2001 Ford Mondeo Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable piece of scrap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant temp sensor.
Crank position sensor.
Thermostat at £100!
General comments?
Don't buy a mk3 mondeo!
Unreliable piece of junk.
Parts way dearer and harder to fit than older models.
£100 for a thermostat, which is a nightemare to get at!
Car is comfortable and drives well when it does happen to start!
Please don't even consider buying one unless you're very rich and enjoy paying for taxis, as this car will get you nowhere!
Next car will be Japanese again. Shame on Ford.
