Noisy power steering. Despite the dealers best efforts the fault remains.
Heater fan speed control failed, common fault I am told by the dealer.
Handbrake cables freeze on in winter months (car won't move).
Regular dealer attention required to prevent engine pinking under acceleration.
Outer door skins detached from the main door frame (only bonded with adhesive).
Air con failed (£160 recharge needed).
Nice to drive, comfortable and fairly quick, but expensive to run, and an epidemic of minor faults spoils the joys of owning such a car.
Had same snag on a Sierra 2.0 GLS. Was fixed by a new handbrake cables. May have been caused by water ingress into cables during floods encountered in recent winters in the British Isles. Also have one door skin the same on my current Mondeo 1.6. Thanks for the info.
Ford Mondeo 1998 Si.
Only owned this car for two months. the best car we have ever owned!
Fuel consumption is so good! Even on short work runs.
Very responsive, safe and reliable car.
I previously had a 1993 1.8glxi. Which also was a good car. In the year we had it it only had the clutch replaced. Also some general wear and tear work.
Didn't want to let it go!! but had to move on.
The dealer we bought it from (Shipley cars) was and has been one of the best ones we have ever dealt with.
We will certainly have another mondeo!!
1998 Mondeo si.
I had the car for just over two years Yes the heater speed control is dodgy and the power steering a trifle noisy. But it handles like a dream and is a great car to drive. The fuel consumption is relativly good about thirty mpg with spirited driving. I am now scratching my headtrying to decide what affordable large car I can replace it with when the time comes.
