Hi,

hope someone can give me some advice. I bought a 2005 Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 130, 75k with full Ford history at the weekend. I've done 380 miles cruising on the motorway and then today it suddenly lost power but would still just about maintain speed (unless uphill). The temperature guage dropped to zero as well. The loss of torque made me think a blown Turbo straight away as it was barely driveable so I limped it the last 5 miles home.

Weirdly when I started it up an hour later when cold it worked fine again though so now i'm thinking electrical problem.

The supplying dealer will look at it but want me to pay for recovery to his dealer ship 40 miles away only three days after buying it which is a bit off. The breakdown company will charge me for this as i'm in the first 72 hours of my policy so they class it as a pre-existing condition - very helpfull.
