2000 Ford Mondeo Zetec S review from UK and Ireland
"Great looks, Great performance, Fix Or Repair Daily"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For the first couple of months of owning the car nothing went wrong, however...
Since then...
It needed
2 new front lower wishbones,
2 track rod ends
2 front droplinks
4 headlight bulbs (pain in the ass to fit)
2 new complete driveshafts
2 rear wheel bearings
new drivers seat as part of the frame was sticking out, (opted to upgrade to the mondeo st200 recaros)
2 new sideskirt caps
new metal water pipe
4 new coil springs
new remote key (£165 at the main dealer)
2 sets of brake discs and pads because the discs keeping warping
new clutch kit
new gear linkage.
General comments?
This is a really nice car to drive, the zetec engine pulls well throughout the rev range.
Its comfortable and ergonomic, the standard zetec seats tend to wear easily, but the recaros really do make some difference, they give a lot more support.
The RSAP factory fitted bodykit and pearlscent paint really set the car off.
Overall I think it's a great car after you forget about the work I've had to do to it.
