last serviced at around 75000. only done 86000 to date.

May be plug leads...they're overdue a failure and they are not replaced as part of a service. £40 or used to be for a genuine Ford set from the main dealer and I'd not use aftermarket ones as the Mondeos have a large spark plug gap that puts a fair amount of stress on the plug leads.

Which probably means a tenner tops elsewhere.

Never mind, just good to be back to norm I guess?
