1993 Ford Mondeo GLX review from UK and Ireland
"A very poor example of a reputable fleet car by Ford"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been a bad runner, excessive exhaust smoke, low performance and high fuel consumption.
Parts replaced to try and rectify the problems.
Cold start valve replaced.
Pump overhauled.
Airflow meter.
Filters changed.
Injectors changed.
All these were replaced with no success ending with the car not being able to start, when eventually started the max speed was 10 mph.
General comments?
The car in general, was comfortable and well shod, no visible rust and the brakes were very good, but a friend of mine commented "that he has seen less smoke coming off a PECKETT 0-6-0 TANK LOCOMOTIVE".
