1995 Ford Mondeo GLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good family cruising car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS modulator leak from one of the four valves at approximately 84500.
Failure of the cam-belt tensioning wheel with complete failure of the engine at about 50kmph (luckily). New head, valves and associated stuff!
Knock in the suspension, can't find it though!
Some electrical problems.
General comments?
I brought this car as an import from Japan.
Overall the car is a fantastic cruising car, which is a great thing here in New Zealand.
The fuel economy isn't too bad with about 10l/100km, which as it is a large car, I'm not too worried about.
