  1. Security / Safety (Mk4 Mondeo)
    Damn. I discovered 5 minutes before needing to take my car in for it's MOT this morning that the middle rear seat belt has seized 😫 I tried to free it but couldn't. You can hear that knocking noise you get when you tug on a belt. There are no warning symbols on the dash and all the other seat...
  2. Suspension/Wheels/Brakes/Steering (Mk3 Mondeo)
    Hey all, I've got some eBay replacement bolts for the inner end of the 'tennis racquet' arms that the springs rest in. The eccentric on the bolts is 90 degrees out of phase, if the widest part of one washer points to 12 o'clock, the widest of the other to 3 o'clock. Is this right? Or have I...
  3. Transmission / Drivetrain (Mondeo Mk3)
    Hi My nct/mot was today and failed on brakelines/hoses offside rear, ie brake pipe. Was advised to get both done. How big a job is this and is it like other cars a short copper pipe to brake hose? Waiting on quotes as local ford wont do it ie no pipe bending kit. The other items I was...

    Hi Has anyone had this problem and can offer some advice please? The rear wiper on my 2005 UK Mk2 Focus 1.6 has started not parking correctly. Sometimes it will park halfway through a normal cycle, sometime it will complete a cycle and a bit, other times it will pause and then carry on later...
  6. Suspension/Wheels/Brakes/Steering (Mk3 Mondeo)
    Hi All, About 8 months ago I bought a 2005 Mondeo (1.8L petrol), which has currently done about 120,000 miles. Recently, the car has started to produce a strange noise, which seems to be coming from the rear left. It's hard to describe, but it almost sounds like sitting inside of an airliner...
  7. Electrical (Mk4 Mondeo)
    Hi everyone Since I bought my Mondeo earlier in the year, the rear wiper and washer have both not worked. I finally got round to doing some investigations and found all fuses and relays OK, no other electrical issues that I've noticed on the car. I've checked the wiring to the wiper motor - 3...
  8. Mechanical (Mk2 Focus)
    Hello people, I'm normally on the Mondeo forums, but had to do a job on the better half's Focus for a change! Replaced the rear trailing arm bushes, but I couldn't find much info on doing this with the special tool whilst still attached to the car. So I've written a guide. I hope that it is...

  10. Suspension/Wheels/Brakes/Steering (Mk3 Mondeo)
    I recently changed my rear brake discs and pads. One of the carrier bolts was rounded. Doing some research people advised to only use the genuine Ford replacement bolts so I called the main dealer who told me I can't buy them separately and will have to buy a new carrier with the bolts for £180...

The motor is working as expected but the wiper arm when at rest/parked is fully in contact with the rear screen but.....when it moves up the...
  12. Interior / Exterior (Mk3 Mondeo)
    Hi there, Just wondering if anyone can tell me if all the Mk3 rear bumpers are the same? I have a 2001 Mk3 zetec 2.0 auto liftback in stardust silver and need to replace a cracked rear bumper and was hoping to do it on the cheap. Is it likely that any mk3 rear bumper will swap straight over or...
  13. Suspension/Wheels/Brakes/Steering (Mk3 Mondeo)
    I had car checked out by a non ford garage a few days ago, have noise from rear, anyway wheel bearing gone on passenger side and brakes pads were checked as well. It was pointed out that the pads on one wheel, rear on drivers side were a lot thinner than on passenger side. I am thinking of...
  14. Suspension/Wheels/Brakes/Steering (Mk3 Mondeo)
    It's a Mk3 estate done 212K and it knocks constantly at the rear. Vague and skips slightly sideways when cornering and hit a dip or sunken manhole cover/drain. From what I've read it sounds like the mounting bushes. Some sellers state same bushes for all Mk3s others state different for the...

  18. Electrical (Mk4 Mondeo)
    Hi guys, I can't seem to find a thread that has dealt with this, so apologies if there is one. I need to replace the lamp in the high level brake light. The manual says it's not a serviceable part and I should contact the dealer. Obviously I'd rather not :lol: I've found other threads online...

    Hello, I'm trying to change the rear drop links on my 2004 Mondeo Estate and would like some advice regarding the best way to do it please? I've had the car jacked up (one side only) and tried to undo the bottom nut. It turned but never seemed to get further down the thread. Am I missing...
