Bought a 2002 TDCi Mondeo with 100k on the clock and have had nothing but problems with it. First noticed lack of power, an odd whooshing noise when upping the revs and some stumbling over the autobox selecting third gear - tracked that down to a split Turbo intercooler hose which is a very common problem.
Fixed that problem and now the engine is cutting out sporadically - under high and low revs - which is a safety concern as well as really annoying. Ran numerous diagnostics and got a range of error codes which indicate anything from dodgy crank/cam sensor to failing fuel pump!
Wouldn't touch one again with a barge pole.
