  • Nissan Micra/Fiesta/Peugeot - Used cars 24 Sep 2018 (Forum)
    I know it's about the cars performance and reliability but don't want anything pre 2003-teenage daughter doesn't want to be rolling up at her mates in a matchbox on wheels! Kids eh? So main questions; Dealer or private? Min MOT length? Max mileage? (Recently been told high mileage doesn't necessarily mean that it's a nail as long as it's got good MOT history (absolutely love the MOT checker on the web) Love fords as easy to get parts for but Father in law has had issues with every ford he's had (mainly focus and mondeo (coil packs, munching oil etc) Love pugs too but would prefer diesel although diesels are like rocking horse crap to get hold of.

  • Ford Mondeo 1999 - Mondeo II central locking 17 Aug 2011 (Forum)
    I have just also noticed that 1 press of the remote, which should release the driver's door and boot only, also releases the o/s/r door.  I suspect I have some corrosion on a connector somewhere which is hydroscopic causing loss of power to the lock. The trouble is, I don't know where to start looking. Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

  • Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 02 2.0 Wrong front coil spring? 11 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    Shudder abates when you ease off the gas. Just noticed that the previous owner fitted a new coil spring at the front o/s. How can I check that its the correct type? And could it cause a shudder under load? I noticed that when I had a 15-stone passenger in the front passenger seat the other day the shudder was virtually gone.
