    http://www.honestjohn.co.uk go into The Backroom & into Technical ask there..

    Front pads are dead easy on Mondeo, BUT........

    If you're unsure of whats what, maybe the brakes are not the best place to start!!

    & please don't think this as a sarcastic comment, I'm only trying to think of safety issues!!

    I was just thinking the same thing! I will do a lot of mechanical stuff myself, but it involves which way you go (steering) or stopping (brakes) I would leave it to an expert. Try a small, resonably priced mechanic, preferably by recommendation.
    "Excuse me, this expires today, will you be reducing it?"
  • Thanks for the advice, I have always done my own servicing and am capable of doing so. I just seek an online service manual. I think by the lack of responce on here I will purchase the Haynes manual.

    It would seem a good idea for online manuals with pay to view access! Needs someone in the lnow at Haines to set it up though!!!!!!!!! Hint Hint!!!!!!!!!

    I've just bought a Ford Focus and haven't yet bought a Haynes manual for it. However, there are a few bits I need to fix (fuse etc) and had a look on the Ford Focus Owers Club site. Not sure if there is an owners club website for the Mondeo, but if not try the Focus site - Ford's are Ford's!
