02 tddi - noise from front on braking/accelerating - wassey
Hi there, hope someone can help me as i am a honest john virgin.I have a mondeo mk3 2.0 tddi and every time i accelerate or brake i get a loud noise coming from the front of the car.The noise sounds as if something metal has snapped and does only happen on acceleration and braking.Just wondering if any of you out there have had the same with your mondy as i don't have the spare cash to go down the elimination route.I have already spent £1400 on hp pump , injectors and starting motor.I love the drive of this mondy but it has to be the biggest lemon i have ever bought....cheers....Steve.

Remove the wheel's and check the brake pads are not down to the metal.
