hi folks, i'm new to this sort of thing so you'll have to bear with me. i bought a v6 xpack cougar last week, i had been watching them on ebay for a while and this one popped up and i put a low max on, there was no reserve set on the car and it was due to finish on the sunday morning at 8.30. would you believe it, i won it for 670 quid, it has dealer history up to 80,000 miles, present mileage is 101,000 so it probably needs a service. the guy told me the battery light comes on intermittently so i thought okay, possible alternator here, a bitch to fit i've been told. anyway i used it a couple of days and the battery light had been on a couple of hours and guess what, it wouldn't start when i came to leave my sister's house so i rang the AA, a very nice man jump started it and followed me home. i bought a new aftermarket alternator from an ebay shop, buy it now 99 quid, the guy even dropped it off for me on his way home from work, how's that for service? his ebay user name is aapoldham.
anyway it's at my usual cheap and cheerful garage for a couple of days and can't wait to get it back to give it a wash and go for a good drive to test it out. if it's all sorted for a couple of hundred quid then that's a really cheap cougar. all the electrics work including the 6 cd changer and i'm really looking forward to this weekend's trip to derbyshire for my wife's birthday.
will keep you posted on it's progress and hello to all at UKCOUGAR.COM,
cheers,
