First off I've just bought the car from my dad, he's had it since it was 6 months old so know a lot of history etc with it Smile

Looking for some subtle mods and keeping it neat and tidy for a year then quite possibly upgrade to a MK3 Zetec S (2.5 V6) if funds and family allow Smile

Here's my previous car, Pug 206:

Had a lot of time and money put into it but with the arrival of a lil lad in my life it had to go, currently sat looking very standard on the drive ready to go!

So bought the Mondeo, a couple of things wrong with it which I'll go into in a few lines but here's a couple of pictures Smile

Cars been very well looked after with bodywork in mint condition bar a tiny patch of surface rust on the under sill but nothing to worry about I feel.

The two main problems 1 of which is a nuisance more than anything are as follows, the car leaks water in the boot, which is fine this time of year but come winter the car steams up instantly! I've read and had a look and its coming from behind the passenger rear light seal. I was going to ask Ford if they sell the backing material separate or if someone has found a good way to sort this and 'd rather not use silicone if possible Smile

The other is the alarm module that has failed. Around 2 months ago one of the door solenoids failed which was replaced and all worked fine until when we were driving home the red LED next to the clock came on and started 'glowing' and a humming noise came from the alarm box under the dash above the throttle pedal. On removal of this module the light goes out and obviously the alarm doesn't work and neither does the central locking. I'm keeping an eye on eBay as I was told the part number needs to match 100% for it to work Smile

Opinions welcomed on mod ideas, I'm thinking subtle, such as colour coded exterior door handles from another model, all depending on how hard they are to change. A said subtle is the way forward for me as I'm not looking to keep for more and a year or two Smile

Bosch Aero wipers added!

Looking at seeing if I have the heated seats switch under the seat for a retrofit if possible next then full leather interior!

Aye I've been tempted by the RSAP kit (Front bumper, rear bumper and skirts) along with the morettes and colour coded door handles and will look at them if I can find them in the same colour as mine but if not they can stay off. As nice as they are they're still going for silly money especially if they need a respray.

If I keep the car longer than planned they may go on, if not I'll look onwards to the MK3 Smile

The car suited me well, I've always driven bigger cars along with the Pug and always preferred the comfort over the small cabin etc. Plus with the lil'un it made more sense having the Mondeo Smile

I think just lowering it would make a huge difference. But seeing as you know what you want next I would probably just save for the V6

Wow, a Mondeo without cracked bumpers. Does it have the wobbley back bumper on motorways like many of them had?

Nope all the bodywork is spot on! Like I say it's been in the family since near enough day one so it's been very well looked after! May not be to everybody's taste but I can't knock the build quality etc compared to the Pug! Meets all my needs as well as the Pug was not practical for the lil'un!
