2001 Ford Mondeo LX review from UK and Ireland
"Thrown together Ford rubbish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear passenger side Caliper seized.
Handbrake cable.
Reverse light switch.
Constant knocking from the engine.
General comments?
Totally unreliable in every aspect.
Excessive wind noise from the front doors.
Handbrake naturally useless.
Geared for top speed making it very sluggish in its power delivery.
Rattly in the front and impossible to stop it.
Eats bulbs, I have replaced 2 in 2 weeks.
