Re: Peter's Mondeo problem, around 30 years ago there was a similar problem with some Scania diesel engines.  After a considerable number of hours run the steel oil pick up pipe sometimes fractured. The factory modification was an additional brace to lessen the effect of vibration.

Interesting! My garage never appeared to have met this problem before. I've had this Mondeo TDCi 130 for 10 years now and can say that it is by far the best car I've ever owned in 55 years of motoring.

I just had my 50th anniversary of passing my test on the 6th of August.
How time flies.
