Except for the VCT Non-VCT difference for that you just need the new computer though. If your needing a new one then yes it's possible. Lee Cox In life begins responsability... Project Car

The new Mondeos are available with the duratec HE. BabyGurl !! This is where you disappeared to. The people on ZX2.com miss your wit. What are you driving these days ?? JonsZX2SR
