Belts, alternator, water pump. door handles etc. only got it back last week from Ford expert who looked at the wiring for me. I know the shocks, bushings and other rubber is starting to perish, I am afraid to check the sills So do I put more time/money/effort and "off road time" into keeping it,, or let it fly as beautiful as the x-type looks ,, it does not drive like a 2018 Merc C class :(
Depends if you are capable of doing the work yourself, if not then i understand. I've spent about £2k in 6 years of ownership, i'll take that over depreciation of a newer car.
