had a mk1 v6 mondeo, the plastic impeller breaks off this is true and if you dont notice it the head gaskets go quickly, i currently have a 52 plate mondeo tdci, watch for split intercoolers, sticking egr valves causing stalling , and duel mass flywheels failing which are expensive, look in service history, mine is the 130 slightly more on road tax but very nice drive, great mid range 70 - 90 great, went from london to newcastle and back to peterborough with out the light coming on, had to stop as was tired lol think i would have made it on one tank so cant speak highly enough of them so far that its lol
