My GF has a Mondeo Mk3 estate, which we use to transport the dogs. We've just bought a Vito van to replace it.
Anyway, when she bought the Mondeo it was gutless. No power at all. Lost speed going up hill. Drank diesel like it only cost 14.99p a litre instead of 149.9p a litre. I tracked it down to a hose that had a split - almost impossible to spot, as its on the inside of a 90 degree bend.
The Mondeos also eat up wheel bearings like nothing else I've driven. This 51 plate has had at least 6 replacement bearings.
