Cheap MC TDCi's - Power****?

[Crazy Dazz]

Looking at Medium~Large Diesels upto 5 or 6 years old, there seems to be an abundance of very "reasonably" priced Mondeos.
Always liked the new models, and thought the diesel would be a good option for her indoors.

But I'm assuming the reasonable pricing has something to do with the Power-****s?
Were there any that didn't have this abomination?
When did its reign of terror begin and end?
